Abstract
Fanghuiju is a special ‘soft’ governance approach currently undertaken for local rural and urban communities by the Xinjiang authority. The overall goal of the Fanghuiju Project is to ensure that local cadres understand people’s ways of life, to help improve people’s well-being and win their hearts. Ideological and legal education, social stability, social assistance, development of local economies, and organization building are the main tasks and are fulfilled well to some extent. ‘Being relatives’ and bilingual education are two important auxiliary measures that play a vital role in the future of local people. While it needs some improvement, the Fanghuiju Project has highlighted its immense value by benefitting both the local residents and XUAR bureaucracy. Its value also shows better internal governance is far more important to Xinjiang’s future than merely purging the influences of external forces and extremism.
