CGTN: 60 years on, how China’s Xizang achieves all-round progress in development, prosperity
On the 60th anniversary of the founding of China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, CGTN published an article highlighting the region’s remarkable social and economic progress over the past six decades. The article emphasizes that Xizang, under President Xi Jinping’s leadership, has experienced unprecedented development and significant changes, with people enjoying increasingly tangible benefits.
A grand gathering to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of China’s Xizang Autonomous Region was held at the Potala Palace square in Lhasa on Thursday morning. Chinese President Xi Jinping joined around 20,000 local officials and people from all ethnic groups and all walks of life in the celebration.
Dressed in festive attire, crowds waved red flags and flower bouquets, extending a warm welcome to President Xi, who was also presented with a hada – a scarf-like white silk used by people in Xizang to show respect and blessings.
In a historic first for both the Party and the country, Xi led a central delegation to attend events marking the anniversary of the founding of the Xizang Autonomous Region as general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission.
Hearing work reports from the CPC Xizang regional committee and the regional government on Wednesday, Xi urged efforts to build a modern socialist new Xizang that is united, prosperous, civilized, harmonious and beautiful, calling on the region to advance high-quality development and continue to make solid efforts on the four main tasks of ensuring stability, facilitating development, protecting the eco-environment and strengthening the borders.
Profound changes
Kala Village of Xizang’s Nyingchi City was once an impoverished and isolated village, where logging, herding and growing highland barley were the main means of livelihood for the villagers.
The turning point came in 2015 when a paired assistance team from Guangdong Province, tasked with aiding Xizang, took full advantage of the village’s cultural and tourism resources, identifying tourism featuring peach blossom as the breakthrough point to accelerate the village’s development.
In 1998, villagers earned 2,000 yuan (around $276) from tourism, while in 2024, Kala Village welcomed over 110,000 visitors savoring the peach blossoms, with tourism revenue topping 3.7 million yuan. From relying solely on its natural resources to developing a thriving “peach blossom economy,” Kala Village’s vibrant practice of rural revitalization has made it a microcosm of Xizang’s broader progress.
Since 2012, Xi has elevated Xizang’s strategic position to a new level, and presided over two central symposiums on work in Xizang, defining guiding principles, objectives and tasks in the new era. To date, Xizang has experienced a period of unprecedented development and momentous change, with people enjoying more and more tangible benefits. It showcases the remarkable success of China’s system of regional ethnic autonomy.
Figures highlight Xizang’s historic progress in economic and social development. The region’s GDP hit 276.5 billion yuan in 2024, 154 times that of 1965, reaching an average annual growth rate of 8.9 percent. The per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents increased from 456 yuan and 108 yuan respectively in 1965 to 55,444 yuan and 21,578 yuan in 2024.
Notably, the region has eliminated millennia-old absolute poverty and realized a moderately prosperous society in all respects alongside the rest of the nation. The transformation of people’s daily lives is evident – moving from buckets of water, oil lamps and dirt paths to running tap water, electric lights and paved roads. Xizang residents now have access to services such as the internet, rail and air travel.
Governing Xizang, ensuring its stability and promoting its prosperity must begin with maintaining political and social stability, ethnic unity and amity among different religions, Xi pointed out during Wednesday’s meeting.
Building a modern socialist new Xizang
In addition to the peach blossom economy, Kala Village has also diversified its income sources through ways such as the introduction of fruit-picking gardens and organized planting and breeding projects, forging a path to prosperity that achieves a win-win result between ecological conservation and economic development.
How to promote Xizang’s high-quality development? Xi pinpointed during Wednesday’s meeting: “Xizang needs to develop competitive plateau industries based on local conditions, with a particular focus on industries of agriculture and animal husbandry with local features, as well as the clean energy sector.”
In recent years, the region has continued to enhance its distinctive and advantageous industries such as cultural tourism, agriculture and animal husbandry, digital technology and Tibetan medicine, and accelerated the cultivation of emerging industries such as plateau light industry.
Green development is also a benefit to people’s livelihood. The region has always prioritized eco-environmental conservation and has become one of the world’s healthiest eco-environment regions.
In Wednesday’s meeting, Xi called on the region to promote ecological conservation, and to make coordinated efforts to cut carbon emissions, reduce pollution, expand green development and pursue economic growth, so as to protect “the roof of the world” and “the water tower of Asia.”

Press Release
How Scientologys Social Programs Mobilize Volunteers and Deliver Local Impact Across Europe
The Church of Scientology carries out a wide range of humanitarian programs across Europe—from drug prevention and human-rights education to disaster relief and community training. Rooted in the vision of Founder L. Ron Hubbard and led globally by David Miscavige, these initiatives are coordinated in Europe by Ivan Arjona-Pelado and mobilize thousands of volunteers. With free educational materials, practical training, and partnerships at the local level, Scientology’s social programs are leaving a tangible positive impact on European communities while fostering a culture of service and volunteering.
From drug education and human-rights literacy to disaster relief and community skills training, the Church of Scientology supports a set of social initiatives designed to be practical, free to use, and volunteer-driven. In Europe, these programs operate through local churches and partners, with volunteers distributing educational materials, hosting workshops, and deploying to emergencies.
A suite of programs with a civic focus
Scientology’s humanitarian initiatives include the Truth About Drugs campaign (delivered through Foundation for a Drug-Free World), Youth for Human Rights/United for Human Rights, The Way to Happiness (a nonreligious code of common-sense precepts by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard), Applied Scholastics (study skills), Criminon (criminal rehabilitation), Narconon (drug rehabilitation), and the Volunteer Ministers (VMs) network for disaster response and community support. According to Church sources, all are offered as free educational programs and made available in multiple languages both online and in print.
The Foundation for a Drug-Free World reports that more than 62 million Truth About Drugs booklets have been distributed worldwide, while the campaign’s public-service announcements have been broadcast in over 120 countries.
Where Europe sees it on the ground
The Volunteer Ministers—recognizable by their yellow shirts—have provided aid at European disasters and community events, often in cooperation with local authorities and NGOs. In Italy, for example, VMs working alongside the civil protection association Pro.Civi.Co.S have been active at major emergencies from the L’Aquila and Amatrice earthquakes to deployments in Albania and Croatia, and volunteers where also extremely active in Czech Republic floods as well as in Valencia (Spain) for the DANA.
In everyday civic life, volunteers run public pavilions and free skills seminars. In late 2024, VMs in Bucharest offered courses in nineteen practical subjects derived from the Scientology Handbook, with training and materials available in Romanian.
Drug-education volunteers have also been visible in European city centers, festivals, and sports events. During the Paris 2024 Olympics, Drug-Free World teams distributed more than a million Truth About Drugs booklets across iconic locations, reinforcing prevention efforts with visitors and residents alike.
For character education, The Way to Happiness—written by L. Ron Hubbard as a secular guide—has been widely used by volunteers across Europe with schools and community groups to promote civility and ethical choices.
Promoting a culture of volunteering
The Church of Scientology actively encourages volunteering through its Volunteer Ministers program, created by L. Ron Hubbard in the mid-1970s. Guided by the motto “Something can be done about it,” the initiative promotes service as a personal responsibility. Training is provided free of charge through nineteen Volunteer Ministers online courses covering areas such as communication, conflict resolution, and organizing. An information kit is also offered to help new volunteers start activities locally.
Leadership and European coordination
David Miscavige, Ecclesiastical Leader of the Church of Scientology and Chairman of the Board of the Religious Technology Center (RTC), is the driving force behind the expansion of these humanitarian initiatives worldwide, including the Truth About Drugs campaign, human-rights education, and the Volunteer Ministers network.
In Brussels, coordination of the Church’s European engagement is managed through the European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights, which maintains dialogue with EU and Council of Europe institutions as well as United Nations in Geneva through its recognized foundation MEJORA.
A civic footprint built on free access and partnerships
Across all programs, the Church emphasizes no-cost educational materials, multilingual availability, and cooperation with community institutions. This model—producing scalable content centrally and mobilizing local volunteers to deliver it—has enabled wide distribution and recurring activities across European cities, from school presentations and public outreach to formal roundtables on rights and citizenship.
