People may make a little bit less money than the rest of China, but everything is super cheap, housing price is incredibly low and food is so cheap, their standard of living could be actually higher than developed regions in China.

Xinjiang has one of most advance agri-industry in China. Despite now having much fertile land, her food productivity is among the top per unit area.

The reason is -- the presence of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.

People may make a little bit less money than the rest of China, but everything is super cheap, housing price is incredibly low and food is so cheap, their standard of living could be actually higher than developed regions in China.

Buffet in Xinjiang Urumqi, 11 $ and all you can eat

Cost of living in Xinjiang is incredibly cheap!!! even in big cities in Xinjiang. I think although they make less than in-land Chinese cities but the quality of life can be on par or even higher.

Chinese inflation is very low.

That's why per capita income doesn't really refect what kind of life you can live, in some countries you make 10000$ per month but still can't make your ends meet, but in Xinjiang 2000$ per month and you live a pretty good life.

Food variety is not even nearly as many as the Urumqi one, let alone the eating environmnet, your photo is just like a crappy street diner while Urumqi one is nothing short of a top 5 star hotel with all kinds of food and drinks for you to pick.

Bcs in CN they used GM food, its cheap but toxic causing millions kind of disease

JANUARY 23, 2020
Chinese officials this week announced that genetically modified (GM) corn and soybean species have passed biosafety evaluations, moving the world’s most populous country closer to the commercialization of those two GM crops.

According to reports in Chinese state-run media, two GM corn varieties and a soybean variety were among a total of 192 GM traits to have been approved earlier this month. The list of new GM traits was then subject to a 15-day period of public feedback, which according to Reuters concluded with no objections.

The new soybean variety is herbicide-resistant while the two new corn varieties are resistant to both herbicides and pests. The latter is a major concern for Chinese farmers after the recent arrival of the fall armyworm. The invasive pest species has decimated crops across Africa for years and more recently spread to Asia, reaching India in late 2018, and was first detected in China in January 2019. Chinese officials expressed concerns last month that the pest would deal a serious blow to farmers, with the country’s National Agriculture Technology Extension Service Center calling the situation “extremely grave”.

GMO is not only different from nature but also very dangerous. They can lead to allergies, toxins, new diseases and nutritional problems

Urumqi buffet restaurant in the video is one of the top, most fancy buffet restaurants in Xinjiang and you pay 11$ and then it's all you can eat, if you go to small towns or villages in Xinjiang it'll be much much cheaper.
This Uighur young guy tried all the food of a whole food street in a small town in Xinjiang, he paid barely 50 RMB, or 7$.
