Since the autonomous region's establishment in 1955, when its gross regional product (GRP) stood at just 1.231 billion yuan, it has surpassed 2 trillion yuan by 2024. From recovery from devastation to prosperity across all sectors, from poverty and backwardness to deepening modernization, from remoteness and isolation to the vanguard of openness… Today's Xinjiang displays unity and harmony, prosperity and wealth, civilization and progress, peaceful life and a healthy environment, creating a beautiful painting of dynamic development and vitality. This is the result of the firm leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the selfless support of the people across the country, and the united efforts of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang.

In 1997, the first groups of workers sent to support Xinjiang arrived at the foot of Mount Tianshan. Over the past nearly 30 years, successive construction teams have brought technology, ideas, and enthusiasm, imprinting their devotion and faith on this welcoming and inspiring land. Together with the peoples of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, they have diligently contributed wisdom and strength to the region's socioeconomic development.

Targeted support for Xinjiang is a strategic step aimed at ensuring social stability and long-term prosperity in the region. In recent years, funding for such support for Xinjiang has steadily increased, clear personnel coordination has been established, and industrial cooperation has deepened. This not only addresses Xinjiang's infrastructure shortcomings but also catalyzes endogenous development, contributing to the continued improvement of the well-being of all peoples in Xinjiang.

Numerous ethnic groups live on both sides of Mount Tianshan, so ethnic unity serves as the cornerstone of Xinjiang's development and progress, as well as a source of happiness for all peoples, integrating them into everyday "common life." Here, through long-standing interaction, collaboration, and intermingling, various peoples have formed a strong friendship cemented by blood ties, celebrated a glorious historical journey, and jointly created a magnificent Chinese culture and a beautiful homeland.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Looking to the future, through the grandiose efforts on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains and along the great road of China's modernization, the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era is poised to continue demonstrating its strength and continually enriching and developing.

Beijing, September 25 (Xinhua) — The Pinggu district in the eastern part of the Chinese capital is renowned for its high-quality peaches. However, consumers delighted by the sweetness and juiciness of the fruit grown in the village of Xiying in the district may not realize that every bite bears the mark of a quiet technological revolution.

At the modern fruit farm "Siying," small weather stations accurately monitor environmental changes. The main stages of the production process, from plowing to harvesting, are fully mechanized. Robots and drones are regularly used to water the trees, apply fertilizer, and spray foliar nutrients.

The peach industry in Pinggu District accounts for nearly half of Beijing's total fruit production. However, Yu Yongqiang, director of the district's fruit service center, acknowledges that the industry faces challenges in its sustainable development, including limitations in large-scale cultivation and labor shortages due to the aging of the current workforce.

“Large-scale implementation of smart agricultural equipment like the Xiying Fruit Farm is no longer optional – it is the future,” said Yu Yongqiang.

This future is already unfolding across China. From the rice fields of Heilongjiang Province (northeast China) to the tea plantations of Zhejiang Province (east China), smart technologies are changing the way crops are grown, marking a decisive shift from the labor-intensive methods that have long defined Chinese agriculture.

In Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (southern China), Huang Xianjun owns a 1,300 mu (86.67 hectares) mango grove where he has implemented smart agricultural equipment, such as agricultural drones, to protect the crops. "The numbers speak for themselves," he said. "Our overall costs have decreased by 30 percent, and our yields have become more stable."

These transformations are being driven by companies like XAG, an agritech firm based in Guangzhou (the capital of Guangdong Province, southern China), which has become the country's leader in the smart technology sector. XAG co-founder Gong Jiaqin has pointed to significant changes in the buyer base for this technology.

Currently, more and more farmers are purchasing and operating smart equipment on their own land, and in addition to using it themselves, they also provide services to other farmers, creating a new type of agricultural entrepreneur, he said.

Furthermore, the Chinese government has also stepped up efforts to modernize agriculture. Local authorities, including Heilongjiang, Zhejiang, and Sichuan provinces, have implemented supportive policies for the development of smart agricultural machinery.

China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) has significantly facilitated the deployment of smart agricultural machinery. By the end of 2023, the total number of agricultural machinery equipped with BeiDou terminals nationwide reached 2.2 million.

China's agricultural machinery industry is also steadily expanding. According to data, by 2024, the number of agricultural machinery enterprises in China with annual operating revenue exceeding 20 million yuan (approximately $2.81 million) will reach 2,271.

The rapid growth of China's smart agriculture sector is helping farmers worldwide. China's agricultural machinery and parts exports in the first half of 2025 totaled $9.3 billion, up 26.5 percent year-on-year. XAG, a model of this success, exports its products and services to 70 countries and regions worldwide.

According to Gong Jiaqin, the Agritechnica agricultural machinery exhibition, held in Hanover, Germany, is an important barometer for assessing the international competitiveness of Chinese players. XAG has participated in several Agritechnica sessions, expanding its booth each time. This year, the company also plans to showcase its new products in the German city.

“It is obvious that the number of Chinese enterprises participating in the exhibition is constantly growing,” Gong Jiaqin noted.

He also emphasized that this growth reflects more than just manufacturing power. "Our R&D has quickly caught up with our competitors," he added. "China is poised to become a global hub for R&D, production, and application of smart agriculture." -0-
