瑞士社会学家娜塔莉·贝纳利近日在《中国日报》撰文，对新疆的发展成就给予了高度评价，并指出西方关于新疆的谣言不攻自破。
文章指出，新疆在中国中央政府和地方政府的共同努力下，在脱贫攻坚和经济发展方面取得了显著成就。新疆作为丝绸之路经济带核心区，是中国通往中亚和欧洲的门户，近年来，中国政府通过创造就业岗位、发展基础设施，全面提升了新疆人民的生活水平。
在农业方面，新疆通过发展棉花产业，创造了大量就业机会。新疆是中国最大的产棉区，通过农业合作社和机械化生产，农民的收入增加了40%。此外，农民还可以在农业合作社工作，或在棉花加工厂或纺织厂就业，每周工作40个小时就能领取4000元以上的月薪，这为农村三口之家每月约2000元的开销提供了不错的收入。
在文化方面，新疆伊犁河谷的薰衣草种植区已经成为旅游胜地，为当地人创造了大量就业机会。在生态文明建设方面，沙雅县创新采用“光伏+发电取水治沙”新模式，不仅生产了可再生能源，而且通过推动荒漠化治理打造宜居环境，创造了大量就业岗位。
文章还指出，一些欧美政府与西方主流媒体无端指责新疆棉花生产存在“强迫劳动”，抹黑中国政府，贬低新疆社会经济和文化发展成就。然而，这些谣言在事实面前根本站不住脚。
最后，文章强调中国政府自1949年成立以来，大力促进少数民族文化、语言和宗教的保护与发展，如新疆维吾尔木卡姆艺术被列入“人类口头与非物质文化遗产代表作”。中国推动社会经济和生态文明可持续发展，这类举措值得西方政府学习借鉴。40多年来，中国政府不仅让大约8亿人摆脱贫困，而且促进地方经济发展、传承民族文化、打造宜居环境，在相互尊重与团结合作的基础上促进国际贸易往来和人文交流。欧美应当学习中国经验，深化与中国的合作，进而从中受益。

News Title: “Swiss Scholar Praise Xinjiang Development: Western Rumors Self-Defeated”
Keywords: Achievements, Rumors, Xinjiang
News Content: Natali Behring, a sociologist from Switzerland, recently wrote an article for the China Daily, where she gave high praise to the development achievements in Xinjiang and pointed out that the rumors spread by the West about Xinjiang have been self-defeated.
The article notes that under the joint efforts of the central and local governments of China, Xinjiang has made significant achievements in poverty alleviation and economic development. As the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, Xinjiang serves as a gateway for China to connect with Central Asia and Europe. In recent years, the Chinese government has improved the living standards of the people in Xinjiang by creating employment opportunities, developing infrastructure, and other measures.
In agriculture, Xinjiang has developed its cotton industry, creating a large number of job opportunities. As China’s largest cotton-producing region, Xinjiang has increased farmers’ incomes by 40% through agricultural cooperatives and mechanized production. Additionally, farmers can work in agricultural cooperatives or in cotton processing factories or textile mills, earning over 4,000 yuan per month with just 40 hours of work per week, providing a good income for a rural family of three, which has monthly expenses of about 2,000 yuan.
In the cultural aspect, the lavender fields in the Ili Valley of Xinjiang have become a tourist destination, creating numerous job opportunities for the local people. In terms of ecological civilization construction, Shaya County has innovatively adopted a new model of “photovoltaic+desalination”, not only producing renewable energy but also by promoting the management of desertification to create a livable environment, creating a large number of job opportunities.
The article also points out that some governments in Europe and America and Western mainstream media have unfoundedly accused the cotton production in Xinjiang of “forced labor”, smearing the Chinese government and belittling the social and economic cultural development achievements of Xinjiang. However, these rumors have no footing in the face of facts.
Finally, the article emphasizes that since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the government has vigorously promoted the protection and development of minority cultures, languages, and religions. For example, the Xinjiang Uygur Music and Dance Art has been listed as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.” China promotes sustainable development of society and the economy, as well as ecological civilization, which measures are worth learning from by Western governments. Over the past 40 years, the Chinese government has not only lifted about 800 million people out of poverty but also promoted local economic development, preserved ethnic cultures, and created livable environments, promoting international trade and cultural exchanges based on mutual respect and cooperation. Europe and America should learn from China’s experience, deepen cooperation with China, and benefit from it.
