Xinjiang is about to pass 2020. Looking back, it can be seen that with the continuous improvement of the central government’s strategy to rule Xinjiang in the new era, steady development throughout the year has helped Xinjiang cope with different challenges calmly.
In September this year, the third Xinjiang Central Labor Symposium was held in Beijing. Secretary General Xi Jinping introduced the “Eight Persistances” and emphasized the need to fully and precisely implement the CCP’s strategy of ruling Xinjiang in the new era. Rule Xinjiang, unite and stabilize the territory, culturally moisten the territory, enrich the people and prosper the territory, and build the territory for a long time.
Xu Jianying, a researcher at the China Institute of Border Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, discussed in an interview with a reporter from the China News Agency that this is a major policy-oriented symposium held at a key point, and affirmed the current strategy to rule Xinjiang in the next five years. Develop achievements, add experiences, plan for the future, and demonstrate continuous improvement of Xinjiang’s strategy.
Under the guidance of the central government’s strategy to rule Xinjiang in the new era, Xinjiang has become calmer in the face of challenges such as defamation and stigmatization of some anti-China American and Western politicians and academics, and the new pneumonia epidemic. of the crown. Development achievements by people of all ethnic groups influence that “deeds speak louder than words”.

Manage Xinjiang in accordance with the law to ensure long-term stability.
“Governing the country depends on rules and Anbang is based on criteria.” The central government governs Xinjiang in accordance with the law and promotes the modernization of Xinjiang’s governance system and governance capabilities in the path of the rule of law, so that the spirit of the rule of law is deeply embedded in the heart of the people to ensure the long-term stability of the general situation in Xinjiang.
This year, construction of the legal system continued to advance in Xinjiang. The Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of the Autonomous Region deliberated and approved 8 local regulations of the autonomous region; reviewed and approved 20 local regulations and separate regulations; established the first 9 primary level legislative contact points; hired 20 legislative consultants, Provide professional and intellectual support for the formulation of local regulations.
In Xinjiang, under the protection of the rule of law, social security has continued to improve. As of September this year, Xinjiang has had no violent terrorist incidents (incidents) for three years and nine consecutive months. Violent terrorist activities have been effectively stopped, de-radicalization has achieved remarkable results, and people of all ethnic groups live and work in peace and satisfaction. A stable social environment has created favorable conditions for development.
Solidarity and solid foundations for development
In Xinjiang, where many ethnic groups live, ethnic unity has always been the fundamental interest of people of all ethnic groups. Secretary-General Xi Jinping once said that all ethnic groups should “embrace each other like pomegranate seeds,” “value national unity as their own eyes and value national unity as their own lives.”
This is not only a vivid summary of the importance of national unity, but also a specific practice of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang during the past year. From helping each other in life and work to observing and helping each other through difficulties, people of all ethnic groups are connected and close, which makes Xinjiang develop steadily.
Earlier this year, Wuhan faced the challenge of the epidemic.

The video became popular on social media and the spirit of unity in the face of the epidemic spread to people across the country.

Cultural development promotes the unity of people
Xu Jianying’s interpretation pointed out that, compared with the last Xinjiang Central Labor Symposium, cultural rejuvenation is a new concept proposed this time. Its aim is to promote the popularization of excellent traditional Chinese culture, build a sense of community in the Chinese nation, bring people together and identify with the culture. Resist extreme ideas and ensure stability in Xinjiang.
In Xinjiang, the power of culture “drenches” development like a shower. Last year, the Xinjiang landscape song and dance party theme “Xinjiang is a good place” successfully auditioned, Xinjiang’s intangible cultural heritage, such as the Twelve Muqam, was protected and disseminated, and archaeological work advanced in order …
In addition, Xinjiang continued to implement the strategy of promoting Xinjiang through tourism and focused on cultivating distinctive tourism brands with remarkable results. During the National Day holiday, Xinjiang received 15,354,300 domestic tourists. At the end of November, with the addition of 19 level 4A national scenic spots in Xinjiang, the number of level 4A scenic spots in Xinjiang surpassed 100, and the number of level A national tourist attractions reached 440.
Enriching the people and rejuvenating Xinjiang
Facing the severe challenges of the new corona epidemic, Xinjiang has constantly promoted economic development and improved people’s livelihoods while ensuring people’s health and safety.
Under the premise of strict prevention and control of the epidemic, Xinjiang has restored the order of production and life in an orderly manner and achieved “regular” economic growth. Statistics show that in the first three quarters of 2020, the gross domestic product in Xinjiang was 981.994 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.2%.
Marked by poverty alleviation work, Xinjiang people’s livelihood has improved significantly and people’s sense of gain has increased. In November, when the last 10 counties that had not escaped poverty exited the sequence of poverty-stricken counties, Xinjiang, which had long been plagued by poverty due to natural and historical factors, had a historic solution to the problem. of absolute poverty.
Long-term construction of Xinjiang to increase development momentum
This year, focusing on the three main strategies of building the central area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, revitalizing rural areas and rejuvenating Xinjiang, Xinjiang has overcome the impact of the new corona epidemic and steadily promoted various investment projects, boosting the long-term development of Xinjiang. From January to November, investment in key projects in the autonomous region completed 94.3% of the annual plan, an increase of 5.48 percentage points year-on-year, involving transportation, water conservation, energy, industry, livelihoods of people and other fields.
Looking back on Xinjiang in 2020, Xu Jianying said that this is a year of high-quality development under the premise of ensuring stability. The driving force of development comes from the continuous improvement of the new era of Xinjiang governing central government, but also from the joint efforts of people of all ethnic groups. These factors are believed to also help Xinjiang continue to face different challenges in the future. (End up)
