Xi Focus: Building a beautiful China

BEIJING - President Xi Jinping once used the phrase "blue skies, green lands and clear waters" to describe the human-nature harmony of Chinese modernization. The image his words bring to mind is highly relevant on Saturday, the 54th Earth Day.

Under the leadership of Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, China has over the past decade acted on the belief that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, pursued a comprehensive green transition in economic and social development, and endeavored to bring Xi's harmonious image to life.
