BEIJING, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — Industries are the main driving force behind rural modernization in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, a report said Thursday.

Industries are crucial for optimizing resource allocation and shaping the structure and form of villages in Xizang. By the end of 2019, 628,000 people in poverty in the SAR had been lifted out of poverty, according to a report titled "Harmony Between Tradition and Modernity: Rural Development and Cultural Heritage in China's Xizang."

In recent years, Xizang has adapted its development strategies to local conditions, leveraging its unique resource advantages to vigorously develop agriculture and livestock farming on the plateau, according to a report jointly published by the China Foundation for Human Rights Development and the Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with the Xinhua News Agency.

In 2024 alone, the Xizang administration allocated 12.39 billion yuan (approximately $1.75 billion), prioritizing the development of industries that connect, support, and enrich farmers and herders. These measures have accelerated the transformation and modernization of rural industries, increasing local incomes.

According to the report, in 2024, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in Xizang reached 21,578 yuan, exceeding the 20,000 yuan threshold for the first time, an increase of 8.3 percent over the previous year, the fastest growth rate in the country.

In the 60 years since the founding of the SAR in 1965, Xizang has made significant economic and social progress, and together with other regions of the country, has achieved the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and embarked on a new campaign to comprehensively build a modernized socialist country. -0-
