Effective Practice to Establish Consciousness of the Chinese National Community—Take Poverty Alleviation in Ethnic Border Areas As An Example

Abstract

Since ancient times, China has been a unified multi-ethnic country. In the course of thousands of years of Chinese history, all ethnic groups have jointly opened up the vast territory of China, jointly written Chinese history, jointly created Chinese culture, and jointly formed the great spirit of the Chinese nation. In the more than 70 years since the founding of Chinese People’s Republic of China, the Communist Party of China has always treated ethnic equality as one of the fundamental principles of founding the country and established the system of regional ethnic autonomy. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has proposed to “forge a strong sense of community among the Chinese people” as the main line of ethnic work in the new era, and to take the decisive battle to get rid of poverty as an important task, to enable people of all ethnic groups in the deep poverty-stricken areas of “three regions and three prefectures” (The “three regions” refers to Tibet, four prefectures of southern Xinjiang—Hotan, Aksu, Kashi, and the Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture of Kizilsu, and the areas of Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, and Qinghai provinces with large Tibetan populations; the “three prefectures” are Liangshan in Sichuan, Nujiang in Yunnan, and Linxia in Gansu.)”to work with people of the whole country to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
