At 4 p.m., Xi Jinping walked into the Huairen Hall of Zhongnanhai. The two census takers in charge of registration said hello to the general secretary. The census took the electronic registration method. Xi Jinping answered the census questions' answers one by one according to census registration requirements, and census takers input information into the tablet computer.

After the completion of the registration, Xi Jinping informed the two census workers about the registration work of the national census. The census taker made a brief report to the general secretary. Xi Jinping extended sincere greetings to two census takers to about 7000000 census workers who were fighting in the first line of investigation.
Xi Jinping stressed that population work and census are very important. China is the most populous country in the world, and the population problem is always a global and strategic issue. The census takes place every 10 years. This year marks the 71st anniversary of the birth of new China, and the census is also the seventh. The previous six censuses have obtained a large number of detailed demographic data, which has played an important role in the formulation of economic and social development policies and population policies by the party and the state. The seventh national census is an important survey of national conditions and national strength in the new era. It is also a major event in the work of the party and the state.
Xi Jinping pointed out that in recent years, there have been some notable changes in population development in China, facing both the pressures of population and the challenges posed by demographic changes. Through this census, we should find out the population quantity, structure, distribution and other aspects of China, grasp the trend characteristics of population change, and provide accurate statistical information support for improving population development strategy and policy system, formulating economic and social development plan, and promoting high-quality economic development.
Xi Jinping stressed that under the condition of normalization of epidemic prevention and control, it is necessary for census workers to make more efforts to do a good job in census work, which requires more understanding and support from the whole society. Since November 1, more than 7 million census takers across the country have started to register one by one. All of them should abide by the requirements of normalized epidemic prevention, open the door to welcome visitors, support and cooperate with the census work, truthfully report the census contents, and fulfill their responsibilities and obligations according to law. Census institutions and census personnel at all levels should adhere to the scientific and legal census, do a more scientific, more accurate and more rigorous work, and complete the census task with high quality.
Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji, Han Zheng, Wang Qishan and others participated in the census registration in Zhongnanhai.
China's census is carried out every 10 years. The seventh national census will be registered from November 1 to December 10, 2020, and the main data of the census will be released in April 2021.
