President Xi Jinping has called for faster rural revitalization efforts to drive Chinese modernization forward during an inspection tour in Hubei Province. 🌍 The leader visited a high-tech vegetable farm and engaged with residents in a local village, emphasizing the need to 'prioritize rural development as a cornerstone of national progress.'
Speaking in Xianning City on Tuesday, Xi highlighted sustainable agriculture, tech-driven farming, and improved living standards as key pillars of the strategy. 🚜 Urbanization and rural development must 'work like two wheels on a bicycle,' he noted, blending poetic imagery with policy goals.
This push aligns with China's broader modernization vision, blending traditional sectors with digital innovation – think of it as a national version of FarmVille meets Silicon Valley. 💡 Analysts suggest the move could create new opportunities for green tech startups and agri-businesses while addressing urban-rural economic gaps.
