Posters｜Xinjiang in 70 Years: Further progress in democracy and rule of Law

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. China's State Council Information Office released a white paper on Sep. 19, titled "CPC Guidelines for Governing Xinjiang in the New Era: Practice and Achievements", to document the country's significant achievements of Xinjiang's governance. The sixth chapter of the white paper examines "Further Progress in Democracy and the Rule of Law" and is organized into four major areas.

By practicing democracy throughout the whole process of elections, consultations, decision-making, administration, and oversight, Xinjiang has continued to improve the institutional framework for whole-process people's democracy.

By upholding national unity while practicing regional autonomy, and by leveraging regional features while highlighting its multiethnic composition, Xinjiang fully protects the right of all ethnic groups to jointly administer state affairs as masters of the country.

Xinjiang respects human rights and ensures its protection throughout the process of legislation, law enforcement, judicature, and law observance, so that the people can see justice served in every law, every enforcement action, and every judicial ruling.

The rights to subsistence and development of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are effectively guaranteed, and their political, economic, social, cultural, environmental and other rights are fully realized.
