Xi also visited the venue of the 1935 Zunyi Conference where Mao Zedong established his authority within the military.
After watching a video clip of a battle where the Red Army, led by the CPC, crossed the Chishui River four times in the fight against Kuomintang forces, Xi exclaimed "Chairman Mao was a true master of the art of war, and the battle is a textbook case of mobile warfare."
