Features: Among the 12 western provinces and regions, Xinjiang accounts for about one-third of the area. Its inland location, potential vast resources, and prominent fragile ecological environment make Xinjiang unique in the west. China's regional development strategy has shifted directly from the east to the west, and should the West Development initiative also start from Xinjiang, the westernmost part of the west? In terms of material resources, Xinjiang's abundant minerals, energy, land, and solar heat are sufficient to make it a resource hub in the west. In terms of human resources, over the 50 years since the founding of New China, talents from all over the country have gathered in Xinjiang amid the wave of supporting the frontier, giving it an edge over other western regions. With its borders adjacent to eight countries and facing Central and West Asia, as well as its multi-ethnic population, Xinjiang also shoulders the important task of ensuring national long-term stability, urgently needing a solid economic foundation to support it. This book covers a wide range of aspects and extensive content, citing a large amount of data. At the end of each chapter, we have listed the main references, but it is still difficult to include all those cited from newspapers and internal materials.
