Partner assistance programs boost ethnic unity

Partner assistance usually refers to pairing local governments with each other to support the development of a certain region or sector under the overall coordination of the Chinese central government.

It facilitates sharing of material and fiscal resources, as well as intellectual expertise, and features complementary advantages and mutual benefits.

Since 1994, Guangdong and Fujian provinces have been implementing such projects in Nyingchi city.

The city's GDP in 2014 expanded 33 times than 20 years ago, and net income of farmers and herdsmen grew eight-fold in comparison to that in 1994, data from Nanfang Daily showed.

By offering medical services, education support and industrial development guidance to less developed areas, the partner assistance mode plays an important role in ethnic unity, building a strong tie between Tibetans and Han to achieve common prosperity.
