What are the characteristics of ethnic problems in China at this stage?

In the real life of China, ethnic issues are mainly manifested in the interweaving of economic issues and political issues, practical issues and historical issues, ethnic issues and religious issues, and domestic and international issues. This has highly summarized the characteristics of ethnic problems in China at this stage. In the new century and new stage, a correct understanding of the characteristics of ethnic issues in contemporary China is of great and far-reaching significance for correctly handling ethnic issues, earnestly doing ethnic work and constantly creating a new situation in ethnic work. In order to deeply understand and understand the characteristics of ethnic problems in China at the present stage, this paper intends to make a further theoretical exposition on the "four interweaving" characteristics of ethnic problems in China at present.

First, economic and political issues are intertwined.

Accelerating the development of ethnic minorities and ethnic areas is the embodiment of the essential requirements of China's socialist cause in ethnic work, and it is also the basic starting point and destination of the party's ethnic policy. This is not only a major economic issue, but also a major political issue. Therefore, when investigating and solving ethnic problems, we should pay attention to both political issues and economic issues, and they should not be neglected.

Among ethnic issues, the interweaving of economic issues and political issues is mainly manifested in four aspects. First, political equality is the premise of economic development. The essence of solving ethnic problems is to achieve ethnic equality, which must be solved politically first. Only by realizing the political equality of all ethnic groups can we provide a good political environment for their economic development. Second, the solution of economic problems can consolidate the achievements of solving political problems. Only with the establishment of equal status among nationalities can the development of national economy develop on a healthy track. At the same time, the development of national economy will further eliminate the de facto inequality between ethnic groups, thus consolidating the development of ethnic relations in a harmonious direction. Third, the fundamental way to solve ethnic problems is to develop ethnic economy, which is the key to solve ethnic problems. Fourth, economic issues and political issues complement each other. The solution of ethnic problems is mutually influential and complementary in economy and politics. If in reality, only the solution of economic problems is emphasized while the solution of political problems is ignored, it will lead to the stagnation of economic development; Similarly, if we only pay attention to political issues and ignore economic issues, then ethnic issues cannot be solved well.

China * * * production party always deals with economic and political issues when solving domestic ethnic problems. After the founding of New China, the Central People's Government has taken various measures successively, such as sending a central ethnic delegation to visit ethnic minority areas, organizing people from all walks of life in border ethnic minority areas to visit the mainland, conducting ethnic identification and ethnic surveys, implementing regional ethnic autonomy, and carrying out democratic reform and socialist transformation, all of which are basically aimed at realizing ethnic political equality and creating good conditions for the prosperity of all ethnic groups. After democratic reform and socialist transformation, all fraternal nationalities in China have successively embarked on the socialist road, forming a new socialist ethnic relationship of unity, friendship, mutual assistance and cooperation. For more than 50 years, guided by Marxist ethnic theory and proceeding from the reality of China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has accomplished two historical tasks in dealing with ethnic issues.

First, through the reform of the social system, the backward system in the history of all ethnic groups was abolished, the liberated ethnic groups were led to the socialist road, and the people of all ethnic groups in China formed a new socialist ethnic relationship of equality, unity and mutual assistance. The second is to accelerate the economic and social development of all ethnic groups, especially ethnic minorities and ethnic areas, and promote the common prosperity of all ethnic groups through socialist construction. At present, the ethnic problems in China are mainly reflected in the urgent needs of ethnic minorities and ethnic areas to accelerate economic and social development. During this period, in terms of economic rights and interests, various ethnic groups may also have contradictions and disputes, which are often reflected in political issues. To solve these problems, we must make political efforts to solve the economic problems that appear at any time.

Second, the interweaving of realistic problems and historical problems.

Ethnic problems are historical phenomena, and their appearance is neither groundless nor sudden. It is a very complicated social phenomenon, which is closely related to the history and reality of all ethnic groups. At the same time, the history and present situation of all ethnic groups, as well as the history and present situation of ethnic relations in ethnic areas, have an extremely important impact on the emergence and changes of ethnic problems. Specifically, there are two main aspects in the embodiment of the interweaving of practical problems and historical problems on ethnic issues. First of all, the realistic problem is the continuation of the historical problem. In reality, many ethnic problems have far-reaching historical roots. Internationally, the Kosovo issue originated from the Albanian people's demand for continuing the independence movement since the Second World War. Before the founding of New China, Xinjiang issue and Tibet issue had certain social and historical background. The separatist activities and ideological trends in Tibet and Xinjiang have direct historical continuity and inheritance. Secondly, historical factors have an important influence on practical problems. In the process of the emergence and development of ethnic problems, in addition to the inheritance and continuation of history by reality, it is more important that historical factors are rediscovered in practical problems, thus having a great impact on social reality. When evaluating the world's ethnic problems, western analysts pointed out: "History is not important in fact, but it is important to make use of it."

It can be seen that the interweaving of realistic problems and historical problems not only makes ethnic problems more complicated and changeable, but also brings great difficulties to the solution of ethnic problems. Therefore, when solving the ethnic problems in contemporary China, we should not only look at the realistic manifestations of ethnic problems, but also see the historical factors contained in them and the historical roots that caused ethnic problems.

Third, ethnic issues and religious issues are intertwined.

In view of China's national conditions, it is emphasized that "there is no small matter in national religion". Ethnic and religious issues are indeed of great significance, because they are related to the spiritual life of hundreds of millions of people, the unity of all ethnic groups, the unity of the country and social stability, the consolidation and development of the patriotic United front in the new period, the construction of socialist material civilization and spiritual civilization, and international exchanges and cooperation. A correct analysis of China's ethnic and religious issues and a comprehensive and accurate interpretation of the principles and policies of the party and the government in dealing with ethnic and religious issues are important guarantees for doing a good job in ethnic work.

There is a special relationship between ethnic issues and religious issues. Although racial issues belong to different categories, they are often inseparable from religious issues. In multi-ethnic and multi-religious countries, religious issues are usually an inseparable and important part of ethnic issues. In the world, religious issues and ethnic issues interact and penetrate each other, which has become a global hot and difficult point. Ethnic conflicts in some regions and countries are often manifested in the form of religious conflicts, and the differences between religions also aggravate the barriers and disputes between ethnic groups.

The close relationship between nationality and religion is mainly manifested in three aspects. The first is the nationality of religion. From 65438 to 0953, Comrade Li, who presided over the United front work of the Central Committee, summed up the "five characteristics" of religion, one of which was the nationality of religion. Religion has nationalities, and nationalities also have religions. There is no nationality without religion in the world, and there is no religion without nationality. This is the history and reality at home and abroad.

For many ethnic groups, religious belief not only dominates people's thoughts and feelings, but also dominates or affects people's daily life, even social politics, ethics, literature and art, family and marriage in ethnic areas. At the same time, among religious believers, religious belief is the most sensitive and easily touched nerve sensor among many ethnic groups. Once stimulated by the outside world, it will react. Secondly, nationality is the carrier of religion, and religion is the main content of national culture. Nation is the carrier of religion. In most ethnic groups who believe in unified religion, religious etiquette is often organically integrated with national customs, literature and art, and moral norms, and becomes an important part of national culture. Third, religion has an important influence on ethnic issues. When ethnic issues and religious issues are intertwined, ethnic relations will also be affected if religious issues are handled carelessly or improperly. The involvement of religion intensifies the complexity and sensitivity of ethnic issues, making it difficult to solve the already complicated ethnic issues.

China is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious socialist country. Compared with some single-nation countries, ethnic and religious issues and their relations are of special importance in our social life. To correctly handle ethnic issues, we must fully implement the party's policy of freedom of religious belief, manage religious affairs according to law, adhere to the principle of independence and self-management, actively guide religion to adapt to socialist society, respect the religious beliefs of ethnic minorities, and further improve the level of managing religious affairs according to law.

Four. The interweaving of domestic and international issues

Ethnic issues generally refer to ethnic groups and ethnic relations within a country, which is purely an internal affair of a country. Originally, it did not belong to the main content of international politics. However, after the end of the Cold War, the rise of global nationalism made the ethnic problems of some countries break through national boundaries and enter the world political arena. Especially in recent years, western hegemonic countries, under the pretext of international protection of human rights of ethnic minorities, advocated that human rights are superior to subjective rights, and carried out so-called humanitarian intervention in the world for their own interests, which not only aggravated the turmoil in the regional situation and the internationalization of ethnic issues, but also challenged the long-established basic norms of international relations such as "inviolability of sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs" to some extent.

The internationalization of ethnic issues is mainly manifested in four aspects. First of all, the deterioration and intensification of ethnic contradictions have led to domestic political turmoil, which has seriously hindered the healthy and stable development of the domestic economy and people's lives. Secondly, it has triggered tensions between relevant countries and seriously affected regional peace and security. For example, the armed conflict in the Great Lakes region of Africa, on the one hand, the Democratic Republic of Congo has been plunged into war in recent years, and the country's economic construction cannot be carried out normally; On the other hand, it is also in a state of tension and hostility with neighboring countries such as Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda. Third, the major powers and international organizations concerned interfere in other countries' internal affairs under the pretext, which has seriously affected international relations. The Kosovo war is a typical example. Finally, extreme nationalism is rampant. International terrorism guided by ultra-nationalism has seriously hindered international exchanges and cooperation, while violent conflicts and ethnic vendettas against foreigners and immigrants have also kept some countries and regions in a state of turmoil for a long time, making it difficult to effectively implement economic cooperation between countries.

The internationalization of ethnic issues has a profound international and domestic background. Internationally, the first is the development and evolution of international power comparison. Since the 1990s, a wave of nationalism has arisen around the world, which is an emotional response to the collapse of the socialist system in Eastern Europe and an inevitable product of the new situation after the collapse of the Cold War. Because of the end of the Cold War, countries that were originally controlled or influenced by the United States and the Soviet Union got rid of it, and national consciousness, national sovereignty and national interests rose to the dominant will of the country. With the contraction of the Soviet Union's strategic power and the weakening of its foreign influence, the western forces led by the United States quickly squeezed into Eastern Europe to support the nationalist forces in the region and oppose the countries that still adhere to socialist ideology. The disintegration of Yugoslavia and the Kosovo War are closely related to the interference of western powers such as the United States, Britain, Germany and France. Second, economic globalization has led to a rebound in nationalism. Economic globalization has deepened the interdependence of all ethnic groups in the world. With the new technological revolution and the development of productive forces, the world is becoming smaller and smaller, and the funds, goods and services of various countries are flowing more and more internationally, impacting the traditional territorial consciousness of countries and nations at any time and anywhere. Third, the interference of external forces. The existence of cross-border ethnic groups makes the international joint struggle of the same ethnic group living in different countries continue, which has an unprecedented impact on the traditional concept of national sovereignty and stimulated the rebound of nationalism and the internationalization of ethnic issues. At home, first of all, the wrong ethnic policy led to the development of nationalist forces. The problem of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe lies in ignoring the role and influence of nationalism, replacing their respective national interests with the interests of the same class, obliterating national culture and national characteristics, and thus stimulating national contradictions. Second, the distribution of benefits in the economic field is unfair and the development between regions is uneven. The imbalance of economic development among regions in China often leads to the demand for more autonomy in economically developed regions, while the backward regions complain that the central government (or ruling ethnic groups) has invested too little in themselves, which will naturally lead to the deepening and intensification of ethnic conflicts for a long time. Third, democratization should be carried out in isolation from the national conditions. In some third world countries, democratization is not a natural requirement of their own development to a certain stage, but is realized overnight under the influence of western countries.

Yes, it often leads to a country and a political party. This improper democratization often leads to the generalization and enlargement of ethnic problems. Racial riots and armed conflicts between tribes in many African countries are proof of this. In addition, the attraction and tenacious vitality of nationalism itself is also an important reason for the current wave of nationalism and its ethnic conflicts around the world.

As far as the specific situation of China is concerned, the interweaving of domestic and foreign issues is manifested in cross-border ethnic and national security. The existence of cross-border ethnic groups has an important impact on ethnic relations and ethnic issues in China, as well as the relations between China and neighboring countries, and even threatens national security.

In a word, the ethnic problem is an extremely complicated social phenomenon, the society is constantly developing and changing, and the ethnic problem also has a specific corresponding form and content with the development and change of the society. Therefore, the investigation of ethnic issues should also have a dynamic vision and see the times of ethnic issues. Only in this way, when dealing with ethnic issues, can we keep pace with the times and do a good job in ethnic work.
