Scene of Economic
Development of Xizang (Tibet) :
The economy and transportation in old
Xizang (Tibet) were very backward. There
was no modern industry, only animal
husbandry and a little agriculture and
handicrafts.
After the democratic reform in 1959
economic construction quickened,
particularly after the implementation of
the reform and opening policy in 1979.
Not only were modern industries and
transportation and telecommunications
facilities established: the agriculture,
animal husbandry and commerce already in
place developed rapidly.

Economic Policies:
Since the early 1950s
the state has been giving special
support to Tibetan economic development.
It has allocated large amounts of
financial subsidies, subsidized special
projects and invested in key
construction projects. It has also sent
a large amount material aid to Xizang
(Tibet) Since the beginning of the 1980s
such special aid has been increasing
every year. The central government has
allocated one billion yuan in financial
subsidies to Xizang (Tibet) every year.
It has also arranged for state
departments and other provinces,
municipalities and autonomous regions to
give Xizang (Tibet) manpower and
material, financial and technological
aid, in an attempt to bolster the
Tibetan economy and improve the people's
livelihood. Over the last 40 years the
central government has spent more than
35 billion yuan in Xizang (Tibet) on
financial subsidies and investment in
key construction projects. |
