Chinese nation is a family: Xi

XINING -- Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that not a single ethnic group should be left behind in the country's efforts to fully build a modern socialist China.

Xi made the remarks on Tuesday afternoon while visiting a village and talking with villagers in Shaliuhe township in Gangcha county, Haibei Tibetan autonomous prefecture, during his inspection tour of Northwest China's Qinghai province.

"We are a family, and we are all brothers and sisters," Xi told the villagers, calling on them to have confidence in a brighter future.
