The peaceful liberation of Xinjiang took place in September 1949. In October 1949, the
Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party established its Xinjiang branch.
Peng Dehuai convened the inaugural plenary meeting of the Founding Assembly of the Xinjiang Provincial People's Government on December 17, 1949, officially announcing the establishment of the '''Xinjiang Provincial People's Government'''. Simultaneously, the
Xinjiang Military District was established, and in January 1950, the 14th Political Affairs Conference of the Central People's Government sanctioned the "Current Policy of the Xinjiang Provincial People's Government Committee." In 1955, Xinjiang was rebranded as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. == Organization ==
