Xi Jinping Extends New Year 2026 Greetings, Pledges Advancement in Technology and National Defense

Chinese President Xi Jinping extended New Year 2026 greetings, affirming that all goals of the previous economic development plan have been fully achieved and pledging to continue advancing the country's development further.

On Wednesday, 31 Dec 2025 GMT+7, President Xi Jinping delivered a New Year speech to the Chinese people, stating that China had met the objectives of the 14th Five-Year Socioeconomic Development Plan (2021-2025) and made tangible progress on a new journey toward Chinese-style modernization. Economic strength, scientific and technological capacity, national defense potential, and overall national resilience have all reached new heights.

Xi Jinping said 2025 marks the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan and a year full of unforgettable memories. China commemorated the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as setting a day to remember Taiwan's reunification. These efforts are harnessing great momentum for the grand national rejuvenation.

Xi Jinping emphasized China's focus on promoting high-quality development through innovation, transforming itself into one of the fastest-growing countries in innovation capacity. Meanwhile, the Chinese people cultivate spiritual sustenance through cultural development, sparking increased public interest in cultural artifacts, museums, and intangible cultural heritage. Chinese culture is flourishing more than ever.

Xi Jinping stated that the Chinese people work together to build and enjoy better lives. He added that no matter how small an issue affecting the people, it is cared for attentively—like every leaf and branch in the garden of well-being. When every household enjoys a happy daily life, the nation, like one big family, becomes stronger.
