2025 marked a new milestone in China's development – the final year of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) and the year in which China charted the course for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030), a pivotal moment for further deepening reform across the board and advancing Chinese modernization with steady, enduring momentum.

Driven by his devotion to the people and a vision for development, Chinese President Xi Jinping maintained a constant on-the-ground presence throughout 2025.
