President Xi Jinping highlighted the indispensable role of delivery workers during his two-day inspection tour in Beijing this week, calling them vital to the city's daily life. 🌆
On Tuesday, Xi visited a community canteen for seniors and chatted with three delivery workers taking a break there. He inquired about their working conditions and livelihoods, emphasizing their contributions: "You've worked hard to meet the needs of countless households, and the city couldn't function without workers like you." 🛵💬
Xi urged local governments to prioritize support for workers in new employment sectors, including better access to services for their work, education, and daily needs. His remarks come as gig economy roles surge across Asia, reshaping urban labor markets. 📈
The interaction, shared widely on Chinese social media, resonates with young professionals globally who rely on delivery platforms—a nod to the gig economy's growing cultural footprint. 🌐
