During the trip, which started on Sunday, Xi traveled to seaport, industrial park, rural village and wetland park areas in Ningbo, Huzhou and Hangzhou to inspect prevention and control work on the novel coronavirus disease as well as the economic and social development.

While inspecting the Chuanshan port area of Ningbo-Zhoushan Port on Sunday, Xi said that the seaport's fast resumption of work has great significance for the restoration of the country's logistics chain and the global industrial chain.

He instructed port workers to make further efforts to respond to the restrictive measures taken by other countries on cargo transportation and promote the smooth operation of imports and exports.

In his talks with private company workers at an industrial park on Sunday, Xi said that the country's small and medium-size enterprises will definitely overcome the difficulties with the support of the Party and the government as well as society.

On Monday, while visiting the village of Yucun in Huzhou's Anji county, where he first put forward the development theory of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" 15 years ago, Xi said the development theory has now become the consensus and practice of the whole Party and society.
