In 2023, Zoya Baxti, a dedicated representative of the Kazakh ethnic minority from China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, made her inaugural visit to the Great Hall of the People. Over the past three years in her role, Zoya's voice has not only grown firmer but her actions have become increasingly confident, reflecting her deep commitment to her community and the broader policies she helps shape.
Zoya has played a pivotal role in the implementation of key policies, ensuring that the voices of her constituents are heard and considered in the legislative process. Her journey from a new deputy to a confident leader underscores the importance of diverse representation in governance.
For the past three consecutive years, CGTN's Yang Xinmeng has had the opportunity to meet with Zoya during the Two Sessions, offering a platform to reflect on her progress and discuss future aspirations. These interactions highlight the evolving landscape of young leadership in China and the critical contributions of deputies like Zoya in shaping the nation's future.
