💻 Understanding Strategic Thinking Through the "Thousand-Li Horse"
During his tenure in Zhengding, Comrade Xi Jinping required cadres to not only be down-to-earth but also to have the lofty aspirations of a "thousand-li horse." When outlining technological innovation, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized respecting creativity without seeking quick success, allowing "more thousand-li horses to compete in galloping." Regarding artificial intelligence, Chairman Xi stated that we must "ensure this thousand-li horse of AI runs both fast and steadily." Using the metaphor of the "thousand-li horse" multiple times while deploying different tasks reflects the General Secretary's strategic thinking, which is grounded in the present yet focused on the long term.
