Initiative is an extremely important thing. The initiative is to "build from a high vantage" and "be like a bamboo". The "Resolution of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Centennial Struggle" shows that as long as we grasp the historical characteristics of the new great struggle, seize and make good use of the historical opportunities, play a good game of chess, take the initiative, carry forward the spirit of struggle, enhance the ability to struggle, and unite the will and strength of the whole party and the people of the whole country, we will certainly be able to overcome all foreseeable and unforeseeable risks and challenges. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has firmly grasped the initiative in the struggle with a high degree of historical consciousness and historical initiative, and has created a new situation in China's ethnic work and ethnic regional work with a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation as the main line.
With a high degree of historical consciousness, we should open up a new realm of the party's national theory.
Today's world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and at the same time, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has become unstoppable. Standing in a new historical position of time and space, we have continuously combined Marxist ethnic theory with the reality of China's specific ethnic issues and with China's excellent traditional culture, and at the same time drew on the theory and practical experience of the Communist Party of China in ethnic work over the past century, and creatively put forward a series of new theses one after another, namely, the "four commons" of the Chinese nation's historical outlook, the "four commons" of the Chinese nation's concept of community, and the "five identities" and "five outstanding characteristics" that forge the sense of community of the Chinese nation The concept of Chinese civilization as the basic connotation and the enhancement of the "three consciousnesses" of the masses of all ethnic groups, these major original assertions, with the "main theme" of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, have scientifically answered the question of what banner to hold and what road to take in the work of nationalities in the new era, formed the latest achievements of the Sinicization and modernization of Marxist ethnic theory, and realized a new leap forward in Marxist ethnic theory in China.
Theoretical innovation is the forerunner of social development and change, and it is also the sublimation of practical experience. In-depth study of the laws and general trend of historical development, always grasp the historical initiative of the development of the cause of the Party and the country in the new era and new journey, and establish the strategic positioning of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation from the theoretical level, is the basic understanding of the Chinese Communists in the new era who take the initiative to grasp the internal law of the development of the Chinese nation, consciously summarize the historical experience of ethnic work, and answer the questions of the times, and is the party's conscious awareness of the historical mission of the Chinese nation. The conscious grasp of the historical development process means that our party's understanding of the laws of ethnic work has reached a new height, which has direct guiding significance for the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the overall pattern of high-quality development of ethnic work, and the overall layout of the modernization and development of ethnic areas.
We should give full play to the historical initiative and embark on a correct path of resolving ethnic issues with Chinese characteristics.
Historical initiative refers to the will and practical behavior of historical subjects to conform to the laws and requirements of historical development and actively and promisingly promote profound changes in the historical process. Looking back on the party's 100-year history, the greatest achievement of the party's ethnic work is that it has embarked on a correct path with Chinese characteristics to resolve ethnic issues. The most vivid and concentrated embodiment of this correct path in the new era is to forge the sense of community of the Chinese nation.
The sense of community of the Chinese nation is the reflection of the objective existence of the community of the Chinese nation in people's minds, the common psychological consciousness of the Chinese nation formed in the process of building the community of the Chinese nation, and the sense of identity, belonging and honor of the Chinese nation. To forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is to guide the people of all ethnic groups to firmly establish the community concept of sharing weal and woe, weal and woe, life and death, and destinyIt is necessary to guide the people of all nationalities to firmly establish a correct view of the country, history, nationality, culture, and religionIt is to guide the people of all ethnic groups to firmly identify with the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China, and socialism with Chinese characteristicsIt is necessary to guide the people of all ethnic groups to enhance their awareness of the state, citizenship and the rule of law. To forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is to safeguard the foundation of national unity, the foundation of national unity, and the soul of spiritual strength.
A key point in interpreting "why the Communist Party of China can" lies in the fact that our party is good at grasping the general trend of history, has the courage to seize and make good use of various historical opportunities, and leads the people to win the historical initiative and walk in front of history. Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is a major decision made by our party in judging the situation and orienting the pulse of China's national work in the new era. In the ten years since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, 31.21 million poor people in China's ethnic areas have all been lifted out of poverty, the Chinese nation as a whole has entered a well-off society in an all-round way, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a great turning point from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong. The development and progress of China's ethnic minority areas have injected tremendous energy into the strengthening of the sense of community of the Chinese nation.
Carry forward the spirit of struggle, prevent and defuse major risks in the ethnic field.
Maintaining unity, opposing the Chinese nation, and making the Chinese national community unbreakable are the bottom lines that must be firmly guarded in ethnic work. For a long time, under the banner of "democracy" and "human rights," some Western hostile forces have adopted a posture of bullying and suppression, making a big fuss about the ethnic issue, and stirring up trouble in the international community, with the aim of messing us up and reaping profits from it. Carrying out the struggle against national minorities, preventing and defusing major risks and hidden dangers in the ethnic field, and ensuring social stability are the top priorities in China's ethnic areas.
The one who is fundamentally solid, Hua Shi will be mao;Those who have a deep source will be glorious". The sense of community of the Chinese nation is the reunification of the motherland.
1. The foundation of national unity is the source of strength for the continuous and sustainable development of the Chinese nation. What plays a decisive role in the formation of the Chinese nation is not factors such as race, blood, and region, but the identification of the Chinese national community. The Chinese nation is an indivisible whole, and all ethnic groups should hug each other tightly like pomegranate seeds, live together, study together, work together, and enjoy together. In the face of the turbulent domestic and international situation, the people of all ethnic groups should temper each other, not be bewitched by hostile forces, anchor the development goal of common prosperity, eliminate all kinds of interference, and fight against all kinds of leading forces with the full revolutionary spirit of abandoning others in the turbulent clouds, and at the same time continue to strive to solve the problem of unbalanced and insufficient internal development. With the sense of community of the Chinese nation as the fulcrum, we will cultivate opportunities in the crisis, open a new situation in the changing situation, and move forward in the right direction of joint construction, sharing, common development and prosperity. In the past, we relied on struggle to create history, and in the future, we will rely even more on struggle to win the future.
Consciously take on the great task of rejuvenation, and do in-depth, meticulous and solid national work.
As a spiritual force, historical consciousness has an important guiding and guiding function for social practice. Today, China is advancing towards the second centenary goal, and we are closer to the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. At this time, it is necessary to unify the sense of community of the Chinese nation with the overall strategy of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Facts have proven that the sense of community of the Chinese nation is the emotional and spiritual strength of the Chinese nation in pursuing the dream of rejuvenation.
Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is the "outline" of the party's national work in the new era, and all work should be focused on this. To give full play to the spirit of historical initiative is to think about problems, make decisions, and do things in the party's ethnic work in the new era, and introduce various laws, regulations, policy measures, and specific arrangements, all of which should take whether it is conducive to embodying and strengthening the commonality of the Chinese nation as the first criterion and core requirement. As the main line of the party's ethnic work in the new era and the main line of all work in ethnic areas, in order to achieve tangible and effective sense of community of the Chinese nation, it is necessary to do the ethnic work deeply, meticulously and practically, so as to realize forward-looking thinking, overall planning and overall promotion of ethnic work.
First of all, in order to "deepen" ethnic work, it is necessary to take a clear-cut stand and adhere to the party's leadership over ethnic work, "horizontal to the edge, vertical to the end", in all links, the whole process, and all elements of ethnic work, highlight the leading direction and main line of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, and enhance the party's political ability and work level to solve ethnic problems, coordinate ethnic relations, and promote ethnic development. In accordance with the direction of scientifically promoting the modernization of ethnic affairs governance, we should carefully create a new era of ethnic work pattern that brings together all kinds of subjects and give full play to the strength of multiple parties, and embodies the value considerations and specific requirements of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation in the introduction of laws and policy arrangements involving ethnic factors and ethnic work, so as to form a practical advantage for the effective operation of ethnic work. Thirdly, the "practical" ethnic work is to focus on the grassroots, focus on daily life, and integrate into life, and strive to enhance the depth and reality of the work of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, so that it can be organically connected and integrated with the aspirations, feelings, and wishes of the people of all ethnic groups, so that the people of all ethnic groups can truly experience the unity and progress of national unity and progress around them, in ordinary times, in action, and in implementation, and that the sense of gain, happiness, and security is real.
