Xi gives ‘thumbs-up to the people’ for successes of 2014
Print Edition
CHINESE President Xi Jinping underscored the need to continue reform and to advance the rule of law in 2015 in a New Year speech delivered yesterday, comparing them to “a bird’s two wings.”
In an address transmitted live by state broadcasters, the president told domestic and overseas audiences that 2014 was an “unforgettable” year.
“In 2014, we pressed ahead with reform, cracked many hard nuts and introduced important reforms close to the interests of our citizens.
“We adapted to the new normal of economic growth; actively promoted economic and social development, and improved the quality of people’s life,” he said.
Xi said cadres at all levels had “given it their best shot,” a popular phrase with Chinese Internet users.
“Of course, without the support of the people, we could not have achieved anything. I must give our great people a thumbs-up.”
In 2015, China will continue reform from which “there is no turning back” and advance the rule of law to protect the people’s rights and interests, guarantee social justice and promote national development, he said.
