China’s State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has instructed centrally controlled state-owned enterprises to expand “industrial aid” to the Tibet Autonomous Region. The guidance, issued this week, calls on SOEs to step up infrastructure spending, accelerate flagship projects such as the Yaxia Hydropower station and the Sichuan–Tibet Railway, and create more jobs for local residents, particularly recent college graduates. The push in Tibet coincided with a Politburo meeting on 29 August, chaired by President Xi Jinping, that reviewed a draft law aimed at advancing ethnic unity and adopted new regulations on ideological and political work. The leadership also ordered stronger disaster-relief efforts and workplace-safety measures, underscoring Beijing’s broader drive to tighten party oversight while promoting development in minority regions.
