Xing Huina:
Friends from the media, good morning. Welcome to this press conference held by the State Council Information Office (SCIO). Today, the SCIO published a white paper titled "Youth of China in the New Era," and organized this press conference to introduce and interpret its main content.
The white paper fully implements Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, reviews Chinese youth's continuous struggle for national rejuvenation over the past 100 years under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and presents the efforts being made by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core for the development of young people since the 18th CPC National Congress. It introduces China's policies and measures to promote youth development and showcases the achievements in this regard and young people's spirit in the new era. The document also calls for young people around the world to join hands and build a community with a shared future for mankind, and contribute their wisdom and strength to create a better world.
At around 18,000 Chinese characters, the white paper consists of foreword, main body and conclusion. The main body is divided into four parts: "The New Era: Great Times with Ample Opportunities," "All-Round Development in the New Era," "Shouldering Heavy Tasks and Responsibilities" and "Having a Global Vision and a Strong Sense of Responsibility."
The white paper is published in eight languages — Chinese, English, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Arabic and Japanese — by the People's Publishing House and the Foreign Languages Press. It is available at Xinhua Bookstore outlets across the country.
To help you better understand the white paper, we have invited Mr. He Junke, convener of the ministerial-level joint meeting for implementation of the Medium- and Long-Term Youth Development Plan and first secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China (CYLC), and Mr. Fu Zhenbang, director of the executive office of the ministerial-level joint meeting for implementation of the Medium- and Long-Term Youth Development Plan and secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the CYLC. They will brief you on relevant information and then take your questions.
Now, I'll give the floor to Mr. He Junke
