Beijing, September 19 (Xinhua) — Infrastructure improvements have been comprehensive across the board in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, according to a white paper published Friday by the State Council Information Office, titled "The CPC's Strategy for Governing Xinjiang in the New Era: Practices and Achievements."
In order to optimize the location, structure, functions and system integration of infrastructure, the region carried out overall planning for the construction of 10 networks, including railways, highways, aviation, energy, natural gas, logistics and computing, the White Paper says.
According to the document, the operational length of Xinjiang's railways as of 2024 was 9,202 km, up from 4,914 km in 2012. The region's railway network covers all prefectures and over 80 percent of counties.
The Xinjiang Autonomous Region's highway network also expanded from 165,900 km in 2012 to 230,000 km in 2024, covering all prefectures and over 90% of counties.
There are currently 595 civil aviation routes in Xinjiang, 25 of which are international and connect 17 countries and regions. A network of routes covering all of Xinjiang has now been largely established.
Furthermore, according to the document, an information highway is being developed, with the current length of fiber-optic cables amounting to 1.78 million kilometers. All cities are connected by 5G networks, and villages by broadband internet.
