Where does the economic development level of Xinjiang Autonomous Region rank among the whole of China?

The following article is reprinted from the Internet:

Xinjiang is Xinjiang, there is no need to compare, there is no need to worry about it. The earth creates a piece of land here, which has its own use. Human beings have been operating here for thousands of years and have their own ideals.

With the fourth-to-last population among the 12 western provinces and regions, Xinjiang has created the fourth-largest economic aggregate. Its per capita GDP exceeds that of all central and western provinces and regions, ranking among the 31 provinces (cities) in the country. No. 12 in the district! The per capita GDP of Karamay, a famous oil city, is as high as nearly 6,000 US dollars, ranking 5th among 664 cities in the country! Xinjiang, which accounts for one-sixth of China and has a population of 20 million, has as many criminal cases in half a year as there are in Guangzhou in three days!

From the overall level of the whole population, the quality of the population in Xinjiang is significantly higher than that of other provinces and regions in the country

1. According to Darwinism (theory of evolution), the principle of "the farther apart, the better the variety" ;

Xinjiang itself has a small population and is a standard immigration area. As early as the Han Dynasty, people from the Central Plains entered the Western Regions. During the Qing Dynasty, there were specific immigration measures for border expansion. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, young people supporting the border areas More than 2 million people immigrated to Xinjiang. From 1963 to 1965 alone, 90,000 people moved from Shanghai to Xinjiang. The transfer of troops, job dispatch and other reasons also promoted the immigration of a large number of immigrants from all over the country. So far, the population is distributed in all provinces and regions across the country, including Tibet (Han people account for the absolute majority. Han people in Xinjiang are highly concentrated in cities and corps). Standing on the streets of Urumqi, what you hear in your ears are not only the dialects of the Han people, but also the different words of various ethnic minorities; what you see in your eyes are not only yellow people with black hair and black eyes (including all ethnic groups), but also people with blond hair and blue eyes. The white race is a veritable “ethnic museum” in our country. Living in multicultural Xinjiang, people are open-minded and broad-minded. They are not easily conformist, will not blindly exclude foreigners, have little regional discrimination, and are able to tolerate different religious beliefs, different traditional cultures, different customs and habits, and different dietary lifestyles.

2. Bathing in the nature and society of Xinjiang can easily make your thinking become solemn, generous and versatile.

The people living here are somewhat bloody, with the persistence and bravery to chase tigers in the east mountains, wolves in the west mountains, and whirlwinds in the Gobi Desert.

3. Xinjiang is endowed with unique water, soil, light and heat resources and a huge temperature difference between day and night. It is an ideal place to develop horticulture, fruits and specialty agriculture. Therefore, it is extremely rich in products and has endless delicacies. In daily life, people I am accustomed to fully investing money to enjoy life, and my diet is no exception. I pay attention to nutrition and deliciousness. The diet structure is mainly high in calcium and protein, and I also eat a lot of fruits. The climate in Xinjiang is very comfortable, especially in summer, which is very cool (except Turpan). Even on hotter days, there is cool wind. There is no suffocating heat and sticky humidity in the mainland (dry climate is not easy to contract skin diseases). There is even less in Urumqi City north of the Tianshan Mountains and the entire northern Xinjiang region. There are mosquitoes. Although the winter in Xinjiang is cold, the indoors where people live and work are very warm. Vegetables, melons and fruits also grow very vigorously in greenhouses. Everyone will not be used to winter without ice and snow. People who go to the mainland for business trips to visit relatives in winter will complain about the cold in their houses in the mainland.

In Xinjiang, drinking milk is like drinking water, and eating mutton is like eating naan. It feels really good. Due to a combination of diet, climate and many other factors, young people in Xinjiang generally have very good physical fitness (whether it is height, appearance, or physical health). Young men under the age of 30 are generally around 180cm, and young women are also around 1.70cm. Young people in Xinjiang are generally cheerful and humorous. They like to drink all day long and sing and dance all night long.

4. The per capita education level in Xinjiang is surprisingly high. There are many outstanding talents in all walks of life, and many people have artistic talents! (Starting from Urumqi, the phenomenon of “peacocks flying southeast” has been gradually changed)! The Engel coefficient of urban households in Xinjiang is 0.35. According to the wealth and poverty standards determined by the United Nations based on the Engel coefficient, urban life in Xinjiang has entered a wealthy society.

The level of urbanization in Xinjiang is relatively high (up to 83% in Urumqi and 100% in Karamay). The illiteracy rate is far lower than that of other provinces in central and western my country, only 3%. However, higher education has been established for several years. It has been very popular before (there are few students in Xinjiang, many universities inside and outside Xinjiang, and colleges and universities in various places have sufficient quotas for students in Xinjiang)! In Urumqi and Karamay, the proportion of college students has reached nearly 20% many years ago, and almost all young people under the age of 30 have received higher education. In job recruitment in various parts of Xinjiang, employers rarely look at diplomas and generally give equal competitive opportunities to all applicants, and everything is determined by work ability. Due to the rapid development of the economy, especially the rapid development of the tertiary industry, employment pressure in various parts of Xinjiang has always been low.

5. With the rapid economic development, Xinjiang has made great progress in science, education, culture and health. Family planning has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Urumqi and Karamay experienced "negative population growth" as early as 2000! (However, the population is still increasing. Due to the rapid economic development, nearly 2 million mainland migrant workers enter Xinjiang and the Xinjiang Corps every year)

6. Living in the unique atmosphere of Xinjiang, people are independent by nature and like to take risks. Don't like stable and boring work. In interpersonal and economic interactions, courtesy and the AA system are respected, and even women do not take advantage of others. Everyone has their own unique views and opinions on how they behave and do things, and they hate the crude interference of others. In Xinjiang, interfering with others, inquiring into other people's privacy, and staring at others are very despicable behaviors and will arouse the disgust of others. In an ancient country that advocates "carrying on the family line", Xinjiang, a society of immigrants, is incompatible with it. It advocates personal value in life and is unwilling to be bound by any form. Therefore, the age of marriage is generally late. According to rough statistics and surveys by relevant departments in Xinjiang at the end of 2005, "Xinjiang The age of marriage for young men and women is generally between 29 and 27 years old." In fact, in cities in northern and southern Xinjiang, especially Urumqi, "old people" (not considered old in Xinjiang) who are over 30 years old are everywhere! "DINK" families emerge in endlessly!

The dust in all prefectures and prefectures outside Xinjiang’s Hotan region is not as big as that in Beijing! Sand and dust weather is far less scary than you think!

In spring, when the entire northern China is faced with the invasion of sand and dust weather, only the northern Xinjiang region north of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang (Urumqi is located within this range) and the three northeastern provinces (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning) can hardly bear it. To the impact of sand and dust weather!

Contrary to the rest of the country, Xinjiang’s rapid economic development has not come at the expense of the environment. Due to years of tree planting and other related protection measures, Xinjiang’s ecological environment is getting better and better! The most famous one is the Kekoya Plantation in the eastern suburbs of Aksu City. It took 20 years of selfless dedication of an entire generation to completely change Aksu City’s former sandstorm weather. Not only that, today’s Kekoya Forest Area has also created huge The economic benefits have established the status of the forest and fruit industry production base in Aksu region! Because the Kekoya Artificial Forest Area has exerted huge social and economic benefits, it has been rated as "one of the United Nations' 500 Best Situations for Humanity"!

Xinjiang companies can easily internationalize. Xinjiang enterprises have not gone through the old path of domestic enterprises developing from low to high and from inside to outside. Instead, they have stood at a high starting point of adopting the latest technology and facing the international market. Private enterprises in Xinjiang are developing very fast, and all of them are very strong.

There are always names from Xinjiang on the list of China’s top ten richest people. Among the 2002 list of the 100 richest people in China's capital market published by "New Fortune", there were 7 people from Xinjiang. All of them are worth billions. Generally speaking, most people who have become rich live in economically developed cities and regions and are engaged in emerging industries. This is only in line with common sense, just like Hong Kong is rich in wealthy people and the United States almost wins the Nobel Prize. People from Xinjiang are always on the list, which is rare in the west and a bit surprising. The famous economist Fan Gang called it the "Urumqi phenomenon" and believed it was worth studying.

On May 24, 2002, "Xinjiang Daily" reported on the Xinjiang Delong Group. Delong has become a controlling shareholder or shareholder of more than 30 domestic and foreign companies, with total assets of US$1 billion. A diversified multinational investment holding group with nearly 100,000 employees worldwide. Delong came to the United States not to build a factory, but to buy stores, brands, networks, and ultimately markets. In 2001, Delong sold US$1.2 billion in the U.S. market, and thousands of Americans worked for Delong. The report also disclosed in detail that Delong’s tomato paste production capacity ranks first in Asia and second in the world, with output accounting for 80% of domestic production and 10% of the global market.

Delong is China's largest power tool manufacturer and exporter, with output accounting for 60% of the domestic market and more than 20% of the European market. Delong is also the largest spark plug manufacturer in China. More than 90% of its brake parts, wire mesh and other products are sold to North America, ranking first in the country in exports.

In just a few years, Delong is no longer an unknown small company opened by a few college students in Urumqi. Delong is no longer Xinjiang Delong in a simple sense, nor is it only Chinese Delong in an absolute sense, but a veritable international Delong. DeLong's blockbuster success is close to myth.

It is easy for Xinjiang enterprises to internationalize, because Xinjiang’s own market is not large and the domestic market is further away than the international market. In addition, many products in Xinjiang have advantages in international competition. The open spirit of Xinjiang people has combined with Extraordinary magnanimity, so many enterprises in Xinjiang have not experienced the old path of domestic enterprises' rolling development from low to high, from inside to outside. Instead, they have stood at a high starting point of adopting the latest technology and facing the international market.

Everything in Xinjiang is big, big enough to make people stunned and filled with emotions; big enough to make people feel refreshed, relaxed and comfortable. “Bigness” is an unshakable characteristic of Xinjiang. Starting from the big appearance, we can appreciate the great boldness, great charm and great culture.

Who dares to conclude that in another 20 years, the west, represented by Xinjiang, will not be able to become a pair of wings for China to take off, like the west coast of the United States, together with the east? !

Studying industry from Europe and the United States, agriculture from Israel, and animal husbandry from Australia are topics of interest to everyone in Xinjiang. Although Xinjiang is not yet developed enough, relying on its extremely rich resources and unique international strategic location, as well as its rich products and tourism resources, Xinjiang is destined to become the future economic highland of western China and Central Asia. Twenty years after the opening up of the coastal areas, the world has changed. Today is no longer what it used to be. The depression on the coastal front lines of the past is no longer visible. As for Xinjiang, the top priority of the western development, who dares to conclude that in another 20 years, the west represented by Xinjiang will not be able to become a pair of wings for China to take off like the west coast of the United States, together with the east? ! The development of the western region is an opportunity that Xinjiang has been waiting for for a long time, and this big wave is also coming to Xinjiang. It is foreseeable that when the wave recedes, what will emerge will be an economic highland that attracts the world's attention.

In the past few decades, some people have experienced bitterness in Xinjiang. 50 years ago, 30 years ago, or 20 years ago, many intellectuals laid the foundation for the development of Xinjiang. Many demobilized soldiers devoted their lives to Xinjiang's agricultural reclamation. Many young people from border areas devoted their youth to the construction of Xinjiang. The people in Xinjiang have worked hard for the development of Xinjiang, but their value has not been fully repaid spiritually and materially. When they left, they took with them a lot of bitter memories. At that time, conditions in Xinjiang were very poor and some policies were unreasonable. It is not difficult to understand their grievances.

Many people tried their best to go to the mainland, but because of their blindness, their living conditions were very bad later. However, they did not want or were unwilling to admit their failed life, so they turned to attack Xinjiang, the country where they were raised, saying that Xinjiang was backward, etc. , is nothing more than seeking inner balance and inner self-stability.

Ignorance, prejudice, memory, and malice not only reflect Xinjiang’s backwardness in the past, but also illustrate that Xinjiang is developing rapidly and changing dramatically today.
