BEIJING– Chinese President Xi Jinping has asked for more efforts to promote economic growth and all-round social progress in Tibet and Tibetan-inhabited areas in four other provinces, vowing sustainable measures and continued preferential policies. Tibet and Tibetan-inhabited areas in four other provinces have entered “a critical stage” toward fulfilling the country’s goal of building a moderately prosperous society in a comprehensive way, Xi said at a two-day meeting on Tibet’s future development, which ended on Tuesday. Special financial, tax and investment policies should continue to be in place in the future in southwest China’s Tibet autonomous region and Tibetan-inhabited areas in Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu and Qinghai provinces, he added. Development, which aims to improve living conditions for various ethnic groups and beef up social cohesion, should be advanced in a prudent and steady manner, and all measures taken should be sustainable, Xi said.
