Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (“Xinjiang” for short) is the largest province-level administrative region in northwest China, covering an area of one-sixth of the country’s land. It is also the Chinese province with the longest land border of more than 5,600 kilometers – a quarter of the country’s entire land border.
Bordering eight countries – Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Mongolia, India, and Afghanistan – the unique geographic position of Xinjiang makes it a key gateway for China to Central Asia, West Asia, and Europe along the Silk Road Economic Belt.
