CHINA-LEADERSHIP: XI JINPING VISITS NINGBO
On March 29, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Ningbo port in Zhejiang province – one of the world’s busiest ports and a trade hub for eastern China. This was Xi Jinping's first outside Beijing since he visited Wuhan earlier in the month. According to Xinhua, Xi Jinping visited the Chuanshan port area of the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, one of the world's top container ports. He also went to an industrial park in Ningbo, which produces high-end auto parts and moulds. Xinhua said Xi Jinping's visit sent ‘a clear message’ that China was resuming its industrial production and social activities, and described the fight against the coronavirus as the ‘new normal.’
