Abstract
Since the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was founded in 1949, the Chinese central government has made various efforts to stabilize Xinjiang and to fully assimilate it into China. However, it seems that what the Chinese government has done in Xinjiang during the past decades have not yielded what they expected. In this chapter, four unique development approaches (including the “quasi-militaristic development zone,” the “pairing-aid program,” the “large construction project,” and the “inland middle school classes”) that the Chinese government has applied, which have resulted in both positive and negative effects on the social and economic development of Xinjiang, are analyzed. At the end of this chapter, there is an annex of the major interprovincial events relating to the pairing-aid-to-Xinjiang programs.
