He led the delegation on a visit to the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Reclamation Museum, which shows China's revolutionary undertaking of building the city of Shihezi and reclaiming land for farming in what was once a sparsely-populated desert. At the museum, He, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, pointed out that people must carry forward the Corps' spirit, understand the connotations of the times, put resources related to the Party's heritage to great use, and pass down revolutionary traditions.
He said that the Corps should draw motivation from its own seven-decade history, and encourage officials and workers to stay dedicated to working and serving in Xinjiang, and make new and greater contributions.
At Xinjiang Tianye (Group), a state-owned enterprise which is affiliated to the XPCC, He listened to reports on the company's technological innovation and new industrialization development.
