Chinese President Xi Jinping delivers a New Year's message for 2025

Hello everyone! Time flies quickly, and a new year is coming soon. I extend my best wishes to everyone in Beijing

In 2024, we walked through spring, summer, autumn, and winter together, experiencing storms, rainbows, and moments frozen in this extraordinary year, leaving a deep impression and unforgettable

We actively respond to the impact of domestic and international environmental changes, introduce a series of policy "combination punches", and solidly promote high-quality development. China's economy is recovering and improving, with an estimated gross domestic product exceeding 130 trillion yuan. The grain production has exceeded 1.4 trillion catties, and China has loaded more Chinese grain into its bowls. Regional development is coordinated and interconnected, accumulating momentum, and the integration and resonance of new urbanization and rural revitalization. Green and low-carbon development is advancing in depth, and the beautiful picture of China is slowly unfolding

We cultivate new quality productivity according to local conditions, and new industries, new business forms, and new models are emerging in competition. The annual output of new energy vehicles has exceeded 10 million for the first time, and new achievements have been made in fields such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, and quantum communication. Chang'e 6 is the first time to sample on the back of the moon, the Dreamer explores the ocean, the Shenzhong Channel steps on the waves and the sky, and the Qinling Station in the Antarctic rises in the ice field, demonstrating the Chinese people's lofty aspirations to pursue the dream of stars and the sea

This year, I went to the local area for inspection and saw that everyone's lives are colorful. Tianshui Huaniu apples are big and red, and the fishing catch in Aojiao Village, Dongshan is full. The "Oriental Smile" in Maijishan Grottoes spans thousands of years, and the family tradition of "Liuchi Lane courtesy" is passed down from generation to generation. Tianjin Ancient Culture Street is bustling with people, and residents of Yinchuan's multi-ethnic community are as close as family. I have always been concerned about issues such as employment and income increase, "one elderly and one primary", education and healthcare that everyone is concerned about. In the past year, the basic pension has been increased, the mortgage interest rate has been lowered, the scope of direct settlement has been expanded to facilitate medical treatment in other places, and the exchange of old and new consumer goods has improved the quality of life... Everyone's sense of gain has been enriched a lot

At the Paris Olympics, Chinese athletes bravely competed and achieved the best results in overseas competitions, demonstrating the high spirit, confidence, and sunshine of the younger generation. The navy and air force celebrate their 75th birthday, and the People's Liberation Army showcases a new style. In the face of natural disasters such as floods and typhoons, the vast number of party members and cadres are at the forefront, united as one and helping each other. Countless workers, builders, and entrepreneurs are all striving for their dreams. I present awards to the recipients of national medals and honorary titles, and the glory belongs to them, as well as to every hardworking person who takes responsibility

In today's world of turmoil and turmoil, China, as a responsible major country, actively promotes global governance reform and deepens solidarity and cooperation in the global South. We have promoted the high-quality joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" to go deeper and more practical. We have successfully hosted the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). On bilateral and multilateral occasions such as SCO, BRICS, APEC, and the G20, we have clearly put forward China's propositions and injected more positive energy into maintaining world peace and stability

We solemnly celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and deeply look back on the great changes and vicissitudes of the country. Throughout the more than 5000 years of inheritance of Chinese civilization, the word "China" has been engraved at the bottom of "He Zun" and even more so in the hearts of every Chinese citizen. The successful convening of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sounded the horn for further comprehensive deepening of reform. We are striding forward in the era of reform and opening up, and Chinese path to modernization will certainly open up a broader prospect in the reform and opening up

By 2025, we will fully complete the 14th Five Year Plan. We need to implement more proactive policies, focus on high-quality development, promote high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and maintain a good momentum of economic and social development. The current economic operation is facing some new situations, challenges from external environmental uncertainty, and pressures from the transformation of old and new driving forces, but these can be overcome through efforts. We have always grown up in the baptism of wind and rain, and strengthened through trials and tribulations. Everyone should be full of confidence

Family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs are of paramount importance, ensuring that the people live a happy life. Every household hopes that children can have good education, the elderly can have good elderly care services, and young people can have more opportunities for development. These simple wishes are the yearning for a better life. We must work together to continuously improve the level of social construction and governance, create a harmonious and inclusive atmosphere, solve the big and small issues around the people, and make everyone smile more and feel warmer in their hearts

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Macau's return to the motherland, I am once again on the banks of the Hao River, where new developments and changes are delightful. We will steadfastly implement the principle of "one country, two systems" and maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family, and no one can sever our bloodline and kinship. No one can stop the historical trend of national reunification

The accelerated evolution of the world's century long changes requires a broad mind to transcend barriers and conflicts, and a broad sense of compassion to care for the fate of humanity. China is willing to work with other countries to be a practitioner of friendly cooperation, a promoter of mutual learning of civilizations, and a participant in building a community with a shared future for mankind, jointly creating a better future for the world

Although dreams are far away, chasing them can lead to success; Although it may be difficult to make a wish, it can be fulfilled with perseverance. On the new journey of Chinese path to modernization, everyone is the leading role, every contribution is precious, and every ray of light is shining

Rivers and mountains add beauty, and starlight reflects thousands of households. Let us embrace the new year with hope. Wishing the motherland peace, prosperity and flourishing! Wishing everyone all their wishes come true, much joy and peace in Chang'an
