With the recent 1 billion tonnes of oil found in Tarim Basin I wonder whether China could create another new oil city in the area following the model of Korla

The main Xinjiang unrest came from the Kashgar Hotan Aksu triangle because they are located in the western region of Xinjiang and the entire region has an overwhelming Uighur majority.

A new city with Han/Hui/Kazakh majority located in the middle of these areas would be the thing China needs to maintain a firm control over the western region.

It is not cost effective to extract from the newly discovered deposit. It is better to save it for national emergency.

I recently saw a video which stated China's protectionism policy in the automotive sector will be removed next year, meaning foreigners can own 100% of car companies in China from next year

Anybody knows what this will mean? Will we see a consolidation? Hopefully it creates a few national champions like Toyota or Kia and gets rid of all the crappy "Roewe", "Maxus", "Weiwang", "Ruili" nonsense

It is to incentivize foreign investor and delay decoupling. Big businesses who want a piece of the pie will lobby their respective governments hard. How effective it is remains to be seen.

@siegecrossbow its a good ploy , ICE will be obsolete by 2030 therefore most of those new investment will focus on EV, improving China tech base and local supply chain. Sir gov't infrastructure investment are bearing fruits that is the reason why China is so attractive to foreign investor, by accommodating and incentivize them China will captured a large chunk of the global EV market and become a major producer and supplier. Just look at Tesla and what it did in invigorating the Chinese EV market.

Japanese brands should be excluded.
