Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday called for concrete efforts to bring benefits to the people. He made the remarks in his 2018 New Year Address, saying great development has been achieved by the people, and its fruits should be shared by the people. Noting people’s concerns such as education, employment, income, social security, healthcare, old-age security, housing and the environment, Xi said the efforts at improving people’s well-being have not always been satisfactory, calling for an enhanced sense of mission and responsibility. “The Party committees, governments, and officials at all levels must constantly hold in their hearts the interests and concerns of the people, and regard the benefit of the people as their highest career accomplishment; they must think for the people, respond to their needs and work for the greater happiness of the people,” Xi said.
