As an important component of the ancient Silk Road, China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has always been a place where diverse cultures and civilizations intersect. In this episode, we invited renowned scholars Colin Mackerras and Barry Sautman to talk about their observations and experiences in Xinjiang, as well as how the region has developed into a place full of opportunities.
Professor Mackerras pointed out that Xinjiang's economy has changed enormously. "People are more confident, and the standard of living has gone up enormously," he said.
"There's been a very substantial rise in the level of education," Professor Sautman noted. "Younger people can speak Mandarin and still retain their own ethnic languages," he added.
