How Chinese Modernization is Boosting People's Lives 💫
As 2025 approaches, China's consumption is on the rise! 🚀 Various regions and departments have been enhancing the supply in the country's consumption market, and it's starting to show.
Official data reveals that the popularity index for offline consumption has increased by 5% year on year, while the popularity index of services jumped by a whopping 10.6%! 📈
This consumption boom is more than just numbers—it's a reflection of improved livelihoods. \\"As far as Chinese modernization is concerned, the people's well-being matters the most,\\" said Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit to Chongqing Municipality in April.
In his domestic tours throughout 2024, \\"people\\" was one of the most frequently mentioned words by President Xi. According to an analysis by CGTN, other top keywords included \\"development,\\" \\"modernization,\\" \\"economy,\\" and \\"ecology.\\" These words highlight the direction and key elements of China's path to modernization. 🌟
People's Well-being Matters Most
President Xi has often emphasized that every issue affecting the people, big or small, deserves utmost care and attention. ❤️
During his inspection tours around China this year, he connected with ordinary folks to learn about their lives—from incomes and housing to healthcare, education, and elderly care services.
\\"The Communist Party of China (CPC) is dedicated to serving the people, and the well-being of the people of all ethnic groups and every household is my concern,\\" Xi said while visiting a multi-ethnic residential community in Yinchuan, northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in June.
Backing up these words with action, China's Ministry of Finance reports that 70% of the government's expenditure in 2024 has been allocated to ensuring the people's well-being. 💰
This year, China raised its expenditure in the national general public budget to about 28.55 trillion yuan ($3.91 trillion), up 4% from the previous year. Projected budgets for education, social insurance, and employment each surpass 4 trillion yuan in 2024!
With these efforts, China's modernization is not just about economic growth, but about enhancing the quality of life for its people. ✨
