One-hundred fifteen terrorist cells were eliminated in the past six months in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, stopping most
terrorist attacks before they could be undertaken, local media reported. So far, the region has dealt with 44 cases involving
explosives instruction via the Internet, 294 cases related to the distribution of violent audiovisual materials and four cases relating
to the spread of rumors. During the effort, 171 religious training sites were shut down, and 238 people who arranged training
facilities were detained.

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group opened three online malls on Monday to help sell more specialties from the Xinjiang Uygur
autonomous region to the rest of China and the world. Announcing the move, Jack Ma, founder and executive chairman of the group,
said it is a part of the agreement Alibaba Group signed with the regional government on Sunday that aims to develop better ecommerce, cloud computing and big data analysis in Xinjiang." Alibaba now has more than 600 million users, and I believe many of
them want us to deepen the cooperation with Xinjiang. We could sell cherries from the United States to the Chinese market, of
course, but we could sell more local products from Xinjiang to the rest of China and even the world, "Ma said when he met Zhang
Chunxian, Party chief of Xinjiang in the regional capital of Urumqi.
