I have to say that Xinjiang may really become developed this time.

Just this year, relevant departments suddenly announced that starting from 2025, they plan to implement no less than 500 key projects in Xinjiang.

What’s even more astonishing is that this plan is not only led by a group of giant central enterprises, but the amount of investment has reached 3.47 trillion yuan that people can’t even imagine.

Judging from the huge results achieved by the original "Four Trillion Plan", Xinjiang, which has received a large amount of financial aid, may be hard-pressed not to change the situation because of this, and may even become the next Shenzhen to successfully counterattack.

Although they were surprised, netizens couldn't help but wonder, why did Xinjiang, a country that only had raisins and mutton skewers in their minds, suddenly receive great attention from the country? Is there some hidden secret behind this unusual change?

In order to improve the readability of the article, the details may have been polished. Please read it wisely. It is for reference only!

Xinjiang is “progressing”

Since May 6, 2025, when they learned that the relevant departments will plan to implement 500 key projects in Xinjiang and invest a huge investment of no less than 3.47 trillion yuan, many people have found it a bit unbelievable. They can't figure out how the seemingly ordinary Xinjiang suddenly became so "promising"?

You must know that 3.47 trillion is not a small amount. It is not only equivalent to the construction cost of 15 Three Gorges Dams, but also equivalent to nearly 3.5 Yalong River hydropower projects. Even the total annual GDP of some developed countries in Europe may not reach this number.

However, under such circumstances, the relevant departments did not even blink an eye, and formulated such a huge investment plan for Xinjiang. Their attitude was so determined that they seemed to want to replicate the success of the "Four Trillion Plan", and it was even more exaggerated than the original vigorous Four Trillion Plan.

You know, in 2008, in order to cope with the various unfavorable situations brought about by the international financial crisis and the Wenchuan earthquake, our country quickly launched this nationwide "four trillion plan."

Under this plan, not only has the construction of various major infrastructures been promoted at an unimaginable level, but also the strategic adjustment and development of economic structures across the country have achieved excellent results, and even remarkable results have been achieved in important aspects such as "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" and "people's livelihood".

The success of the "Four Trillion Plan" has once again made a qualitative leap for our country.

However, today, just one province can get huge benefits that are not much different from the "Four Trillion Plan".

So much so that many netizens are jealous and want to ask, what is the virtue and capability of Xinjiang, which seems to be inconspicuous?

Xinjiang will become the "king bomb" of national strategy

If you ask about the reason, I am afraid that Xinjiang really has huge potential that is unimaginable.

The most significant potential of Xinjiang is probably that Xinjiang is so rich in resources.

Xinjiang alone has 153 kinds of mineral resources, accounting for 88% of the minerals discovered in the country. Xinjiang not only has many kinds of minerals, but also has quite rich mineral reserves.

It is understood that in Xinjiang, important resource reserves such as coal, ilmenite, and petroleum all occupy an unimaginable proportion in our country, especially ilmenite resources. The reserves in the Oyibulak mining area in Artush City alone have reached an extremely terrifying 383 million tons.

The large amount of mineral resource reserves directly leads to Xinjiang's huge advantages in developing industry that are unmatched by other provinces.

What makes other provinces even more jealous is that Xinjiang is not only rich in mineral resources, it is also extremely rich in energy.

It is understood that Xinjiang today not only has the largest solar energy in the country, but also has the second largest wind energy in the country. This directly leads to the fact that energy in Xinjiang is quite cheap.

How cheap is it? The long-term stable electricity price in Xinjiang is only 0.2 to 0.3 yuan per kilowatt hour, which is far lower than other provinces in China.

The low electricity bills are very attractive to factories and enterprises known for their high energy consumption.

You know, for a normal-sized factory, the annual electricity bill alone ranges from hundreds of thousands to two million. The huge pressure on electricity bills has overwhelmed many factories.

However, when they move to Xinjiang, their electricity bill pressure will also plummet due to cheap electricity bills.

Just because resources and energy are abundant and cheap, many companies are already excited about Xinjiang. But the problem is that the benefits of Xinjiang are not just that.

The biggest and most critical benefit of Xinjiang for enterprises today is probably that it is now becoming the core of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative.

For former Chinese people, Xinjiang was a remote frontier place, but for our country that wants to "Belt and Road", Xinjiang is a real treasure land.

In the cooperation and construction of the “One Belt and One Road” initiative, Xinjiang’s geographical location is not unfavorable.

To the north, there are 140 million Russians looking forward to cheap and high-quality products made in China, while to the west, tens of millions of Central Asians have strong demand for Chinese goods.

How good is this location? Let’s put it this way, if many companies that engage in Asia-Europe trade locate their main warehouse in Xinjiang, Xinjiang’s geographical location will be so advantageous that the cost of transporting goods will drop significantly. This will be very attractive to related companies.

But to say the best, I’m afraid it has to be this one.

Since Xinjiang occupies the most critical core position in the cooperation and construction of the "Belt and Road", the country will issue some policy bonuses for it from time to time.

If companies rush to build factories in Xinjiang, they will also enjoy more or less the benefits of the country's policies for Xinjiang.

With such benefits coming one after another, it is no wonder that Xinjiang will receive a huge investment of no less than 3.47 trillion yuan, and it is no wonder that more than 40 central enterprises will rush to join the 2025 Xinjiang plan.

Seeing this, I believe many people can see that Xinjiang is destined to be bright and bright in the future.

But some netizens also asked, as ordinary people, can we get a share of the general development trend of Xinjiang?

The answer is yes. The following types of people will be popular in Xinjiang’s development trend.

Ordinary people can also get a share of the pie

If ordinary people want to take a share of Xinjiang's development trend, although it is a bit difficult, it is not impossible. At least ordinary people with the following identities will live quite well in Xinjiang in the future.

The first type is the operation and maintenance engineers on the computing power system. With the advancement of the "Belt and Road" construction, it will directly lead to the explosive growth of trade between Xinjiang and Asia and Europe, especially e-commerce trade. At this time, there is an extreme need for such senior talents who can debug servers and quickly process cross-border logistics orders.

It is foreseeable that their treatment in Xinjiang will not be bad in the future.

The second type is those who have technical talents related to new energy engineering. As Xinjiang's energy development becomes better and better, Xinjiang is now gradually beginning to focus on new energy construction, especially big cities like Urumqi, which are beginning to build new energy automobile cities aimed at the Asian and European markets.

If you want to succeed, you will definitely need the technical support of a large number of relevant talents.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that they will become popular.

Conclusion:

It is foreseeable that in the future, Xinjiang will be a treasure land full of opportunities and possibilities, both for ordinary people and for major enterprises including high-energy-consuming manufacturing industries.

As for whether they can successfully pursue their dreams here, let us wait and see.
