China has decided to offer students from the southern areas of Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region bonus points that will be added to the total scores of their national college examination, also known as gaokao, to give them a better chance of obtaining a place at a college or university.
The Xinjiang branch of the State Grid Corporation of China will invest 201.9 billion yuan to improve the power grid in the region from 2016 to 2020.
