China News Service, Lhasa, November 11. Title: Scholars interpret Tibet-related white paper: Border development and prosperity, ethnic relations united and harmonious
China News Service reporter Zhao Yan Zhao Lang
China’s State Council Information Office released a white paper on “The Practice and Historic Achievements of the Party’s Strategy for Governing Tibet in the New Era” on the 10th. Many Tibetan scholars paid attention to the white paper’s empirical interpretation of ethnic work and border development.
Chen Pu, deputy director and researcher of the Institute of Economic Strategy of the Academy of Social Sciences of the Tibet Autonomous Region, said that in recent years, from the central government to Tibet, the central government and local governments have provided unprecedented support for border development, with obvious industrial effects. Each border county in Tibet takes advantage of its good location, natural geographical conditions, and cultural landscape resources to vigorously develop cultural tourism, characteristic agriculture and animal husbandry industries, border trade and other advantageous industries. Border areas have taken the initiative to develop planting and breeding industries, such as raising yaks, cashmere goats, Tibetan pigs, and Tibetan chickens, planting economic forests, and building greenhouses. Therefore, agriculture and animal husbandry contribute significantly to the income and living standards of border residents. It is worth mentioning that around 2018, the per capita added value of the primary industry in the border areas was higher than the per capita added value of the primary industry in Tibet.
“Border areas are the first line of defense for national security barriers, and the central government has made it clear that Tibet ensures border defense consolidation and border security.” Zheng Limei, deputy director of the Institute of Contemporary Tibet, Academy of Social Sciences of the Tibet Autonomous Region, said that Tibet has established a national demonstration of strengthening borders, revitalizing borders, and enriching people. The region has continuously invested in the construction of well-off villages, infrastructure, public services, national security education, and “smart border defense”. The economy in border areas has developed rapidly, and people’s living standards and border defense strength have been simultaneously improved. In the practical actions of striving to be the guardian of the sacred land and the builder of a happy homeland, the Tibetan people’s patriotic enthusiasm and pride have been further stimulated, and the awareness of the Chinese nation’s community has been further enhanced.
Jiumaocuo, professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Economics and Management of Tibet University, director of the Nepal Research Center of Tibet University and the Nepal and Bhutan Research Center of Tibet University, said that as an important channel to South Asia, Tibet’s harmony, stability, openness and development, It has opened a new stage of promoting the modernization of border areas and deeply integrating into the high-quality development of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. It has promoted exchanges and exchanges in economic, trade, cultural and other aspects between China and neighboring countries in South Asia, and deepened the mutually beneficial and win-win peaceful development of China and South Asian countries. .
The white paper points out that Tibet persists in building a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, promotes high-quality development of ethnic affairs, and increasingly consolidates socialist ethnic relations of equality, unity, mutual assistance, and harmony.
Dr. Luo Dan, deputy secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Vice President of the Tibet University of Socialism, observed and gave examples. Many Han people who have lived in Tibet for a long time and other ethnic minorities other than Tibetans also drink butter tea and eat tsampa like Tibetans. There are many etiquettes such as welcoming and sending off Among them, the etiquette and customs of offering Hada are integrated into it. In his view, this has changed from a national cultural characteristic to a regional cultural characteristic, and the in-depth exchanges, exchanges and integration between various ethnic groups are reflected here.
Che Minghuai, a researcher at the Academy of Social Sciences of the Tibet Autonomous Region, said that building a strong sense of the Chinese nation’s community is an important manifestation of the Party’s strategy for governing Tibet in the new era and an important guarantee for Tibet’s development and progress. Looking back at history, it is often said that Tibet has been a part of China since ancient times. This is not a conclusion drawn out of thin air, but is caused by the inherent centripetal force of various ethnic groups.
Che Minghuai said that the peaceful liberation of Tibet has laid a political, economic and cultural foundation for the consciousness of the Chinese nation’s community, and has brought about qualitative changes in the exchanges, exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups. One of the important practical results of strengthening the consciousness of the Chinese nation’s community is the further deepening of exchanges, exchanges and integration between various ethnic groups across the country and the Tibetan ethnic group. Entering a new era, the great changes in Tibet’s economy, culture, ecology and other fields should be attributed to the huge role of the continuous deepening of the “three exchanges”. (over)
