Xinjiang Military District (新疆军区) is a special military area of the PLA at the Theater Deputy-grade (副战区级). It is one of three districts (Tibet and Beijing being the other two) that are directly under the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission rather than under their Theater Command (in this case, the Western Theater Command).
The district includes all of Xinjiang, plus the Ngari district of Tibet. It has also direct military jurisdiction over the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC).
