Da Wei, the Egyptian man, said that China’s ethnic harmony and national unity hinges on Party unity and the firm will of Chinese leaders.

Mustafa Ibrahim, a political analyst from Pakistan, said that the regional ethnic autonomy is a creative policy initiated by the CPC, with enormous achievements in practice. “The system is worthy of respect and praise,” he said.

Pierre Picquart, a China observer and French professor at University of Paris VIII, said regional autonomy safeguards the equality and unity of all ethnic groups, leading them down a path of mutual assistance and common prosperity. The author of Chinese Empire noted that the achievement Inner Mongolia has made serves as an example of this system’s advantages.

These views on the regional autonomy policy initiated by China correspond well with scholars from Malaysia.

When viewed from a global perspective, China is one of the few open-minded countries treating ethnic minorities fairly, according to Rao Zhaobin, deputy head of the Institute of China Studies at the University of Malaysia.

Hu Yishan, also a Malaysian scholar, said China takes the lead in its ethnic polices, which are worthy of teaching to other countries. One of China’s most amazing feats is that it succeeded in overcoming the hurdles of multi-ethnic society to achieve national solidarity and social progress, he said.

Hu’s feelings match with Da Wei’s. “I hold the utmost respect for the fusion of Chinese culture and the country’s strong national unity, which I wish the Middle East regions could learn from,” said Da Wei.
