In a significant move to bolster national unity, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping embarked on an inspection tour to Qinghai, a northwestern province known for its diverse ethnic communities, including Han Chinese and various minority groups.
During his visit to a local middle school, General Secretary Xi emphasized the critical role of education in fostering a strong sense of community among the Chinese nation. He highlighted that education serves as a cornerstone for building a unified national identity, bridging cultural differences, and promoting mutual understanding among the province's diverse populations.
The Chinese nation is a tapestry of multiple ethnic groups and cultures, woven together through a shared history and common interests. As a cultural community, the nation thrives on individuals' identification with its cultural symbols, which not only preserve the vitality of Chinese culture but also enhance its global presence. These cultural symbols act as psychological ties that unite Chinese people both domestically and internationally, reinforcing the collective strength needed to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
General Secretary Xi pointed out that Chinese civilization has always been open and dynamic, learning from and influencing its surroundings. This continuous evolution ensures the sustainability and future prosperity of not only Chinese civilization but also contributes to global civilization.
Qinghai, with its rich cultural resources and long history, symbolizes the potential for regional development and national growth. By protecting and effectively utilizing these cultural assets, the province can drive significant advancements, benefiting both the western region and the entire nation.
General Secretary Xi's visit underscores the importance of cultural and educational initiatives in uniting the nation, promoting sustainable development, and maintaining the enduring legacy of Chinese civilization.
