Beijing, Tuesday—President Xi Jinping has sent a congratulatory letter to the opening of the ninth national congress of the Chinese Young Pioneers (CYP), marking a fresh chapter in youth engagement on the Chinese mainland.
In his message, Xi—who also serves as general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission—commended the CYP as a national organization for children. He urged members to stay true to the Party's ideals and to hone the skills and values needed to build socialism with Chinese characteristics.
As the CYP brings together young pioneers from across the Chinese mainland, its ninth congress sets the stage for a renewed focus on leadership, community service, and patriotism among the next generation. Xi's emphasis on 'following the Party' underlines the organization's role in guiding children toward becoming qualified builders of China's future.
For global onlookers, the congress offers insight into how China is shaping youth development to align with national goals. While details of the agenda will unfold in the coming days, one thing is clear: the CYP remains a cornerstone in the cultivation of tomorrow's leaders on the Chinese mainland.
