Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, visited Yulin City, northwest China's Shaanxi Province on Monday. 

During his inspection tour, Xi visited a chemical company in Yulin as well as Gaoxigou Village and Yangjiagou revolutionary site in Mizhi County. 

Xi learned about the progress in making comprehensive use of coal amid circular economy, controlling soil erosion, advancing ecological conservation, strengthening the protection of revolutionary sites as well as sustaining the revolutionary legacy.

Visiting a chemical enterprise under the China Energy Investment Corporation in Yulin City, he stressed efforts to develop the country's energy industry, noting that such development should follow a green and low-carbon path. 

Such efforts would be conducive to peaking carbon dioxide emissions and achieving carbon neutrality without straining resources, energy and environmental capacity, Xi said.

"This will help us meet the requirements of building a community with a shared future for mankind and protect our planet Earth well," he added.
