Chinese President Xi Jinping just wrapped up the 70th anniversary celebrations of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and flew back to Beijing on Thursday. ✈️🎉
In Urumqi, the regional capital, people of all ethnic backgrounds turned the streets into a sea of red flags—complete with vibrant dance performances that felt more like a city-wide festival than a political send-off. 🇨🇳❤️
But the party isn’t over! A central delegation led by Wang Huning will stick around until Sunday, touring towns, meeting locals, and sharing greetings from the top leadership. The aim? Highlight the mix of cultures and the region’s role in the Chinese mainland’s development story. 🌏🤝
Meanwhile, senior official Cai Qi was among the entourage on the same flight back to the capital. This milestone shines a light on Xinjiang’s evolving social and economic scene, reminding us how unity and diversity go hand in hand. 🚀
