The influence of national unity on economic development and social progress

Building a harmonious society is closely related to ethnic relations in China, which are mutually conditional and complementary. Harmonious ethnic relations are the necessary condition and important content of a harmonious society, and also the proper meaning of a harmonious society. Harmonious society provides institutional guarantee for harmonious ethnic relations. 1. In the historical process of building a harmonious socialist society, we cannot ignore two basic facts: 1. China is a unified multi-ethnic socialist country, and the population of ethnic minorities has exceeded 1 billion, reaching the population of a big country. In such a multi-ethnic country, it is of great significance for the long-term stability of the country to deal with ethnic relations, especially the relationship between the Han nationality and ethnic minorities. 2. Second, the area of ethnic autonomous areas in China accounts for 64% of the total area of the country, and the stability of this half of the country is very important to the stability of the country. Without national harmony, there will be no social harmony. Talking about reform, development and stability can only be empty talk, and the goal of building a harmonious society will be difficult to achieve. A harmonious socialist society should include the harmony between people, country and country, people and society, and people and nature. Only by realizing the harmony between the two can we achieve a truly perfect harmony. Harmony is the essential feature of socialist ethnic relations. The harmony of ethnic relations includes the harmony between Han nationality and ethnic minorities, the harmony between ethnic minorities and the harmony within ethnic groups. When we talk about people's unity, territorial integrity and national unity, we all take the unity of all ethnic groups as the premise. Without the unity of all ethnic groups, our country will fall into turmoil and division, and China will not be China. It should be noted that we have many favorable conditions in strengthening national unity and building a harmonious society. 1. First, national unity in China has a profound historical foundation. In the long historical process, various ethnic groups in China have gradually formed a distribution pattern of large mixed residence and small settlement, and various ethnic groups have formed an inseparable relationship in the long-term communication process, gradually forming a pattern of pluralistic integration of the Chinese nation. Historically, all ethnic groups have had friendly exchanges, valued harmony politically and repaired each other; Economically exchange needed commodities and influence each other; Cultural harmony is different and brings out the best in each other. As a result, the Chinese nation has formed a strong cohesive force, and the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation has been passed down from generation to generation and continuously carried forward, becoming a powerful spiritual bond that maintains the Chinese nation for a long time. This is our precious spiritual wealth to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation under the new historical conditions. 2. Second, since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, our party has combined Marxism–Leninism's basic principles with China's concrete practice, formulated a set of ethnic theories and policies, successfully solved domestic ethnic problems, and embarked on a correct road to solve ethnic problems with China characteristics. The economy and society in ethnic minority areas have made great progress, the living standards of people of all ethnic groups have been greatly improved, the advantages of the socialist system and the system of regional ethnic autonomy have been better brought into play, and the socialist ethnic relations of equality, unity, mutual assistance and harmony have been continuously consolidated and developed. The idea that the Han people can't live without ethnic minorities, ethnic minorities can't live without the Han people, and ethnic minorities can't live without each other is increasingly popular. This provides a solid foundation for us to strengthen national unity and build a harmonious society under the new situation. 3. Third, with the development of economy and society and the improvement of national quality, the consistency of patriotism, socialism, collectivism and fundamental interests of all ethnic groups is increasing, and the recognition and pursuit of the ideal goal of a harmonious society is increasing. * * * Hand in hand and common prosperity have become the main theme of ethnic work in the new era, inspiring people of all ethnic groups to create a better future. This is a powerful driving force for us to build a harmonious socialist society. The above are some analyses of the favorable conditions for strengthening national unity and building a harmonious socialist society under the new situation.
