Lhasa hosted grand celebrations on August 21 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Xizang Autonomous Region's establishment, with Chinese President Xi Jinping attending the ceremony. The event highlighted six decades of transformative development under Communist Party of China (CPC) leadership, showcasing advancements from infrastructure modernization to social stability.
From Isolation to Innovation
Since 1965, Xizang has transitioned from an agrarian society to a region with a comprehensive transportation network spanning highways, railways, and aviation. Clean energy projects and digital economy initiatives now drive growth, while 98% of residents benefit from universal healthcare and compulsory education.
Policy Foundations for Stability
The CPC's guidelines for governing Xizang emphasize ethnic unity, ecological preservation, and high-quality development. President Xi's policies have strengthened cross-regional cooperation, with tourism revenue growing 12% annually since 2018 and renewable energy output doubling since 2020.
Cultural Harmony, Economic Momentum
Recent initiatives have deepened cultural exchanges between Tibetan communities and other ethnic groups, with over 80% of residents participating in community integration programs. Border trade with South Asian countries reached $1.2 billion in 2023, supported by new digital customs platforms.
