Hey fam, checking in from the Xinjiang region! On September 19, 2025, the State Council Information Office released a CPC white paper highlighting Xinjiang's journey to stability, growth and unity 🙌. Here are the key takeaways:
1. Historic Stability Boost 🌟
Since the 18th National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core made security a top priority. Efforts to tackle terrorism, separatism and extremism have paid off: public satisfaction with safety jumped from 87.6% in 2012 to over 99% since 2020, and Xinjiang welcomed 300 million tourists in 2024.
2. Xinjiang Speed in Economic Growth 🚀
Rich in resources like oil, gas, coal, grain, cotton and fresh produce, Xinjiang plays a key role in national food and energy security. Grain output rose for seven straight years, cotton lead the nation for 30 years, and new energy capacity topped 130 million kW. In 2024, GDP crossed 2 trillion yuan, growing at an average 7.04% annually since 2012.
3. Building Ethnic Unity 🤝
The region has strengthened bonds among its diverse communities by promoting shared values and religious harmony. Policies guiding religions to adapt to a socialist society have fostered respect and interaction among different groups, making Xinjiang a true example of unity in diversity.
Xinjiang's transformation shows how targeted policies, community engagement and resource advantages can create lasting change. Whether you're a student, professional or travel enthusiast, there's a lot to learn from this 'New Era' story!
