A new white paper released by the State Council Information Office on Friday shines a spotlight on the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the Chinese mainland, highlighting the region’s strides in building robust foundations for peace, security and social stability.
Titled “CPC Guidelines for Governing Xinjiang in the New Era: Practice and Achievements,” the report frames social stability and lasting peace as essential pillars for driving broader reform, development and stability across the Chinese mainland. According to the document, the region has made social stability its top priority, weaving security measures into every layer of governance.
Through law-based and regular measures, Xinjiang has continued its anti-terrorism efforts, actively preventing and defusing risks in multiple fields. The white paper also credits local authorities with countering interference and sabotage by external forces, contributing to an overall environment of safety and growth.
Arguably the most striking claim is the region’s historic transformation: from periods of chaos to sustained stability, and from stability to effective governance. This journey, as the white paper outlines, sets a model for balancing economic progress with security imperatives—an approach that policymakers and observers across the G20 might find instructive.
As global audiences watch for fresh perspectives on development-security trade-offs, Xinjiang’s reported achievements feed into a broader conversation about reform, resilience and regional governance in the 21st century.
