The Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in China is experiencing significant socioeconomic growth and development under a long-standing national paired assistance program. This initiative, launched in 1997, channels resources and expertise from more developed Chinese provinces and central government entities to Xinjiang.

• Since 2012, the central government has allocated over 200 billion yuan in paired assistance funding for Xinjiang.
• The program has secured 3 trillion yuan in investments and introduced over 15,000 enterprises into the region.
• President Xi Jinping has consistently advocated for Xinjiang's development, with 89.2 percent of assistance funds during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) earmarked for projects related to people's well-being.
