URUMQI — Chen Wenqing, a senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official, stressed the need of persisting in law-based crackdowns on violent and terrorist crimes and maintaining social stability in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
Chen, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during an investigation and research tour in Xinjiang from Wednesday to Sunday.
