Forging a Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation: Theoretical Logic, a Realistic Foundation and Practical Path

As the world undergoes profound changes unseen in a century,taking"the forging of a sense of community for the Chinese nation"as the main line of ethnic work is the latest achievement of the Sinicization of Marxist ethnic theory,the innovative development of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,and the latest achievement of China’s system of discourse on ethnic theory and ethnic policy.The Theoretical logic lies in:The Chinese nation is a community with a shared future formed by all ethnic groups in China during thousands of years of historical exchanges and interactions.The political view of"great unity",the cultural view of inclusiveness and the world view that takes the concept of li(norms of conduct)as its core,have combined together and formed today’s unified multi-ethnic state pattern of China.To forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is to inherit and develop these historical implications.The essential connotation of the sense of community for the Chinese nation in contemporary China is very rich,which includes not only the psychological belonging of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups-the identity of the great motherland,but also the meaning of collective identity-the identity of the Chinese nation.Moreover,it also includes the common cultural identity-the identity of the Chinese culture,the identity of the system-the identification of socialism with Chinese characteristics,the identity of the ruling party-the identity of the Communist Party of China.As a consequence,the core of forging the sense of community for the Chinese nation is the"five identities".The realistic foundation lies in:The sense of community for the Chinese nation has,at present,become an objective fact.We need to further consolidate this objective existence based on the inevitable requirement of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.At present,China has already gone through the development stages of"standing up"and"getting rich"to"becoming strong";"the sense of community for the Chinese nation"of all ethnic groups has also experienced the stages going from"self-existence"and"selfconsciousness"to"self-improvement".In addition,the socialist democratic politics with Chinese characteristics and the unity in diversities pattern of the Chinese nation are all part of the realistic basis for realizing this goal.The practical path for realization relies on:Adhering to the leadership of the Communist Party of China as the fundamental guarantee for forging the sense of community for the Chinese nation and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Moreover,we must proceed from an omni-directional,multi-angled and multi-level path to forge the sense of community for the Chinese nation.This means:adhering to and improving the system of regional ethnic autonomy to consolidate the political community;establishing an economy that shares prosperity and development to strengthen the economic community;building a common spiritual home for all ethnic groups in order to build a cultural community;and,strengthening exchanges and integration among all ethnic groups to stabilize the social community.
