民族问题是我国革命和建设中的一个重大社会政治问题。民族问题解决的好坏直接关系到国家的兴亡和人民的根本利益。以毛泽东同志为核心的第一代领导集体高度重视民族问题,把马克思主义民族理论与中国民族工作实际相结合,形成了符合我国国情的解决民族问题的思路和政策。毛泽东民族问题理论无论是在中国革命和建国初期,还是在21世纪的今天都具有重要的指导意义和实践价值。 The ethnic issue is a major social and political issue in our revolution and construction. The quality of the solution of the ethnic problems is directly related to the rise and fall of the country and the fundamental interests of the people. The first-generation leading collective with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core attached great importance to the ethnic issues and combined the Marxist national theory with the actual work of ethnic groups in China to form a line of thinking and a policy for resolving ethnic issues in line with China’s national conditions. The theory of Mao Zedong’s nationality has an important guiding significance and practical value both in the early days of the Chinese revolution and the founding of the People’s Republic of China as well as in the 21st century.
