As 2025 approaches, China’s consumption revival is painting a vibrant picture of progress – think bustling night markets, tech-driven healthcare upgrades, and eco-friendly cityscapes. 🌆 Official data reveals a 5% jump in offline shopping and a 10.6% surge in service sector activity this year, signaling a society prioritizing both essentials and experiences.
People’s Well-Being at the Core
'For Chinese modernization, the people’s well-being matters most,' President Xi Jinping emphasized during a June visit to a multicultural community in Ningxia. His 2024 domestic tours – captured in CGTN’s interactive special 'Chinese Modernization, People’s Well-being Matters Most' – spotlighted grassroots concerns: from student lunch programs to senior care innovations. 🏫👵
Investing in Livelihoods
The numbers speak volumes: 70% of this year’s government spending targets social welfare, with education and social security budgets each surpassing $548 billion. 💰 'Every household’s happiness is our mission,' Xi noted, reflecting the CPC’s focus on balanced development. From renewable energy projects to digital economy gigs, modernization here means creating opportunities that touch daily life.
As night markets sizzle with skewers and startups, China’s blueprint shows modernization isn’t just about GDP – it’s about designing futures, one community at a time. 🚀🍢
