NINGBO, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Hu Chunhua, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, has called for strengthening rural governance and consolidating the basis for rural vitalization.
Hu, also chief of the central rural work leading group, made the remarks when addressing a recent national meeting on strengthening rural governance system construction, which was held in Ningbo, east China's Zhejiang Province.
