The Chinese dream meant for him the “great renewal of the Chinese nation.” The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation “is a dream of the whole nation, as well as of every individual”, he said.

Xi said that young people should “dare to dream, work assiduously to fulfill the dreams and contribute to the revitalization of the nation.” There are various connotations and interpretations of the term.
