As the Communist Party of China  (CPC) celebrates its 105th anniversary this year, the world's largest political party with over 100 million members examines how it has stayed true to its founding mission of serving the people wholeheartedly. Amid choppy international waters and global headwinds, the CPC has had one hand on the tiller of China's development while extending the other outward, sharing hard-won lessons freely to meet shared human challenges.

That commitment is visible in daily life, as Brit expat Luke Johnston has discovered in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Luke takes us on a tour of his new hometown Urumqi, where green energy powers everything from buses to neighborhoods.

Blessed with abundant wind and solar energy resources courtesy of the vast Gobi Desert lying to its east and northeast, Urumqi invests in clean energy to improve people's daily lives. Riding on the city's Bus Rapid Transit system, visiting a rooftop solar panel station and exploring a city park, Luke documents how China's modernization program translates into real-world upgrades that benefit not only local people but people everywhere.
