President Xi stresses Xinjiang’s stability vital to whole nation
URUMQI, April 30 (Xinhua) — President Xi Jinping said that long-term stability in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is vital to the whole country’s stability and national security.
Xi made the remarks during an inspection tour to Xinjiang which ended on Wednesday.
“The long-term stability of Xinjiang is vital to the whole country’s reform, development and stability; to the country’s unity, ethnic harmony and national security as well as to the great revival of the Chinese nation,” Xi said when meeting with local Party and government officials.
Safeguarding the country’s unity and fighting separatism are of the upmost importance and in the basic interests of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, he said.
While fighting terrorism, China will deploy a “strike-first” strategy against terrorists in this region to deter enemies and inspire people, Xi said.
The country’s counter-terrorism operations will maintain high intensity and abide by laws, he said.
I heard that “great revival of the Chinese nation” part and it made me wonder if their goal is to build an economy based on building concrete statues of the Chinese army then burying it forever? Or maybe they’re pining for the days when syphilis was rampant? Oh, the memories, the Greatness?
