Part of the major support package unveiled by the central government on May 20 is a plan to pair China’s wealthier provinces and municipalities of the East to jurisdictions in Xinjiang. Just recently, the Beijing Review wrote an article on the pairing project providing more details regarding whose money will be going where, and for what purpose. Given the novelty of this plan, the obscurity to many people of various Xinjiang jurisdictions, and general interest as to what’s really happening with this ambitious project, I hastily have put together a color coded map that hopefully will help readers visualize the East-to-West partnership the government is attempting here.
