SINCE the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, China has witnessed fundamental changes over the past 10 years and the country has always put agriculture and rural areas high on the agenda of its economic work. After eradicating absolute poverty in 2020, China is on the path of realizing rural revitalization. Advanced technologies have ensured increased grain production, specialty tourism has brought villagers tangible benefits, the well-being of rural residents is consistently improving and the overall ecology has been remarkably improved. Rural vitalization, proposed in 2017 as a key move to develop a modernized economy, has breathed new life into China’s villages. (Xinhua) |
