Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has emphasized the importance of strengthening China’s manufacturing industry to advance the nation’s modernization efforts.

While touring the company’s intelligent manufacturing plant, Xi observed the performance of various bearing products and inspected advanced production lines. He spoke with workers about the critical role of manufacturing in China’s development.

He stressed the need for China to continue strengthening its manufacturing sector by fostering self-reliance and mastering core technologies in key areas. Xi called for enhanced collaboration between industries, universities, and research institutes, and underscored the importance of cultivating high-quality talent to drive innovation.
