China: Xi Jinping asks ethnic groups to ‘stick together like pomegranate seeds’
Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on people from Inner Mongolia to 'stick together like pomegranate seeds' as he stated that unity is the “lifeline” for all ethnic groups in the country.
President Xi Jinping made the comment while interacting with Inner Mongolian deputies at the country’s annual legislative session.
Speaking on Saturday, Xi said unity was necessary to build the country, and that the northern autonomous region had a responsibility to maintain the stability of the country’s border, according to official news agency Xinhua as quoted by The South China Morning Post.
As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to capture the world’s attention, China’s leaders are looking inward during the National People’s Congress in Beijing, with a heavy focus on national unity and loyalty to the ruling Communist Party – and Xi, the newspaper said.
