 [8月26日,习近平在结束出席金砖国家领导人第十五次会晤并对南非进行国事访问回到国内后,在乌鲁木齐专门听取新疆维吾尔自治区党委和政府、新疆生产建设兵团工作汇报。中共中央政治局委员、新疆维吾尔自治区党委书记马兴瑞等作了汇报,自治区政府主席艾尔肯·吐尼亚孜等参加汇报会。听取汇报后,习近平发表了重要讲话

The Report of Mr. Xi's remarks (in the original Chinese and a crude English translation) follow. A few points may be worth mentioning:

1. First is the timing.  "On August 26, after returning to China after attending the 15th BRICS Leaders' Meeting and paying a state visit to South Africa, Xi Jinping listened to the work reports of the Party Committee and Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Urumqi." The juxtaposition was significant.  It suggests an equivalence between one of the more important foreign policy initiatives in which China participates (BRICS) and what is now clearly a jewel of domestic policy. The signalling of the importance Chinese leaders attach to the policy initiatives in Xinjiang should not be underestimated. 

2. Second is the connection between Xinjiang and overall policies.  The timing also suggests not just the importance of the Xinjiang policy but at also suggests that the range of "compromise" or "engagement" with the liberal democratic camp or other critics of that policy will likley be challenging at best.  Xi Jinping "pointed out that the work in Xinjiang has a special and important position in the overall work of the party and the country, and it is related to the construction of a strong country and the overall situation of national rejuvenation."

3. Third is the connection between overall policies and the vanguard's basic line. Xinjiang does not just represent a policy that  specific to Xinjiang (though there is quite a bit of that in its operationalization). Instead, Xinjiang is a manifestation of a contextually relevant application of the core elements of the vanguard's basic line in the new era. "Xi Jinping emphasized that we must always put maintaining social stability in the first place, strengthen the overall planning and integration of the work of grasping stability and promoting development, so as to ensure development through stability and promote stability through development. " There is no stepping back form this.  

4. Fourth is socio-political solidarity is a key element of this core basic line of the vanguard. China is attentive to nation building in a multi-ethnic state.  It is undertaking that construction of national solidarity as a political priority and intimately connected to the multiple objectives of the vanguard's work in its new era. "Xi Jinping pointed out that building a sense of the Chinese nation's community is the main line of the party's ethnic work in the new era, and it is also the main line of work in ethnic areas. It is necessary to do a solid job in forging the consciousness of the Chinese nation community." To change Xinjiang policy would require a shift that retains the current goals.  That may not be possible, realistically.

5. Fifth, the key to public engagement about Xinjiang is to attain better control of its narrative. IN the third decade of the 21st century something doesn't exist unless it has a story that shapes human cognition. "Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen positive publicity, show Xinjiang's open and confident new look and new atmosphere, tell the story of Xinjiang in the new era through multiple channels and forms, and refute all kinds of false public opinion, negative public opinion, and harmful speech in a targeted manner. It is necessary to increase the opening up of tourism in Xinjiang and encourage domestic and foreign tourists to travel to Xinjiang."

6. Sixth, deep transformation requires deeper penetration. Narrative is not enough.  That is important for collective consensus built on shared cognition.  But the essence of the project is internal. And that requires penetration. "Xi Jinping pointed out that to do a good job in Xinjiang, we must insist on penetrating the work force. Party members and cadres must go deep into the grassroots and the masses. The organizational system and work force must reach the grassroots and enrich the grassroots frontline forces." Autonomy of identity is, from this perspective, a conceit of liberal democracy and perhaps a misreading of its constitutional provisions on individual liberty.  But that is of no concern to the vanguard except to confirm that solidarity requires the focus on the collective; and a focus on the collective requires institutional inter-penetration at the political, societal, economic, cultural, and religious spheres.

In the process of Chinese-style modernization, we must strive for progress, make continuous efforts, and work hard for a long time to better build a beautiful Xinjiang that is united and harmonious, prosperous, prosperous, civilized and progressive, where we live and work in peace and contentment, and have a good ecology.

On August 26, after returning to China after attending the 15th BRICS Leaders' Meeting and paying a state visit to South Africa, Xi Jinping listened to the work reports of the Party Committee and Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Urumqi.

After listening to the report, Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, affirming the achievements made in various tasks in Xinjiang. He pointed out that the work in Xinjiang has a special and important position in the overall work of the party and the country, and it is related to the construction of a strong country and the overall situation of national rejuvenation. The requirements of the Party Central Committee for various tasks in Xinjiang are very clear, and the key is to understand and implement them in place. It is necessary to focus on the present and solve the outstanding problems facing the current development and stability, but also to have long-term planning, solidly promote the fundamental, basic, and long-term work related to long-term stability, and actively solve various deep-seated contradictions and problems.

Xi Jinping emphasized that we must always put maintaining social stability in the first place, strengthen the overall planning and integration of the work of grasping stability and promoting development, so as to ensure development through stability and promote stability through development. We must focus on long-term stability, hold high the banner of the rule of law, make good use of legal weapons, improve the level of rule of law, and build a stable foundation for the rule of law. It is necessary to improve the mechanism for preventing and defusing major risks and hidden dangers, combine the anti-terrorism and anti-separatist struggle with the promotion of the rule of law and normalization of stability maintenance work, adhere to both symptoms and root causes, comprehensive measures, and strengthen source governance. It is necessary to further promote the Sinicization of Islam and effectively control various illegal religious activities.

Xi Jinping pointed out that building a sense of the Chinese nation's community is the main line of the party's ethnic work in the new era, and it is also the main line of work in ethnic areas. It is necessary to do a solid job in forging the consciousness of the Chinese nation community. Whether it is the introduction of laws and regulations or policy measures, whether it is conducive to strengthening the commonality of the Chinese nation and enhancing the sense of community of the Chinese nation should be the primary consideration. We must resolutely promote education in the national standard spoken and written language, and gradually improve the awareness and ability of the masses to use the national standard spoken and written language. It is necessary to strengthen the protection and utilization of cultural relics and cultural heritage, and guide cadres and the masses to establish correct views of the country, nation, history, and religion. It is necessary to strengthen modern civilization education and popular science education for young people, and guide them to actively integrate into modern civilized life.

The whole country will work together to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way. To achieve social stability and high-quality development in Xinjiang, the most difficult task lies in the countryside. It is necessary to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation and promote rural revitalization as an important starting point for development, increase economic development and improve people's livelihood, strengthen the construction of water conservancy facilities and optimize the allocation of water resources, and actively develop modern agriculture and photovoltaic industrial parks. It is necessary to endow, cultivate and develop new growth objectives.

Xi Jinping pointed out that to do a good job in Xinjiang, we must insist on penetrating the work force. Party members and cadres must go deep into the grassroots and the masses. The organizational system and work force must reach the grassroots and enrich the grassroots frontline forces. Build and strengthen grass-roots party organizations, achieve full coverage of grass-roots party organizations, and solve the problem of weakness and laxity of some grass-roots party organizations. Optimize the system of selecting and dispatching first secretaries and work teams to key villages, dispatch work teams to villages, and train local cadres. Adhere to and develop the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era, grasp the demands of the masses, and solve the difficulties and contradictions of the grassroots in a timely manner.

Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen positive publicity, show Xinjiang's open and confident new look and new atmosphere, tell the story of Xinjiang in the new era through multiple channels and forms, and refute all kinds of false public opinion, negative public opinion, and harmful speech in a targeted manner. It is necessary to increase the opening up of tourism in Xinjiang and encourage domestic and foreign tourists to travel to Xinjiang.

Xi Jinping emphasized that the key to doing a good job in Xinjiang is to uphold the party's overall leadership and earnestly strengthen party building. We must resolutely safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, and resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee. Conscientiously summarize the successful experience of the first batch of themed education, promote the second batch of themed education with high quality, strengthen the theoretical study and policy training of cadres in light of Xinjiang's actual situation, and improve the ability of leading cadres at all levels to investigate and study, grasp policies, promote work, and connect with the masses .
