Ethnic Issues in the Large-scale Western Development of China

The large-scale western development of China is of both economic and political significance. In the implementation of this cross-century strategy, ethnic issues merit special attention. The significance should be realized from the political height that the large scale western development of China will completely solve the problems in ethnic development. It is the responsibility and duty of Chinese people to make contributions to the great movement. The implementation of the large-scale western development of China should be closely connected with the ethnic economic vitalization of the country so as to promote the capacity of self-development of the ethnic regions.
