However, there are some issues to be noted. For instance, the industrial development has great potential to be tapped, the quality of development needs to be improved, the industrial development is unbalanced, the spatial layout needs to be optimized, the cultural consumption is not strong, the market needs to be expanded and the construction of industrial factors remains to be enforced. Therefore, in the new era, to implement the major deployment of promoting cultural industry development put forward in the 19th CPC National Congress, the following policy options are made for Xinjiang’s future development. Efforts need to be made to revitalize the distinctive cultural resources and promote the development of cultural industry with distinctive features; optimize the industrial spatial structure and establish pilot culture-based industrial parks; build industrial service platforms and allocate factor resources across the country in an efficient manner; press forward the construction of the cultural and trade network in line with the Belt and Road Initiative and encourage the cultural industry to participate in and cooperate with foreign cultural projects.
