Abstract
The article examines the development of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in the context of China’s implementation of a number of large economic projects aimed both at the development of individual regions and the country as a whole. In the 2000s, China began to implement such projects as “Development of Western China” and “One Belt, One Road”, which were designed to solve the problems of lagging the western (inland) regions of the country, meet its energy needs and promote the development of foreign trade. The importance of XUAR for China at the beginning of the XXI century increases due to its economic and geostrategic characteristics. Xinjiang is turning into a geo-economic outpost of China in the Central Asian region. At the same time, a number of problems could not be resolved. In modern Xinjiang, high indicators of macroeconomic development are adjacent to a complex of socioeconomic problems.
