微视频｜奋进开新局 实干挑大梁
A short video produced by Xinhua News Agency calls on China's major economic provinces to take on a leading role in driving national development. The video cites instructions from General Secretary Xi Jinping during the 2025 'Two Sessions,' where he emphasized that these provinces must 'shoulder the beam' (挑大梁) and focus on studying new situations and solving new problems. It frames their actions as crucial for serving the national interest and solidifying the foundation for long-term economic growth.
The view from inside
The piece is framed as a motivational directive, using the metaphor 'shoulder the beam' (挑大梁, tiāo dà liáng) to describe the duty of economically powerful provinces to act as load-bearing pillars for the nation.
