Chinese President Xi Jinping's inspections across China on high-quality development

Throughout 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited cities across the country to advance his vision of high-quality development. His inspection tours consistently underscored this approach as China's strategic direction, one that requires confidence and sustained effort as the nation completes its 14th Five-Year Plan and prepares for a new phase of modernization. During a visit to Shanghai in April, President Xi stressed that innovation in frontier areas such as artificial intelligence depends on young talent and the ability to independently master core technologies. CGTN's Cen Ziyuan begins this retrospective on President Xi's intensive inspection schedule by revisiting a bearing manufacturer in central China's Henan Province.
