(Focus Interview): Doing a good job in Xinjiang is a major event for the whole party and the country.

At every critical period of Xinjiang's development, the central government will hold Xinjiang work forums to comprehensively summarize the experience in Xinjiang and make new major decisions and deployments.

Up to now, the central government has convened three Xinjiang work forums. The first two meetings were held in 2010 and 2014.

After a lapse of six years, from September 25 to 26 this year, the third Central Xinjiang Work Forum was held in Beijing. Xi Jinping attended the meeting and delivered an important speech.

Let's take a look at the key issues discussed by the general secretary of this symposium and what new major decisions and deployments have been made.

  Although it was the peak tourist season, in the "Guli's Home" in the ancient city of Kashgar, Salametiguli and neighbors in the neighborhood put aside their work and watched the report of the third Central Xinjiang Work Forum together.

  Saramatiguli, a resident of the ancient city of Kashgar, said: “We waited in front of the TV early. After the second Central Xinjiang Work Symposium, we moved into the renovated new house. The income was getting higher and higher. The convening of the Central Xinjiang Work Forum has made us more confident and live a happy life in peace and contentment."

  In recent years, the old city of Kashgar, which has undergone protective transformation, has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Xinjiang.

In 2017, Saramatt Guli opened the first home-visited tourist spot in the old city, "Guli's Home", and quickly became an "net celebrity check-in place".

  Sarama Tiguli said: "Not only is my business good, neighbors around the world open small shops at home, and I can make about 200,000 yuan a year. Now our happy life cannot be separated from the good policies of the party and the government."

  Saramatiguli’s feelings about the changes in the life around him in recent years reflect the significant results achieved in Xinjiang since the second Central Xinjiang Work Forum.

At the third Central Xinjiang Work Symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping highly affirmed Xinjiang's work in the past six years. He used several sets of data to illustrate that Xinjiang's economic and social development and people's livelihood improvement in the past six years have achieved unprecedented achievements: 2014 to 2019 In 2015, the GDP of Xinjiang increased from 919.59 billion yuan to 135.71 billion yuan, an average annual growth of 7.2%.

The average annual per capita disposable income of Xinjiang residents increased by 9.1%.

As of 2019, a total of 2,923,200 people in Xinjiang have been lifted out of poverty, 3107 poor villages have been withdrawn, and 22 poor counties have been removed. The poverty incidence has fallen from 19.4% in 2014 to 1.24%.

Xinjiang has shown a good situation of social stability and people living and working in peace and contentment, laying a solid foundation for long-term stability.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has deepened its understanding and grasp of the laws governing Xinjiang and formed the Party's general strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era.

The biggest highlight of this symposium is that the General Secretary systematically explained the Party’s strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era as eight persistences: Persist in strategically reviewing and planning Xinjiang work, persisting in taking social stability and long-term stability as the general goal of Xinjiang’s work, and persisting in cohesion. The heart of the people is the foundation, adhere to forging the consciousness of the Chinese nation community, adhere to the direction of sinicization of my country’s religion, adhere to the promotion and cultivation of core socialist values, adhere to the people’s livelihood to promote high-quality development, and adhere to strengthen the party’s leadership over Xinjiang.

  At the symposium, Xi Jinping also elevated the "New Era Party's Strategy for Xinjiang" to the level of a political task for the whole party.

He emphasized that to do well in Xinjiang at present and in the future, we must fully and accurately implement the party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era.

Ensure that Xinjiang work always maintains the correct political direction.

  The strategy has been set, the goal is clear, and the next step is how to do it.

The general secretary summed it up in 20 words: governing Xinjiang according to law, uniting and stabilizing Xinjiang, culturally moistening Xinjiang, enriching the people and rejuvenating Xinjiang, and building Xinjiang for a long time.

It is worth noting that, in comparison with the second Central Xinjiang Work Symposium, this symposium has added two new guidelines: cultural invigoration and prosperity of the people.

The former is related to the minds of the people, and the latter is related to the development of people's livelihood. It can be regarded as two important new grasps for governing Xinjiang in the new era.

  Duan Liang, vice president and professor of the Party School of the Party Committee of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, said: “Cultural invigoration of Xinjiang and enrichment of the people have further captured the deep-seated and fundamental problems of social stability, long-term stability and stability in Xinjiang. Cultural invigoration of Xinjiang embodies culture, which is in the country. The soul role played in the process of national development has played a more basic, more confident, and more lasting power and role in culture. Enriching the people and rejuvenating Xinjiang fully reflects the Chinese Communist Party’s people-centered ruling philosophy. The development of all undertakings in Xinjiang ultimately requires Implement the people's yearning for a better life."

  The convening of the third Central Xinjiang Work Symposium aroused strong reactions among the cadres and masses of Xinjiang, and everyone watched relevant news reports.

The teachers of No. 2 Middle School in Hotan District learned the spirit of the symposium on the Internet for the first time and communicated it to all students in a timely manner.

  Miriban Abrajiang, a teacher of the Second Middle School of Hotan District, said: "The general secretary especially emphasized this time that the Chinese nation’s community awareness education must be rooted in the soul. As a teacher, we should educate good students to learn about the national community awareness. Allowing teachers and students to be nurtured by Chinese traditional culture can better promote the unity of all ethnic groups and promote exchanges, exchanges, and integration."

  To forge a sense of community of the Chinese nation is one of the eight adherences of the party's strategy of governing Xinjiang in the new era. It is an important aspect of uniting and stabilizing the territory and culturally moistening the territory.

How to cast a prison?

Xi Jinping emphasized the need to incorporate the awareness of the Chinese nation’s community awareness education into Xinjiang’s cadre education, youth education, and social education, and educate and guide the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups to establish a correct view of the country, history, nation, culture, and religion, so that the sense of community of the Chinese nation should be rooted. Deep in the heart.

It is necessary to promote extensive exchanges, comprehensive exchanges, and deep integration of all ethnic groups.

Tuanjie New Village in Hotan City is a new village built in the vast desert with the courage and wisdom of the government and the people. Today, more than 500 households of all ethnic groups live in the village, becoming a model of national unity.

Fan Xiaokun and Elken are well-known good neighbors in the village. The two families have helped each other and formed a deep friendship between them. Fan Xiaokun is good at growing vegetables and Elken is a good sheep-raiser. The two often help each other.

  The foundation of unity and stability is to unite people's hearts.

Since 2016, Xinjiang has creatively carried out ethnic unity, family affinity, ethnic unity and friendship activities. More than 1.1 million cadres and workers in the region have paired up with more than 1.6 million grassroots people of all ethnic groups. The flower of ethnic unity has blossomed throughout the Tianshan Mountains and cadres of all ethnic groups. The masses' awareness of the community of the Chinese nation has been continuously strengthened.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xinjiang has continued to carry out the work of “petitioning people’s sentiments, benefiting the people’s livelihood, and gathering people’s hearts” in villages. The people of the ethnic group solve problems and do practical things.

Kanteyike Village, Buzhake Township, Hotan County, used to be a national-level poor village with a per capita annual income of less than 2,000 yuan. It was with the help of the "Visit Huiju" team in the village. Vigorously develop the goose industry, and poor households have invested in cooperatives one after another, embarking on a happy road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

Xinjiang’s poverty alleviation and employment promotion have always been two major issues that the General Secretary is concerned about. At this symposium, the general secretary emphasized the need to persevere in poverty alleviation and employment promotion.

  Wang Jun, First Secretary of the "Visit Huiju" Task Force of the Audit Office of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Yuhe Village, Tusala Town, Hotan City, said: "In the next step, we will continue to pay close attention to the transfer of rural surplus labor, and establish and improve employment training and employment supervision. Various mechanisms such as those have allowed more farmers to go out of their homes, cities, and factories, and continue to consolidate the effectiveness of poverty alleviation through employment, so that the people's lives will become better and better."

  The next development of Xinjiang is also an important aspect of the general secretary’s plan. Xi Jinping pointed out that development is an important foundation for Xinjiang’s long-term stability.

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, incorporate Xinjiang’s own regional opening strategy into the overall layout of the country’s westward opening, enrich the carriers of opening up, improve the level of opening up, and innovate and open up. The economic system is to create highlands that are open inland and open to borders.

It is necessary to promote efficiency enhancement, transformation and upgrading of the industrial base, cultivate and expand Xinjiang's characteristic advantageous industries, and drive local people to increase their incomes and become rich.

  To fully and accurately implement the party's strategy of governing Xinjiang in the new era, it is inseparable from a team of cadres who have a solid theoretical foundation, a good grasp of policies, and strong practical capabilities.

At the symposium, the general secretary emphasized the need to increase training and training, especially the construction of high-quality minority cadres.

Encourage cadres at all levels to take root and contribute to the frontier in the new era.

  In recent years, Xinjiang has shown a good situation of social stability and people living and working in peace and contentment, laying a solid foundation for long-term stability.

Implementing the party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era is a political task proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping to the entire party.

Among them, uniting people's hearts is the fundamental, forging a sense of community of the Chinese nation is the main thread, and development is an important foundation for Xinjiang's long-term stability.

Completely and accurately implement this strategy, governing Xinjiang according to law, uniting and stabilizing the territory, culturally moistening the territory, enriching the people and rejuvenating the territory, and building the territory for a long time, taking the modernization of the governance system and governance capabilities as the guarantee, seeking long-term strategies and consolidating the foundation. For example, Xinjiang will become more beautiful, harmonious and wealthy, and the lives of more than 25 million children of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang will become better and better.
