Regional revitalization
In April 2016, China's central government rolled out new measures to revitalize the northeastern region, which had been struggling with industry decline, falling investment and daunting business environment. Reforms were carried out, with a series of supporting policies, leading to a streamlined administration and an improved business environment.
During his inspection to Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces in 2018, Xi called for "fresh efforts" to beef up the revitalization of northeastern China.
To make it happen, Xi said the region should deepen reform to tackle contradictions, inspire innovation with strong dynamism, stick to the new development philosophy, enhance the advantages of green development, deeply integrate the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and make more efforts to improve people's livelihood.
He asked local governments to continue to support ecological construction, food production and enhance the advantages of green development. It is of vital importance to make full use of the unique resources and advantages of the northeastern region to promote the development of the local economy, he said.
Agricultural modernization
President Xi noted that farming modernization and food security should be key focal areas.
In the work report delivered at the 19th CPC National Congress in 2017, he called issues related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers "fundamental to China as they directly concern the country's stability and our people's well-being."
"Addressing these issues should have a central place on the work agenda of the Party, and we must prioritize the development of agriculture and rural areas," Xi said.
In a letter [https://news.cgtn.com/news/2019-09-06/Xi-encourages-more-experts-tech-innovation-in-agriculture-JLeMIZfSCs/index.html ] to experts, teachers and students in over 50 agricultural colleges last year, Xi said China cannot become modernized without modernizing its agricultural sector and rejuvenating its rural areas, with science and technology playing a key role.
He asked agricultural experts to help farmers boost agricultural productivity and technological innovation, so as to improve people's living standards in rural China.
