As Song Zhouying, a research fellow at the Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, noted in an interview with a Zhongxin News Agency correspondent, amid the changing geopolitical situation and the advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region has made a significant transition from a border zone to a center of regional cooperation, becoming a hub, a driver of economic interaction, a humanitarian bridge, and a strategic stronghold in relations between China and Central Asia.
Xinjiang has become a "golden corridor" and a comprehensive hub for connecting China and Central Asia.
As key points on the western route of China-Europe (China-Central Asia) freight trains, the ports of Alashankou and Khorgos handle more than half of the country's transit trains.
Roads, railways, air transport, pipelines and communications networks together form a single cross-border multimodal transport system with Central Asia.
The establishment of the pilot free trade zone has enabled pilot projects to be implemented in areas such as the harmonization of rules and standards, cross-border data exchange, and financial innovation, thereby enhancing the promotion of cross-border cooperation between China and Central Asia.
Xinjiang has become a regional hub for economic and trade cooperation between China and Central Asia.
The range of trade goods has expanded from traditional everyday consumer goods to mechanical and electrical products, equipment for new energy and high-tech products.
New forms of business, such as cross-border e-commerce, overseas warehousing, and bonded imports, are rapidly developing. More and more Chinese companies are choosing Xinjiang as a base for investment and business in Central Asia.
As a key hub of the China-Central Asia gas pipeline, Xinjiang also serves as an important hub for energy and environmental cooperation between China and Central Asia.
By ensuring the security and stability of regional energy supplies and demand, cooperation with Central Asia in green energy sectors such as wind power and photovoltaics is being strengthened, and a green and low-carbon transition is being promoted. A closer community of shared destiny between China and Central Asia is being built.
