Workers: The Backbone of Progress
The article, authored by Xi in his capacity as General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, emphasizes workers' contributions to milestones like tech innovation, poverty reduction, and COVID-19 response. \"From assembly lines to research labs, China's workers have been the driving force,\" the text notes, highlighting their role in achieving \"historic achievements\" since 2012. 🛠️
Trade Unions Get New Mandate
Xi's message directs trade unions to prioritize workers' rights protection—especially for gig economy employees—while maintaining strict adherence to Party leadership. The article also urges local governments to address labor-related challenges through stronger institutional support. 🤝
Spirit of the Times
With calls to promote \"craftsmanship\" and model worker ideals, the piece aligns workforce mobilization with broader goals of building a modern socialist society. Analysts see this as reinforcing Xi's vision of collective effort in achieving China's rejuvenation. 🚀
