China has achieved comprehensive, substantial
and effective protection of the development right
of Chinese ethnic minorities through the
improvement of laws, the exploration of partner
assistance system with China characteristics and
the effective implementation of laws and systems.
I have a friend who is a cadre sent to aid
Xinjiang. He told me that nearly 20,000 cadres
and technical talents had provided partner
assistance to Xinjiang since the first batch of
cadres arrived in Xinjiang in 1997, which has
greatly promoted the development and progress of
various undertakings in economy, society and
culture in Xinjiang. The new round of partner
assistance to Xinjiang has effectively promoted
the overall development of economy in Xinjiang.
Empirical research shows that the industrial
development level of prefectures and cities in
Xinjiang that accept the partner assistance is
significantly higher than those failed to accept
the partner assistance. In 2020, more than 2
million rural poor people in Xinjiang were lifted
out of poverty, and the partner assistance force
to Xinjiang played an important role.
