Bonus episode: “Reform always responds to what the people call for”

In December 2012, Xi Jinping visited Guangdong in his first inspection trip outside Beijing, after he was elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, sending a clear message that China will continue to push forward reform and opening-up. In the next tens years and more, China rolled out more than 2,000 reform plans under Xi’s leadership, many of them directly related to people’s livelihood.
