The saline-alkali land governance and comprehensive utilization exhibit significant spatio-temporal heterogeneity and generational technological characteristics. It is important to understand if this new model can work globally. This study systematically analyzed the salt control governance technological achievements in Xinjiang over the past century, selected 11 influencing factors, including land use etc., and adopted the AHP-spatial weighted superposition analysis method to evaluate the global applicability of the 'Xinjiang Model'. The results indicate that the core of saline-alkali land governance in Xinjiang is the multi-element coordinated regulation with water as the link and mulched drip irrigation as the technical feature. Spanning the 'Natural Adaptation Period,' 'Engineering Control Period,' 'Technology-Driven Period,' and 'Ecological Integration Period.' As a result, Mulched drip irrigation can achieve a desalination rate of 60% (0-10 cm soil layer). Models such as "fishery salt reduction", "hydraulic salt displacement" and "biological-ecological coordinated salt control" have significantly improved land use and ecological conditions. The proportion of "highly suitable" regions in Asia (40%) and Africa is the largest (39%), while the proportion of "unsuitable" regions in Europe is the highest (99%). For the new era, the saline-alkali land governance must transition from a focus on "salt control" to "salt utilization," from "mutual exclusion" to "symbiosis," and embrace other innovative paradigms. This study provides effective reference for the saline-alkali land governance and resource utilization in global arid regions such as Central Asia and North Africa.
