China s centrally administered state-owned enterprises (SOEs) plan to invest in 133 projects in Northwest China s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from 2024 to 2026, with a total investment of nearly 700 billion yuan ($97.55 billion), China Media Group reported on Tuesday.
Editor’s Note:
On February 28, 2012, Tursun Talip, a resident in Yecheng county, Kashi Prefecture, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, lost his son Turghunjan, an auxiliary police officer who was hacked to death by nine terrorists, alongside another 12 killed and 16 injured. Tursun rushed to the scene and collapsed on the weeping bitterly in front of his son’s pool of blood. “All I had in my mind was my son being hacked to death. I could even hear him crying out for me.”
A beautiful, peaceful and prosperous Xinjiang is the shared aspiration of the entire Chinese nation and the well-being of the diverse ethnic groups in Xinjiang. Those who smear and demonize Xinjiang are engaging in actions that have similar effect with terrorist activities, aiming to disrupt Xinjiang s safety, stability, and prosperity, which is destined to be futile.
Including the Paleolithic Tongtiandong site in Northwest China s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, nearly 80 archaeological projects were impressively executed in Xinjiang between 2019 and 2023.
“We couldn’t believe our eyes when, on TV, we saw that the group photo President Xi Jinping took with us in our village was sitting right behind him as he delivered this year’s New Year greetings. We were deeply touched by the president’s love and care for Xinjiang region, and for his people,” Kelibinur Yasen told the Global Times. “Now you can find this photo hanging on the walls of each of our households, because it has warmed our hearts, and given us courage and confidence.”
