Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted ethnic unity during his inspection of northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region on Wednesday.

Visiting a multiethnic residential community in the region’s capital city, Yinchuan, Xi was pleased to see the residents living harmoniously and happily together.

“Ethnic unity is very important,” Xi said. “The 56 ethnic groups unite together to forge the community of the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation is a big family.”

Xi also called for concerted efforts to advance Chinese modernization and realize national rejuvenation.

At a service center in a community in Jinfeng District, Xi learned how community services are provided to facilitate people’s daily life and cultural activities. He also talked with community workers and residents.

Underscoring the key role of communities in serving residents, Xi stressed strengthening primary-level Party organizations and maintaining a stable team of warmhearted community workers.

He said communities should continue to sum up experience and explore new methods to render better services to residents.
