The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region takes up about a sixth of the total land area of China. Really! Xinjiang alone occupies 1.66mil sq km, which is truly massive. It also has over 5,400km of land bordering eight countries.

Recently, Xinjiang was in talks with Russia and Kazakhstan to open a super canal that will link China to Central Asia and Europe. I believe this is by no means an impossible dream – China can make it!
