On 21 March 2016, the government of the Chinese province Xinjiang announced a new subsidy fund for the local textile industry. The state aid will be mainly directed at rent-free factories and transportation subsidies.
The deputy secretary-general of the province was cited saying that the fund should increase exports of textiles to Central Asia, Western Asia, Europe and Russia.
A state measure in the GTA database is assessed solely in terms of the extent to which its implementation affects the extent of discrimination against foreign commercial interests. On this metric, the state aid proposed here is discriminatory.
