中华民族共同体视域下民族地区经济高质量发展研究

Research on High-Quality Economic Development in Ethnic Minority Areas from the Perspective of the Chinese National Community

铸牢以共同奋斗、共同繁荣为任务和目标的中华民族共同体意识,是马克思主义民族理论中国化的成果,也是新时代民族工作的主线。新阶段下,要以中国式现代化推进中华民族伟大复兴,民族地区经济高质量发展任务依然长期而艰巨,文章尝试找到民族地区经济高质量发展对铸牢中华民族共同体意识的理论和实践逻辑,以期探寻铸牢中华民族共同体意识的“经济密码”。文章首先剖析民族地区经济高质量发展和中华民族共同体的辩证统一性,从理论上构建二者的内在联系。然后进一步考察铸牢中华民族共同体意识的经济因素,通过民族地区经济发展的现实问题,分析这些问题如何影响铸牢中华民族共同体意识。最后,将铸牢中华民族共同体意识融入经济高质量发展的大局,从产业结构升级、提升创新能力、发挥比较优势、提升基本公共服务水平四个方面提出发展路径。

This paper proposes that there is an internal logic of three dimensions,i.e.history,theory and practice,between the high quality economic development of ethnic minority areas and forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation.From a historical perspective,the Chinese nation has jointly created a brilliant Chinese civilization,achieved the cause of national liberation,and significantly promoted economic development in ethnic areas.From a theoretical perspective,both pursue equality,adhere to unity,and emphasize sharing.High-quality economic development is a practical prerequisite for building a sense of the Chinese national community.Building a sense of the Chinese national community aspires to provide spiritual cohesion for high-quality economic development in ethnic areas.From a perspective of practice,regional ethnic autonomy,the policy of counterpart support,the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation,and other systems,policies and strategies have been playing an important role in promoting a sense of Chinese national community and economic development.At present,weak economic development in ethnic areas appears to negatively affect the sense of the Chinese national community.From the perspective of industrial structure,the overall process of industrialization is slow and secondary industry is sacrificed in favor of a more dominant position of tertiary industry.From the perspective of innovation capability,it is noticeable that the level of innovation investment is low,leading to poor innovation capability.From the perspective of income gap,it can be told that the income gap between urban and rural areas stays substantial,making rural parts lag behind in both regional development and balanced urban and rural development.In terms of supply of basic public services,the distribution of educational opportunity,the supply of health care and other public services are relatively scarce,and the quality of school,medical,and health service systems in most areas apparently are poor.Considering the multi-level and structural problems restricting economic development in ethnic areas,a path must be found that promotes economic development and a sense of the Chinese national community.The following may be stated:First,new and characteristic industries should be opened up and cultivated,and traditional industries be transformed to improve the quality of industrial structure,coordinate the development of primary,secondary,and tertiary industries,and promote the optimization of the economic structure,consumption structure,and social structure.Second,“combination boxing”of innovation should be played as to enhance innovative development,so that ethnic areas can be better integrated into the Chinese modernization process.Third,full play should be given to the comparative and unique advantages of ethnic areas,economic growth be promoted,and people s incomes increased through sustainable development,in order to solve the issue of asymmetrical economic development.Fourth,on the subjects of improving basic public services and establishing high-quality economic development,the living standards of people of all ethnic groups should be steadily improved.Given the above,it is reasonable to assume that in the new era of China,the process of promoting common prosperity for all ethnic groups in China coincides with the process of building a sense of the Chinese national community.By upgrading the economic development in ethnic areas to the height of the Chinese national community,national unity,a better livelihood,and a strong sense of Chinese national community may be truly realized.
