Seasons of Progress
In his New Year’s Eve address, President Xi Jinping framed China’s 2025 ambitions through the poetic metaphor of 'four seasons'—acknowledging both challenges ('winds and rains') and triumphs ('rainbows'). 'How extraordinary a year we have had,' he declared, blending optimism with a candid nod to global uncertainties.
Economic Harvest
Xi spotlighted 'high-quality development' as China’s top priority, citing a GDP of 130 trillion yuan ($18 trillion+) and record-breaking grain production. 'China’s bowls are now filled with more Chinese grain,' he said, emphasizing reduced import reliance. Coordinated urban-rural development and green tech investments also got shoutouts.
Tech Frontiers
From 10M+ new EVs to lunar samples collected by Chang’e-6, Xi highlighted innovation as key to 'self-reliance.' Quantum computing, AI breakthroughs, and green energy projects signal China’s push to lead in 'new quality productive forces.'
People First
Xi’s unusually personal tone shone as he addressed everyday concerns: jobs, childcare, healthcare. 'These are always on my mind,' he stressed, reinforcing his hands-on leadership style amidst domestic reforms.
Global Stage
Calling China a 'responsible major country,' Xi prioritized solidarity with the Global South over Western alliances. His vision includes reshaping global governance and expanding BRI partnerships—all under the banner of 'high-quality' cooperation.
Forward, Together
'Every effort counts,' Xi urged, framing 2025 as a collective journey toward modernization. With 'four seasons' as his compass, the message is clear: China’s path remains steady, rain or shine.
