Xi stresses poverty eradication goal


On Wednesday, Xi visited an exhibition at a museum in Xi'an Jiaotong University on the relocation of Jiaotong University from Shanghai to Xi'an and its development and achievements. He met with 14 professors who had been relocated along with the university decades ago.
"I was deeply moved by your letter, it struck a chord with me," Xi said, speaking of a letter sent to him two years ago by professors at Xi'an Jiaotong University.
He praised the professors for making personal sacrifices in the interests of the country by moving with the university from Shanghai to Xi'an.
He encouraged teachers and students at the university to remain true to their original aspirations, continue to draw inspiration from the relocation, pursue their careers where the country's needs are greatest, and pass on the "westward relocation spirit" from generation to generation.
While visiting Shaanxi Automobile Holding Group, a State-owned manufacturing enterprise, on Wednesday, Xi spoke highly of the company's work during the coronavirus outbreak and hailed the great importance of SOEs in the resumption of work and production.
"Your work during this period has not been affected by the epidemic and, most importantly, has reached the highest level of car manufacturing of all time. This should be praised," he said.
