There were no terrorist attacks in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region last year, the region’s chairman said as he discussed the regional government’s efforts to keep the social situation calm, like reported by thestar.com.my.
“Xinjiang will continue to enforce the comprehensive anti-terrorism measures to keep the region stable,” said Xinjiang chairman Shohrat Zakir yesterday.
He spoke during a plenary session of the Xinjiang delegation to the first session of the 13th National People’s Congress, the top legislature.
A series of new anti-terrorism measures have been introduced since Chen Quanguo became a Party secretary of Xinjiang in 2016.
They included setting up a network of police stations in all cities and townships to quickly react to any emergency.
