正确认识民族问题,制定科学的民族政策是协调民族关系,促进民族平等、团结,实现多民族国家稳定、统一、繁荣发展的重要保障。民族区域自治制度作为多民族国家成功解决国内民族问题的典范,是我国基本政治制度方面的一大创新。它从党解决民族问题的政策之一,上升为我国的一项基本政治制度,是党对马克思主义解决民族问题基本理论的创造性运用,也是各族人民的选择。 Correctly understanding the ethnic issues and formulating a scientific ethnic policy are the important guarantees for coordinating ethnic relations, promoting ethnic equality and uniting and achieving stability, unity, and prosperity for the multi-ethnic country. As a model for the successful solution of the issue of nationalities in the multinational nations, the system of regional autonomy of ethnic minorities is a major innovation in China’s basic political system. It has risen from one of the party’s policies for resolving national issues to one of our basic political systems. It is the party’s creative use of the basic theory of Marxist resolution of ethnic issues and the choice of people of all nationalities.
