First observation | Why do we say that doing a good job in Xinjiang is a major event for the whole party and the country?
After a lapse of 6 years, the Central Committee held the third Xinjiang Work Forum.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the meeting that "doing a good job in Xinjiang is a major event for the whole party and the country."
I remember that when he visited Xinjiang in 2014, the general secretary pointed out that “Xinjiang work has a particularly important strategic position in the overall work of the party and the country”.
"It is a major event for the whole party and the country" and "has a special and important strategic position", which shows that the development and stability of Xinjiang is related to the overall situation of reform, development and stability of the country, the reunification of the motherland, national unity, national security, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
From September 25 to 26, the third Central Xinjiang Work Forum was held in Beijing.

At the Second Xinjiang Work Forum held in 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping first proposed that social stability and long-term stability are the overall goals of Xinjiang's work, and demanded to adhere to "ruling Xinjiang according to law, uniting and stabilizing Xinjiang, and building Xinjiang for a long time."
Careful people can easily find that this symposium has expanded the relevant requirements to "rule Xinjiang according to law, unity and stabilize the territory, culturally replenish the territory, enrich the people and rejuvenate the territory, and build the territory for a long time." Xinjiang".
Culture is the blood of a nation and the spiritual home of the people.
Cultural self-confidence is a more basic, deeper and more lasting force.
Regarding the "cultural invigoration of Xinjiang", General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "it is necessary to do a good job in the ideological field and carry out the cultural invigoration project in depth."
Development is the key to solving all problems and an important foundation for the long-term stability of Xinjiang.
"Enriching the people and rejuvenating Xinjiang" contains the solemn commitment of the Party Central Committee to the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to lead a better life.
Standing at the historical intersection of the "two centenary" goals, Xinjiang's work is also facing new situations and tasks.
Increasing the requirements of “culturally invigorating Xinjiang” and “enriching the people and rejuvenating Xinjiang” is a concrete manifestation of the long-term strategy and the multi-strength work of Xinjiang.
Xinjiang is determined to be the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt. The central government has supported Xinjiang in total from 2014 to 2019 for more than 2 trillion yuan. The 19 Xinjiang aid provinces and cities across the country have invested nearly 100 billion yuan in aid to Xinjiang (including the Corps). More than 10,000 Xinjiang aid projects have been implemented...In recent years, the central government’s support and national counterpart aid to Xinjiang have been continuously increasing.
At the same time, the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang united their efforts to work together and made great progress in economic and social development.
From 2014 to 2019, Xinjiang’s GDP grew at an average annual rate of 7.2%, and the per capita disposable income of residents increased at an average annual rate of 9.1%. All prefectures and cities have entered the era of highways, and nearly 3 million people have been lifted out of poverty.
At this symposium, when General Secretary Xi Jinping summarized the achievements of Xinjiang’s economic and social development in the six years since the last Xinjiang Work Symposium, he emphasized four aspects, namely, continued improvement in economic development, marked improvement in people’s lives, and decisive achievements in poverty alleviation, The central government’s support and the nation’s counterpart assistance to Xinjiang continue to increase.
At the same time, it further pointed out the direction for the economic and social development of Xinjiang——
"It is necessary to give full play to Xinjiang's location advantages, drive the construction of the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, and incorporate Xinjiang's own regional opening strategy into the overall layout of the country's westward opening up";
"It is necessary to promote the enhancement of industrial base efficiency, transformation and upgrading, cultivate and expand Xinjiang's characteristic advantageous industries, and drive local people to increase their income and become rich";
"Scientific planning and construction are necessary to comprehensively improve the quality of urbanization";
...
More importantly, General Secretary Xi Jinping particularly emphasized the importance of “good ecology” and required “adhere to the concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, resolutely maintain the red line of ecological protection, and coordinate the development of sand control and water control and forest and grassland protection work, so that The sky is bluer, the mountains are greener, and the water is clearer in Xinjiang."

It is not difficult to see that the Party Central Committee is looking at the "major events of the whole party and the country" and also the "general trend", planning and advancing the construction of socialist Xinjiang with Chinese characteristics in a new era in a larger pattern.
The larger pattern is also reflected in the opening up.
When the General Secretary visited Xinjiang in 2014, he once said something like this:
"If the Silk Road Economic Belt is built, Xinjiang will likely become a prosperous center. Let alone, Urumqi is now the largest city with a radius of 1,500 kilometers. What will it be like by then?"
It is foreseeable that when Xinjiang integrates into the overall layout of the country’s westward opening up and becomes a highland of inland opening and border opening, it will release huge development potential and move towards a new era of unity and harmony, prosperity and prosperity, civilization and progress, living and working in peace, and a sound ecology. The socialist Xinjiang with Chinese characteristics is constantly advancing.
In fact, work in Xinjiang concerns the overall situation of the country, not just a matter of Xinjiang.
The Xinjiang Work Symposium is not only to deploy work in Xinjiang, but also to assign tasks to various regions and departments.
This can be clearly seen from the people attending this symposium-
In addition to the responsible comrades of the Party and government at all levels in the autonomous region and the Corps, other provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country, relevant departments of the central and state agencies, relevant people's organizations, financial institutions, central enterprises, and relevant military units all have relevant responsible comrades present.
As long as the party's strategy of governing Xinjiang in the new era is fully and accurately implemented, the great Xinjiang will have a bright future!
