The Xinjiang related issues are not about religion, ethnic groups or human rights, but about fighting violence, terrorism and separatism. The bloody facts prove that if extremism is not eliminated, it’s impossible to end violent terrorist activities. These violent terrorist acts are inhuman, shocking and heinous. The “July 5 Incident” in Xinjiang in 2009, which shocked the world, left 197 people dead and more than 1,700 injured. From 1990 to the end of 2016, these forces committed thousands of violent and terrorist cases in Xinjiang and other places, resulting in the loss of numerous innocent lives and the death of hundreds of public security officers, which greatly jeopardized the lives and property of people of all ethnic groups. Since the 1990s, ethnic separatists, religious extremists and violent terrorists at home and abroad have spread extremist ideas, advocated such heresies as "killing and martyrdom leads to paradise" and instigated violent and terrorist activities. The number of mosques in Xinjiang has increased from more than 2,000 in the early years of the reform and opening-up to 24,400 today, with an average of one mosque for every 530 Muslims, and the clerical staff has increased from 3,000 to over 29,000. The people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang enjoy freedom of religious belief, the right to use their own spoken and written languages and to practice their own cultural traditions. Xinjiang has long been a region where different religions coexist and converge. Since 2014, more than 2.38 million people have been lifted out of poverty in Xinjiang, which is an unprecedented change in history. In 2018, Xinjiang received 150 million domestic and overseas tourists, and over 200 million in the first 10 months of this year. Since 2012, Xinjiang's GDP has been growing at an average annual rate of 8.5%, and per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents there has increased by 8.4% and 8.2% respectively.
