"A well-off society will be incomplete if people in the old guerrilla base areas cannot shake off poverty."
Xi said during a meeting with Party chiefs of 24 counties and cities from Shaanxi and Gansu provinces and the Ningxia Hui autonomous region. Xi made a tour in Shaanxi on Feb 13 - 16, 2015.
Xi said he wanted to end poverty in old revolutionary base areas and improve local people's standard of living.
