Chinese state-owned enterprises are being instructed to ramp up their industrial aid initiatives in Tibet. The Chinese state assets regulator highlighted the need for increased infrastructure investment and the development of industries that align with Tibet's unique geographical conditions.

Major projects, such as the world's largest hydropower plant on the Yarlung Zangbo River and a new railway line connecting Tibet to Sichuan, are being encouraged. The initiative, following President Xi Jinping's visit to Tibet last week, is aimed at significantly improving local livelihoods and fostering national unity.
