Print Edition
CHINA will crack down harshly on terrorist attacks and maintain lasting stability in Xinjiang, the Party’s central leadership said yesterday.
Stability in the northwest is vital to the whole country’s reform and development as well as its national security, said a statement released after a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Party’s Central Committee, chaired by President Xi Jinping who is also the Party’s general secretary.
All Party members should perceive the timeliness and complexity of the acute anti-separatist struggle in Xinjiang and better understand the importance of maintaining local stability, the statement said.
Top priority should be given to the fight against violent terrorist attacks and religious extremist forces, it said, adding that confidence was needed to win the long-term struggle.
“The Party’s policies on Xinjiang have been proved completely right,” the central leadership said, urging more efforts to implement existing ethnic policies to promote bilingual education and interaction between ethnic groups.
Creating jobs for local people will be put at the top of the agenda, the Party leadership said, adding it should be ensured that at least one person from zero-employment families is offered a job.
Steps will be taken to boost education in Xinjiang, including speeding up the building of boarding schools in agricultural and pastoral areas as well as remote regions, the leadership vowed.
People will be encouraged to protect their local environment and realize sustainable development in Xinjiang, according to the statement.
The statement said that campaigns will be launched to combat terrorism, separatism and extremism in Xinjiang in order to limit the surging number of terrorist attacks.
“More efforts are needed to increase ideological influence,” it added. “Socialist core values should be used in the building of the common spiritual home for nations in Xinjiang.”
Special measures will be taken to boost development in southern Xinjiang in particular and improve local people’s livelihoods there, it said.
The leadership also stressed the role of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in maintaining stability and promoting ethnic harmony.
