President Xi Jinping stressed developing new quality productive forces according to local conditions while participating in a deliberation with fellow lawmakers from Jiangsu province on March 5 during the second session of the 14th National People's Congress, China's national legislature.
"Developing new quality productive forces does not mean neglecting or abandoning traditional industries," Xi said. "It is necessary to prevent a headlong rush into projects and the formation of industry bubbles, and avoid adopting just a single model of development."
During the two sessions in the past years, Xi has mentioned many key words which pointed to the country's development path, capturing the attention of various industries and sparking widespread discussions.
Let's get insights into some of them.
