辛亥革命后,杨增新接替袁大化出任新疆首任都督。在主政新疆期间,他实行无为而治的内政政策,新疆发展缓慢。但在外交方面,为维护国家利益他坚持平等对话的原则,解决了一系列与俄(苏)间的外交难题,较好地维护了国家的权益。 After the Revolution of 1911, Yang Zengxin succeeded Yuan Dahua as the first governor of Xinjiang. During his tenure in Xinjiang, he practiced a policy of doing nothing by doing internal affairs, and his development in Xinjiang was sluggish. However, on the diplomatic front, he insisted on the principle of equal dialogues for the sake of safeguarding the national interests, solved a series of diplomatic problems with Russia (the Soviet Union), and defended the rights and interests of the country well.
