    The draft clearly defines the general policy and key tasks of the state to support the high-quality development of ethnic areas and promote the common prosperity and development of all ethnic groups, which makes Dong Caiyun confidently: “My hometown has undergone earth-shaking changes, and I believe that more Kangzhuang Avenue will be paved in the vast ethnic areas.”

    “The people can be righteous.” Constantly satisfying the people of all ethnic groups for a better life is the “greater of the country” in the heart of General Secretary Xi Jinping.

    Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups have gathered their hearts and worked together to promote the development of various undertakings in ethnic areas.

    Building a shared spiritual home and providing strong spiritual and cultural support for promoting the construction of the Chinese national community -

    Culture is the soul of a nation, and cultural identity is the root of national unity.

    General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: “Strengthening the great unity of the Chinese nation, long-term and fundamental is to enhance cultural identity” “We must build a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation, so that the hearts of all ethnic groups are gathered together and the spirit is interdependent, and a strong spiritual bond of people’s unity and unity and progress must be formed.”

    “Xi Jinping’s Selected Works” and “General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Important Thoughts on Strengthening and Improving Ethnic Work” and other important works published and distributed, becoming the authoritative reading of the profound understanding of the greatness of thought by the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups; for the first time in the name of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the national national unity and progress model commendation, guiding the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups to continuously enhance the “five identities”; the Chinese nation’s common spiritual home construction theme cultural activities into Zhejiang, Liaoning and other places, carry forward the national spirit and the spirit of the times.

    A series of pragmatic measures have been taken to promote the more tangible and effective work of forging a strong sense of the Chinese national community, and to build a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation.

    Located in the National Culture Palace of Xichang’an Street in Beijing, the exhibition of ancient books of Chinese national community consciousness cultural relics attracts visitors from all sides. In the exhibition hall, cultural relics and ancient books travel through the millennial time, bringing together the thousands of weather of the various cultures of all nationalities.

    “In the long-term exchanges and exchanges, the people of all ethnic groups in China have jointly created a unified multi-ethnic country and jointly written a glorious Chinese history.” The CPPCC members said, “The draft clearly states that the state promotes the construction of China’s independent historical system, discourse system and theoretical system of the Chinese national community, and elevates the successful experience of promoting the construction of the Chinese national community and the cause of national unity and progress since the new era to the law, reflecting the common voice and eager expectation of the people of all ethnic groups to promote the cause of national unity and progress in the new era.”

    Promote exchanges and exchanges, and jointly build a harmonious home of national unity and a family-friendly family-

    Spring back to the earth, Ningxia Yinchuan City Jinfeng District Great Wall Garden Community a thriving and beautiful scene. In this large multi-ethnic community, the people of Han, Hui, Man, Mongolia, Tibet and other ethnic groups live in harmony and kiss each other like a family.

    “The people of all ethnic groups and families are my concern.” In June 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping came here and kindly exhorted, “The Chinese nation is a big family, and the people of all ethnic groups should hold together like pomegranate seeds.”

    Seeing that the draft in the form of a special chapter to promote exchanges and exchanges make specific provisions, Zhao Neixian, a representative of the 20th Party Congress and party secretary of the Great Wall Garden Community, deeply resonated: “Building a strong community party organization and doing a detailed job of serving the people can continuously enhance the sense of gain, happiness and security of the people of all ethnic groups.”

    The 56 ethnic groups are united by the Chinese national community.

    Bearing in mind the instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, Inner Mongolia has created a brand of interoperable development of all ethnic groups and promoted the construction of “five homes”; the “village BA” and “Village Super” launched by Guizhou have become popular activities for the people of all ethnic groups; the exchange plan for the youth of all ethnic groups has continued to be carried out, and the platform and carrier of exchanges and exchanges among ethnic groups have been continuously enriched.

    In the environment of co-learning, co-construction and sharing, and working together, the people of all ethnic groups breathe together, share common destiny, and connect hearts, and the breadth and depth of exchanges and exchanges are unprecedented.

    To promote common prosperity and development and realize the joint efforts of all ethnic groups towards socialist modernization -

    “Do more good things, do practical things, solve difficult problems for the people of all ethnic groups, and promote the common prosperity of the people of all ethnic groups”, “enhance the ability of self-development and sustainable development in ethnic areas”, “let the people of ethnic areas share the fruits of reform and development”…

    At the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping and his representatives discussed with the members to promote the Chinese-style modernization plan and took care of the development of ethnic areas.

    From poverty alleviation to rural revitalization, from building a well-off society in an all-round way to promoting Chinese-style modernization and achieving common prosperity, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always stressed that “one nation can not be less”.

    Today, in the Yarlung Tsangpo River Valley, the Fuxing train on the Lalin Railway is whizzing by; in the Urumqi international dry port area, a train full of “Made in China” is flying west…

    That’s an amazing pace – growing at an average annual rate of 5.6%!

    Data show that from 2020 to 2024, the total regional GDP of the five autonomous regions of Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Tibet, Ningxia and Xinjiang increased from 6012.29 billion yuan to 8376.6 billion yuan.

    Inner Mongolia has further promoted the high-quality co-construction of the “Belt and Road” and the construction of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor, Guangxi has actively played the “ASEAN” card while embracing the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and Tibet has created an important channel for opening up to South Asia…

    Development is the basis for solving various problems in ethnic areas. The draft focuses on the goal of comprehensively realizing the common prosperity and development of all ethnic groups, and makes specific provisions in terms of infrastructure construction and industrial development, which will greatly encourage the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups.

    From the north and south of Tianshan to the snowy plateau, from the northern grasslands of Serbia to the shores of the South China Sea, the beautiful blueprint drawn by General Secretary Xi Jinping is becoming a happy life into reality.

    Concentrate on the future - “to promote Chinese-style modernization with great unity of the Chinese nation”

    On the new journey of the new era, the central task of the Party and the State is to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization, which requires the common unity and struggle of the people of all ethnic groups in the country."

    The formulation of the law on the promotion of national unity and progress is a realistic need to concentrate on promoting Chinese-style modernization and promoting the common prosperity and development of all ethnic groups, and is also an important measure to cope with the great changes that have not occurred in the world in a hundred years and enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation.

    In the preamble to the draft, “high-quality promotion of national unity and progress, and the promotion of Chinese-style modernization with the great unity of the Chinese nation”, Yang Zhetao, a representative from the Guizhou Provincial People’s Procuratorate, made a key mark in this statement.

    In March 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Zhaoxing Dongzhai, Liping County, Qiannan Province, Guizhou Province. Under the drum tower, on one side of the fire pond, a few benches, the villagers sat around the general secretary.

    Hearing everyone scramble to talk about today’s good days, the general secretary encouraged everyone to make rural revitalization better in the process of Chinese-style modernization.

    Time goes by, like one. At the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, one warm moment after another, full of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s deep concern for the people of all ethnic groups, it demonstrated the far-reaching consideration of formulating a law on the promotion of national unity and progress.

    Here is an official article :

    BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) – Let the flower of national unity and progress flourish ever – General Secretary Xi Jinping leads the promotion of the construction of the Chinese national community by strengthening and improving the important ideas of national work.

    Xinhua News Agency

    On the morning of March 5, 2026, at the Beijing Great Hall of the People, the fourth session of the 14th National People’s Congress was opened, and the Draft Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Promotion of National Unity and Progress was submitted for consideration. Over the past few days, nearly 3,000 deputies of the National People’s Congress have gathered in the people’s hall to provide suggestions for legislation.

    The formulation of the law on the promotion of national unity and progress is a profound measure to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important ideas on strengthening and improving the national work and the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, and to forge a solid sense of the Chinese national community and promote the construction of the Chinese national community to consolidate the foundation of the rule of law.

    The “15th Five-Year Plan” curtain has been opened, and Chinese-style modernization has shown a brighter future. The representative members attending the two sessions of the National People’s Congress agreed that the formulation of the law on the promotion of national unity and progress is opportune at the right time to further enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation, and promote the people of all ethnic groups in the country to unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, and gather a strong synergy to work together to round the Chinese dream.

    The direction of ideological navigation - “casting a solid sense of the Chinese national community is the main line of the party’s national work in the new era, and it is also the main line of work in ethnic areas.”

    General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important idea of strengthening and improving national work is the latest achievement of the Sinicization of Marxist national theory. The formulation of the law on the promotion of national unity and progress is to translate into the national will through the legal process the important ideas of General Secretary Xi Jinping on strengthening and improving national work, especially the important idea of forging the consciousness of the Chinese national community.

    At the scene of the congress carefully listened to the explanation of the draft law, Meng Nan, a representative of the National People’s Congress and a professor at the School of History of Xinjiang University, said: “The draft implements Xi Jinping’s socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era, especially the important idea of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s strengthening and improving ethnic work, fully implements the provisions, principles and spirit of the Constitution, and institutionally and legally guarantees the Party’s overall leadership of national work.”

    Our country is a unified multi-ethnic state. Doing a good job in national work is related to the reunification of the motherland and the consolidation of the frontier, to national unity and social stability, to the long-term stability of the country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

    Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as its core has attached great importance to national work, starting from the strategic height of comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation, adhered to the “two combinations”, continuously promoted the Sinicization of Marxist national theory, formed the important idea of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s strengthening and improvement of national work, and guided the party’s national work to achieve new historical achievements.

    “Today, with the help of the care of the Party Committee and the government at all levels and all walks of life, the original broken house that leaked the storm has become today’s spacious and bright teaching building.” The small mountain villages that were once closed have also been freed from disease and poverty and become a model village for national unity and progress.”

    At about 8 a.m. on March 5, at the first “representative channel” of the fourth session of the 14th National People’s Congress, the Zhuang teacher from Wenshan, Yunnan, will dedicate the story of rural education and experience the great changes in the mountains and countryside, showing the vivid situation of China’s national unity and progress since the 18th National Congress of the Party.

    Our country is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, how to create a new situation in national work?

    “To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must take the Chinese national community consciousness as the main line, and take the cause of national unity and progress as the basic cause.” General Secretary Xi Jinping’s firm and powerful words contain deep thoughts on doing a good job in national work.

    In May 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly put forward the “Concept of the Chinese National Community” at the Second Central Xinjiang Work Symposium, and further emphasized “adhere to the ideological foundation of the Chinese National Community” at the Central Ethnic Work Conference held in September of the same year.

    Since then, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly expounded the major original assertion of forging the consciousness of the Chinese national community and promoting the construction of the Chinese national community.

    In 2017, at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was proposed to “cast a solid sense of the Chinese national community” and promote its inclusion in the party constitution; in 2019, the “four common” Chinese national history concept was first proposed at the National Unity and Progress Commendation Conference; in 2021, at the Central Ethnic Work Conference, it was clearly proposed that "the “Twelve Musts to Cast a solid Chinese National Community consciousness as the main line of the Party’s national work in the new era”, and the “Twelve Must”, which were the main line of the Party’s national work in the new era.

    Opening the draft law on the promotion of national unity and progress, the words shine brightly between the words General Secretary Xi Jinping on strengthening and improving the important ideas of national work, showing that national unity is the lifeline of the people of all ethnic groups in our country, and making it clear that it is the common responsibility of all the Chinese people to maintain national unity and promote national unity and progress.

    To formulate the law on the promotion of national unity and progress, it is necessary to conform to the general trend of development of the Chinese nation from history to the future, from tradition to modernity, and from pluralism to cohesion, to improve the institutional mechanism of the consciousness of the Chinese national community, and to promote the Chinese nation to become a community of destiny with a higher degree of identity and stronger cohesion.

    “From the two times to the meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress for consideration, to the consideration of the fourth meeting of the National People’s Congress, the formulation of the law on the promotion of national unity and progress adheres to the fundamental principle of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important ideas on strengthening and improving the national work, and comprehensively implementing the requirements of the ‘Twelve Necessities’ in this important ideology, which is of great significance and far-reaching.” Bembaram, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and vice president of the Academy of Social Sciences of the Tibet Autonomous Region, said.

    The representative members attending the two sessions of the National People’s Congress believe that under the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important ideological and scientific guidance on strengthening and improving national work, the consciousness of the Chinese national community has been continuously forged, the construction of the Chinese national community has been continuously promoted, the cause of national unity and progress has flourished, and the correct path of solving national problems with Chinese characteristics has become wider and wider.

    Draw a blueprint to promote unity - “to maximize the unity of all ethnic groups, to achieve the common unity and struggle of all ethnic groups, common prosperity and development”

    “As a representative of the National People’s Congress of the Security Community, I am very excited by the formulation of the Law on the Promotion of National Unity and Progress.” Dong Caiyun from Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, carefully studied every content of the draft, and his thoughts drifted back to 7 years ago…

    “We lack a highway connecting the outside,” she said at the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2019. General Secretary Xi Jinping immediately pointed out at the meeting: “Comrades of various ministries and commissions are all in the process, and we must actively absorb and adopt the suggestions of representatives.”

    In that year, the construction of the highway began. In November 2023, the high-speed road was officially opened, becoming a rich road for the local people to lead to a better life.
