Chinese President Xi Jinping, also General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, takes part in a deliberation with his fellow deputies from the delegation of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at the third session of the 13th National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing, capital of China, on May 22 (XINHUA) President Xi Jinping, also General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, on May 22 took part in a deliberation with his fellow deputies from the delegation of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, at the third session of the 13th National People's Congress, China's national legislature, stressing acting on the people-centered philosophy in every aspect of work. Edited excerpts of Xi's speeches on "People First" since 2013 follow: -In the face of the spread of COVID-19, the CPC has, from the very beginning, stated clearly that people’s life and health should be considered as the top priority. -We are willing to protect people’s life and health at all costs. -Authorities must make working for the people their primary political achievements. -The people are the main source of the Party’s confidence. -Since the founding of the CPC in 1921, we have seen protecting public health as a part of the cause of pursuing national independence and people’s liberation. -We should advocate a healthy lifestyle, promote the idea of all-round wellness, shift the focus from treating ailments to healthcare, improve the healthcare education system, enhance the health awareness of the public, and integrate fitness and healthcare across the country. -Due to industrialization, urbanization, and an aging population, and with the changing spectrum of diseases, environment, and lifestyle, China is facing a complex situation in which threats from multiple diseases coexist and various factors affecting people’s health intertwine. We have to deal with health problems facing both developed and developing countries. -Always put people’s lives first. -The people-centered development philosophy is not an abstract, abstruse concept. We will not restrict ourselves to lip service or idle reflection, but put it into practice in all areas of social and economic development. -We should reflect the people-oriented development idea at every link of economic and social development, grasp and promote in reform whatever the people care about and expect, and give the people a stronger sense of gain by implementing reform. -China follows a people-oriented development philosophy and is committed to bettering the lives of its people. Development is of the people, by the people and for the people. (Sources: Xinhua News Agency & Xi Jinping: The Governance of China (I&II)) |
