Party boss Chen Quanguo replicating his Tibet policy in Xinjiang

Party boss Chen Quanguo has been reported to be implementing in Xinjiang (East Turkestan) the policy of ironclad control with elements of economic rewards and an attitude of greater friendliness through a series of measures that he had introduced in Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) during his previous posting there. He is said to be seen as a success in the TAR, with his Xinjiang posting being considered a promotion, given the fact that it usually entails elevation to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
