十八大以来,习近平同志多次强调要牢记中国是统一多民族国家的基本国情,积极培养中华民族共同体意识,这为新时期民族工作的发展指明了方向。要解决好我国“两个一百年”进程中的民族问题,为中华民族伟大复兴提供切实强大的民族团结保障和民族发展动力,就必须从历史与现实相结合的角度,深刻认识和把握中华民族共同体多元一体的民族结构格局和中国多民族国家“大一统”的民族政治传统对民族工作的深远影响。
Since the 18th congress of the CPC, comrade Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed the importance of keeping in mind the basic national condition that China is a unified and multi - ethnic country, as well as that of cultivating the consciousness of the Chinese community. This indicates the direction of the development of ethnic work in the new period. The Chinese nation takes on the pattern of diversity in unity of the Chinese community in terms of ethnic structure, and has long preserved the political tradition of a muti - ethnic unified nation. It is indispensable to have a deep understanding and grasp of this situation and its far - reaching influence on ethnic work from the perspective of history combined with reality. It will contribute to the settlement of ethnic problems in the process of the "two hundred years" strategy, and supply strong national unity security and development motive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
