Is Wuqia County poor?

Wuqia County, known as the "West Pole", belongs to Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and is a deep poverty area designated by the state. The average annual precipitation here is1.72mm, and the evaporation is 2,500mm, which integrates the harsh climate, ethnic minority areas and border areas, and is one of the main battlefields for poverty alleviation in China.

Zijin Zinc Industry is rooted in Wuqia County, adhering to the initial intention and mission of Zijin Mining to "develop mining and benefit the society" and actively contributing to the local economic and social development. By the end of 2020, the company had paid 654.38+645 million yuan in taxes and fees for residents, accounting for half of Zhou Ke's annual tax contribution and more than 70% of Wuqia County.

To sum up, Wuqia County is a deep poverty-stricken area, but in recent years it has been helped by enterprises such as Zijin Zinc Industry.
