The Reasons for Implementing the System of Regional National Autonomy in China

1, China has long been a centralized and unified country in history. In the long-term historical development, all ethnic groups in China have gradually merged into the Chinese nation.

2. For a long time, the ethnic distribution in China has been dominated by large mixed communities and small settlements. Long-term economic and cultural ties have formed ethnic relations that are only suitable for cooperation and mutual assistance but not for separation.

3. China's population, resource distribution and economic and cultural development are unbalanced. Only by implementing the system of regional ethnic autonomy can it be conducive to the development of all ethnic groups and the prosperity of the country.

4. Since 1840, all ethnic groups in China have faced the same task and destiny of fighting against imperialism and feudalism and striving for national liberation. In the long-term struggle against foreign enemies and for national independence and liberation, the people of all ethnic groups in China have established close relations of unity and unity.

Formed an inseparable political identity. This has laid a solid political and social foundation for the establishment of a unified new China and the implementation of regional ethnic autonomy in ethnic minority areas.
