This entails fully implementing the deployment of the 20th National Congress of the Party, accurately grasping the new stage characteristics of the Party’s ethnic work, and regarding the building of a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation as the main line of the Party’s ethnic work and all work in ethnic areas.

This involves deeply understanding and grasping the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, providing education on the Party’s theory and history, and cultivating and practicing core socialist values.
