国内英语资讯:Xi stresses deepening reform, opening-up in new era

On Wednesday afternoon, Xi went to the provincial capital Guangzhou, where he visited the historic Xiguan neighborhood and Jinan University. After hearing a work report on Guangzhou's urban planning and construction, he pointed out the importance of protecting historical culture and highlighting local features in urban planning.

At Jinan University, Xi viewed a gallery showing the university's history and achievements and talked with students from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan and those who were overseas Chinese nationals.

"China's connection with over 50 million overseas Chinese nationals is a unique advantage in its development," Xi said, noting that overseas Chinese nationals should also share some credit in China's reform and opening up.

Xi expressed his hope that the university faculty could better run the college and create better conditions for overseas Chinese nationals to come to the motherland to study and carry forward Chinese culture.

During a visit to Guangzhou Mino Automotive Equipment Co. Ltd, Xi said private businesses had made great contributions to China's economic growth and had a very promising future.

"The CPC Central Committee always values the development of the non-public sector of the economy and is supportive of them, which has not changed and will not change," he said. "We will create better conditions for the development of private businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises."
