China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is located in the heart of the Eurasian continent and is an important node on the ancient Silk Road. With the continuous advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative and China's western development strategy, Xinjiang's foreign trade has increased from 100 billion yuan ($13.9 billion) in 2007 to 435.11 billion yuan in 2024. As a strategic gateway to the west, Xinjiang will play an increasingly vital role in China's opening-up. 

CGTN's ChinaByNumbers series showcases Xinjiang's remarkable achievements in agricultural modernization, cultural tourism, economic restructuring, and green transformation.
