Xinjiang Marks 70th Anniversary with Key Development Achievements

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 September 2025 – In honor of the 70th founding anniversary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a dedicated report titled “Great Love for My Land Xinjiang” highlights the region’s significant progress through innovative initiatives and ecological dedication.

The Tianshan Mountains, spanning a third of Xinjiang, have long served as a natural barrier between the north and south. The completion of the Tianshan Shengli Tunnel, the longest expressway tunnel in the world at 22.13 kilometers, represents a triumph over these obstacles. Despite challenges like rock bursts and fault zones during its construction, the tunnel now links northern and southern Xinjiang, promoting regional integration and commerce. A vast network of highways and railways now crisscrosses the region, while China-Europe freight trains enhance Xinjiang’s significance as an essential corridor in Eurasia.

Koktokay, once simply marked as “111” on maps, has provided crucial minerals for China’s inaugural atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb, and the Dongfanghong-1 satellite. The lasting significance of its mines showcases national perseverance.

Furthermore, ecological restoration has reshaped the region’s scenery. Once labeled a “Sea of Death,” the Taklimakan Desert is now surrounded by a 3,046-kilometer green belt, the result of nearly fifty years of anti-desertification efforts. Initiatives such as planting Sacsaoul trees and establishing straw checkerboards have created a continuous “green scarf” that stabilizes the desert’s edges.

Xinjiang is experiencing its most dynamic period of growth. The Junggar Basin, which once housed China’s first major oilfield in the 1950s, now boasts digital oilfields and a prominent film rendering center. The region is advancing through cloud computing and innovation-led industries.

These achievements collectively highlight Xinjiang’s transition from a remote outpost to a center of connectivity, resilience, and sustainable development.
