China's centrally-administered state-owned enterprises (SOEs) invested a total of 1.1 trillion yuan (about 159 billion U.S. dollars) in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), official data showed Friday.
Over the five years, central SOEs generated 6.2 trillion yuan in operating revenue in the region, according to a meeting on central SOEs' industrial support for Xinjiang held in Beijing on Friday.
In 2025 alone, central SOEs completed 265.7 billion yuan of investment and created 107,000 new jobs in the region.
Central SOEs will further expand investment in Xinjiang in 2026 and accelerate the implementation of a number of major projects, according to the meeting.
During the meeting, 18 central SOEs signed letters of intent for 92 projects in Xinjiang, spanning sectors including energy, mineral resources, computing power and equipment manufacturing.

Nearly 100 guests from the Chinese and American business, academic, and media sectors gathered in New York Friday to discuss new opportunities brought to the world by China's blueprint for high-quality development.
The "China in Springtime: China's Development Opportunities for the World" high-level dialogue, hosted by China Media Group, came after the "two sessions" concluded in Beijing, an event watched closely by many industry leaders in the United States.
Speakers said that as a key window into contemporary China, the annual "two sessions" once again drew global attention. This year's meetings approved important documents, including the Outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). This roadmap for China's high-quality growth is seen as providing a new list of opportunities for the world.
Participants emphasized that China's development cannot be separated from the world, and global prosperity also requires China. They described this year as significant for China-U.S. relations, calling for a steady, sound, and sustainable development in bilateral ties that benefits both nations and the world.
During the session, guests from the investment and technology sectors explored topics such as the potential for China-U.S. economic and trade cooperation, as well as the global opportunities arising from technological innovation and new quality productive forces.
The event also featured screenings of CMG-produced programs, including an amazing martial arts performance presented by a dozen humanoid robots with young Kungfu artists at the recently staged Spring Festival Gala, China's most-watched TV show.
The dialogue series will be held in countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
