Changji, Karamay, Bayingolin, Hami, and Turpan have a relatively high proportion of secondary industries, while other prefectures and cities are mainly dominated by the tertiary industry, but the proportion of the tertiary industry varies significantly [30]. 3.2.2 Fiscal Strength and Government Debt - In 2024, the general public budget revenue of all prefectures and cities in Xinjiang increased, but the growth rate slowed down. Most prefectures and cities' government - funded revenue increased, but the scale was relatively small. Urumqi had the largest general public budget revenue and government - funded revenue. The fiscal self - sufficiency rate varied greatly among regions, and superior subsidies accounted for a high proportion of comprehensive fiscal revenue, with more subsidies going to the southern region [33][34]. - In 2024, the local government debt balance of all prefectures and cities in Xinjiang increased.

Group 2: Structural Issues - The debt structure in Anhui is deemed unreasonable, with over half of the debt attributed to platform companies and more than 70% of legal debt being special bonds [7][6]. - Platform companies face significant risks due to high levels of hidden debt and their deep ties to the real estate market, which could lead to systemic risks [7][6]. - The proportion of special debt in total local government debt has risen, with special debt accounting for about 68% of total local government debt as of September this year [7][8]. Group 3: Regional Disparities - There is a notable regional disparity in debt risks within Anhui, particularly in the northern regions, which have a higher proportion of municipalities classified as high-risk [9][6]. - The article indicates that while financial support for debt resolution is outlined at the national level, local implementation remains cautious, leading to a tightening of financing channels for platform companies [9][6].
