"We are striving for establishing an all-round moderately prosperous society. No one should drop out, nor any ethnic groups should drop out."

During his inspection tour to Jilin province, the president visited Yanbian, home to China's largest Korean ethnic minority population.

Xi visited a small village in Yanbian, talking to farmers along the paddy field and dropping by the village community center and farmers' houses. Stressing the importance of food safety to the country, Xi promised to offer more support to farming areas so that the local economy will improve and farmers can increase their income through developing agriculture.
