Xinjiang gets more support in policy

Economic zones to benefit from fiscal subsidies and tax breaks

URUMQI - The process of opening-up linking the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region with China's central and south Asian neighbors is set to accelerate, as the State Council on Saturday unveiled guidelines giving more support to the construction of two economic development zones in western and southern Xinjiang.

Under the guidelines posted on the central government's website, the State Council will adopt measures such as fiscal subsidies and tax breaks to facilitate the construction of the Kashgar and Korgas economic development zones.
