🇨🇳 Chinese President Xi Jinping, also General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, delivered warm Spring Festival greetings this week to all servicemen across the nation. The gesture, timed days before Lunar New Year celebrations peak on February 16, 2026, underscores the leadership's recognition of military dedication.
💬 "Our troops are the guardians of peace and stability," Xi emphasized, aligning his message with this year's festival theme of unity. The move comes as millions in China travel home for family reunions, while military personnel remain stationed nationwide.
🎉 Analysts note the greeting reinforces civil-military ties during China's most culturally significant holiday. Social media trends show #SaluteToServicemen gaining traction, with young netizens sharing appreciation posts featuring digital red lanterns 🏮 and virtual fireworks 🎆.
