"The correct way to solve ethnic problems with China characteristics is to pursue a better life for all ethnic groups. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is to promote 56 ethnic groups as a whole to move towards socialist modernization, create a bright future for the Chinese nation and share the great glory of national rejuvenation. " Zhao Yong said.
Cast a solid sense of the community of the Chinese nation

Through poverty alleviation and well-off life, countless people’s fate has changed, countless people’s dreams have been realized, and countless people’s happiness has been achieved.
Zhao Yong said that poverty alleviation and a well-off society have brought historic changes to ethnic areas: the living standards of the people of all ethnic groups have been greatly improved, the ideological concepts of the people of all ethnic groups have undergone profound changes, the endogenous motivation of ethnic areas has been greatly enhanced, the party’s ruling foundation in ethnic areas has become more solid, and socialist ethnic relations have been consolidated and strengthened.

Zhao Yong said that practical and effective measures should be taken to push the people of all ethnic groups to move towards socialist modernization.
The creation of national unity and progress is a gold-lettered signboard jointly created by people of all ethnic groups in China, which has been innovatively developed since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Zhao Yong introduced that the creation work has become a booster to promote local economic and social development. All localities have integrated the creation of national unity and progress into economic and social development, which not only promoted economic development and industrial upgrading, but also improved people’s livelihood, solved practical difficulties and problems around the masses, and promoted a double harvest of unity and progress.
