Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, on Tuesday inspected the city of Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Xi visited a cultural exhibition featuring the Zhuang ethnic group in the Anthropology Museum of Guangxi and watched cultural performances. 

He learned about the promotion of ethnic solidarity and progress, and the protection and inheritance of ethnic culture. 

Hailing Guangxi's great progress in development in recent years, the president said that it has successfully lifted more than 6.3 million people out of poverty.

No individual or ethnic group has been left behind throughout the nation's battle against poverty, and this will remain true as China embarks upon its new journey toward socialist modernization, he said. 

The Chinese people, the CPC, and the CPC leadership have honored and will continue to honor their commitments, he added that now all 56 ethnic groups in China have been lifted out of poverty, and called on more efforts in moving forward on a new journey toward the country's second centenary goal of fully building a modern socialist country.

With 55.75 million rural residents lifted out of poverty over the past five years, China will meet its first centenary goal within the set time frame – complete building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
