President: Strive for high-tech self-reliance

Xi reviewed the renovation work as he toured an exhibition displaying how the high-rise buildings replaced shabby homes.

He also endorsed the local Party organization's work in serving the public. As the country seeks to boost grassroots-level governance and better serve the public, the key is to boost the leading role of community-level Party organizations, Xi said.

The aim is to fully meet the public's needs in such areas as nurseries, education, health and senior care, he added.
