[Photo/Xinhua] BEIJING - Xi Jinping on Thursday called on members of the Communist Party of China and people of all ethnic groups in the country to advance socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era. Xi made the remarks during a panel discussion with delegates from Guizhou province who are here to attend the CPC's 19th National Congress. Commending Guizhou's development over the past five years, Xi said socialism with Chinese characteristics has now entered a new era. He said this is a major political assessment as well as a strategic reflection that affects the whole landscape. The evolution of the principal contradiction facing Chinese society represents a historic shift that affects the whole landscape, Xi said, echoing a report he made at the opening session of the Party congress when he spoke of the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life. Xi told delegates from Guizhou that efforts must be made to address unbalanced and inadequate development and meet people's ever-growing needs for a better life. He went on to highlight strict Party governance, saying it is the fundamental guarantee for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Party organizations at different levels and all CPC members and officials must uphold the authority of the Central Committee and its centralized, unified leadership, he said. Xi also instructed authorities to organize education and training programs on the guiding principles of the 19th CPC National Congress after its conclusion. debossed wristbandpink wristbands bulkbatman wristband24 hour wristbandscustom made rubber bracelets
Visitors appreciate the exhibition. [Photo by Gu Jiani/chinadaily.com.cn] The latest exhibition at the Dalian Modern Museum in Dalian, Northeast China's Liaoning province, showcases more than 2,000 cigarette posters. The exhibit, unveiled on July 6, will run until August 15. Entrance to the exhibition is free. The exhibit was designed to showcase the range of posters used, and placed, on cigarette packets to lure in customers. During the first half of the 20th century, collecting cigarette packet posters had become as popular as collecting stamps and coins. At present, very few are left intact. The cigarette posters at the exhibit are from the collection of the Memorial Museum of Generalissimo Sun Yat-sen's Mansion in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province. The pictures feature literary classics, scenic spots and historical figures, as well as ordinary folk customs and science, affording a wide view in small confined spaces.
