The Third Generation Of Collective Leadership In Solving National Problems Theory

Our country is a unified, multi-ethnic and socialist one. It is essential to our national stability and prosperity to maintain ethnic equality and solidarity and to promote the co-development of all ethnic groups. Chinese Communist Party has always attached much importance to the ethnic issue, In the long process of revolution and construction, our Party has, under the leadership of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, combined Marxist ethnic theories with the reality of China and established a distinctive Chinese theory of ethnic issue, thus enriching and developing Marxism. The theory presents a systematic reply to the question of how to seek ethnic liberation, cope with ethnic relationships, solve ethnic problems and promote ethnic development in our underdeveloped country, In addition, it provides a correct guiding principle about ethnic work and ensures the lay-down of a series of correct ethnic policies, which play a vital role in the promotion of liberation and development of all Chinese ethnic groups and in the keep-up and strengthening of ethnic solidarity.Ethnic issue has taken on some new features and developmental trends since the 1990's of 20 century, like the emergence and spread of worldwide nationalistic movement which makes ethnic issue one of key issues of the world, In this new era, the third generation of our Party leadership, under the guidance of Jiang Zeming, has obtained tremendous achievements in terms of theory innovation through huge efforts. The third generation of Party leadership centered around Jiang Zeming advocated Mao's and Deng's theories and further expanded their theories, putting forward new ideas to solve today's ethnic issues and forming a new system of ethnic theories. This system serves as the supreme guidance for establishing policies and approaches of ethnic work and promoting the co-development of all ethnic groups. Also, this new system of theories is of great significance to the economic development of ethnic minorities, the enhancement of our national economy, the stability of remote areas of our country and the unity of our motherland.
