Beijing, September 19 (Xinhua) — Northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) has consciously integrated its regional opening-up strategy into the country's overall plan for opening up to the West. This was stated in 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."
Xinjiang aims to carve a "golden path" across the Eurasian continent and create a channel for openness to the West, the document says.
According to the White Paper, Xinjiang has successfully established broad channels for opening up to the outside world. Nineteen checkpoints have been opened, including the Khunjerab checkpoint, which is now open year-round.
In 2024, 16,400 freight trains passed through Xinjiang on international China-Europe rail routes. This means the number of such trains passing through Xinjiang annually has exceeded 10,000 for five consecutive years, according to the white paper.
The number of countries and regions that are Xinjiang's trade and economic partners has also increased significantly, from a small number in the 1950s to 196 in 2012, and rose to 211 in 2024, according to the document.
The platform for openness is constantly being improved. In October 2023, the establishment of the China Xinjiang Pilot Free Trade Zone was approved, with over 9,000 enterprises relocating there over the following year. The combined import and export volume of these companies accounted for over 30 percent of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's total foreign trade.
