URUMQI, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region saw 197.2 billion yuan (about 28.31 billion U.S. dollars) of imports and exports to member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in the first 11 months of 2019, up 6.8 percent year on year.
In the period, Xinjiang's exports to the EAEU member states reached 127 billion yuan, up 8.1 percent year on year, while its imports totaled 70.2 billion yuan, up 4.4 percent, according to Urumqi Customs.
