Xinjiang to get US$21m investment

THE Chinese government has allocated 130 million yuan (US$21 million) to fund the development of e-commerce in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The money will be given to seven e-business demonstration counties, including Aksu County and Minfeng County, the regional financial department announced yesterday.

Earlier in the year, the government allocated 2 billion yuan to 200 counties in central and western provinces that were chosen as demonstration areas for piloting rural e-commerce.

The funds will be used to support the construction of e-commerce service centers in counties and villages, the development of logistics systems for e-commerce, and to help train local officials, enterprises and farmers on the basics of e-commerce.
