V. Rights of Ethnic Minorities

2014年，中国少数民族和民族地区各项事业不断发展，各少数民族的公民、政治权利和经济、社会、文化权利进一步得到保障。

In 2014, China’s ethnic minorities and areas inhabited by ethnic minorities made new developments in various social programs, and ethnic minorities’ civil, political, economic, cultural and social rights were further guaranteed.

少数民族参与国家事务管理的权利得到有效保障。各少数民族自治地方依法享有广泛的自治权利，包括地方立法权、依照当地民族的特点对法律和行政法规的规定作出变通的权力、使用民族语言文字的权利、人事管理权、财政管理权和自主发展文化教育权等。全国少数民族公务员总量进一步增加，少数民族公务员占全国公务员总数的比例高于少数民族人口占全国总人口的比例，并呈逐年上升的趋势。西藏自治区全区34244名四级人大代表中，藏族和其他少数民族代表31901名，占93％以上。在全国人大代表中，西藏自治区有20名代表，其中藏族和其他少数民族代表14名。在全区干部队伍中，藏族及其他少数民族占70.53%，其中县乡两级领导班子中，藏族和其他少数民族占73.03%。

The rights of ethnic minorities to participate in the administration of the state are effectively guaranteed. All ethnic autonomous areas enjoy autonomous rights in a wide range of areas in accordance with the law, including local legislative power, flexibility in the execution of relevant state laws and regulations based on the characteristics of each ethnic minority, the right to use their own spoken and written languages, power of personnel and financial management, and the right of independently developing their own culture and education. Nationwide, the number of civil servants from ethnic minorities keeps increasing. The proportion of such civil servants in the total number of civil servants is higher than the proportion of ethnic minorities in the country’s total population, and is on the rise every year. In Tibet, of the 34,244 deputies to the people’s congresses at all four levels, 31,901 persons, or 93 percent, are from the Tibetan or other minority communities. The Tibet Autonomous Region has 20 deputies to the NPC, 14 of whom are Tibetans or from other minority groups. Tibetans and other ethnic minorities account for 70.53 percent of the government officials in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Tibetans and other ethnic minorities account for 73.03 percent of the leaders at county and township levels.

少数民族地区经济快速发展。2014年，内蒙古、广西、西藏、宁夏、新疆5个自治区和贵州、云南、青海3个少数民族人口较多的省，城镇居民人均可支配收入分别为28350元、24669元、22016元、23285元、23214元、22548元、24299元、22307元，分别比上年实际增长9.0%、8.7%、7.9%、8.4%、10.1%、9.6%、8.2%、9.6%；农村居民人均可支配收入分别为9976元、8683元、7359元、8410元、8724元、6671元、7456元、7283元，分别比上年实际增长11.0%、11.4%、12.3%、10.7%、11.2%、13.1%、10.9%、12.7%。以上8个民族省区全年实现外贸进出口总额8148亿元，比上年增长15.4%，高于全国增速13.1个百分点，其中，出口完成5526亿元，比上年增长20%，高于全国增速15个百分点；农村贫困人口比上年减少357万人，减贫率为13.9%。中央财政拨付少数民族发展资金40.59亿元，比上年增长10%。中央财政为支持边境地区发展，投入兴边富民补助资金和中央预算内投资28.8亿元，比上年增加8890万元。中央预算内投资和少数民族发展资金拨付15.3亿元扶持人口较少民族加快发展，比上年增加8710万元。大力实施少数民族特色村寨保护与发展工程，中央财政专项补助资金达到4.9亿元，较上年增长22.5%。

Quality of life in Tibet and Xinjiang keeps improving. In 2014, the growth rate of the GDP of the Tibet Autonomous Region was 3.4 percentage points higher than the national average. The region completed its housing project for farmers and herdsmen, after eight years of incremental investment that totaled 27.357 billion yuan. The region’s 2.3 million farmers and herdsmen of 460,300 households have moved into solid and convenient houses. The per capita living space of Tibetan rural and urban residents is now 33.77 sq m and 41.39 sq m, respectively. Lhasa completed a natural gas heating project, enabling 105,200 households to enjoy “warm winters.” Now Tibet has a public medical and health service system combining Tibetan, Western and traditional Chinese medicine that covers all urban and rural areas of the autonomous region with Lhasa as the center. So free medical services are now available to all the farmers and herdsmen in Tibet. The subsidy for each farmer or herdsman for these medical services was raised to 380 yuan per person in 2015. The autonomous regional government allocated a special fund of 23 million yuan to set up a major disease supplementary health insurance for farmers and herdsmen. A project is being carried out to provide the “five guarantees” (food, clothing, medical care, housing and funeral expenses) to the needy and orphans in communal settings. Some 72 percent of residents entitled to the “five guarantees” are now supported, and more than 5,900 orphans have received assistance from the government in this manner. The average life expectancy in Tibet has increased to 68 years and the death rates of infants and women in childbirth have dropped significantly. The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region ranks among the top in economic growth in the country, with a growth rate 2.6 percentage points higher than the national average.

Xinjiang has raised the per capita funding level for the new rural cooperative medical care system to 436.9 yuan, and the per capita expenditure on public health services to 35 yuan. Screening breast cancer and cervical cancer in women, treating congenital heart disease in children, and providing medical care to those who suffer from 54 kinds, or 22 categories of serious diseases in agricultural and pastoral areas are in progress as planned.

少数民族地区教育事业快速发展。国家在制定支持各项教育改革发展政策时，均给予少数民族地区倾斜支持，支持少数民族地区发展学前教育，改善义务教育阶段学校基本办学条件，加快发展职业教育。2014年，中央投资24亿元支持少数民族地区教育基础薄弱县普通高中学校建设。在高校招生计划安排上对少数民族和民族地区给予倾斜，民族地区农村学生接受优质高等教育的机会大幅提高。实施“少数民族预科班”和“少数民族高层次骨干人才计划”等特殊措施培养少数民族人才，2014年招收少数民族预科学生5.3万人，比上年增长3.31%。

Rapid development in education. When making educational reform and development policies, the state always gives special support to areas inhabited by ethnic minorities to develop preschool education, improve basic conditions of schools carrying out compulsory education and accelerate the development of vocational education. In 2014, the central government provided 2.4 billion yuan in the development of regular high schools at counties inhabited by ethnic minorities and with a weak educational basis. The state implements a preferential policy toward ethnic minorities and areas inhabited by ethnic minorities in college admissions, giving rural students from ethnic-minority areas easier access to high-quality higher education resources. The state adopts special measures of “preparatory classes for ethnic minorities” and “plan for high-caliber personnel of ethnic minorities” for personnel training of ethnic minorities. In 2014, there were 53,000 ethnic-minority students enrolled in preparatory classes, up 3.31 percent over the previous year.

The projects “Digital Cultural Corridor in Border Areas” and “Tibetan, Qiang & Yi Cultural Corridor” have been carried out in border areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, aiming to build a digital cultural service network with broad coverage and high effectiveness.

尊重和保障少数民族使用和发展本民族语言文字的权利。国家继续切实保障少数民族语言文字在行政司法、新闻出版、广播影视、文化教育等各领域的合法使用。中央人民广播电台和地方广播电台每天用21种少数民族语言进行播音。西藏自治区共有10种藏文杂志、22种藏文报纸，西藏人民广播电台开办有42个藏语栏目，西藏电视台藏语卫视24小时播出。全国共1.2万多所学校开展双语教学，接受双语教育的学生达400多万人，双语教师有20多万人。西藏自治区义务教育阶段实施双语教学的学生有40多万人，占在校生总数的97%。

Cultural relics and historic sites effectively preserved. China has further enhanced the preservation of intangible cultural heritage projects and their representative inheritors in ethnic-minority areas. Tibet has nearly 800 intangible cultural heritage projects. Tibetan opera and the Gesar Epic have been included in UNESCO’s Masterpieces of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity, and 158 books have been put on the State List of Valuable Ancient Books. In 2014, the preservation and maintenance of the three key projects of the Potala Palace, Norbulingka and Sakya Monastery was completed, for which more than 380 million yuan was used. This is the largest project for the preservation and maintenance of cultural relics in Tibet, with the most funds from the central government, in which sci-tech means have been widely applied and the latest construction techniques have been used. “Silk Road: the Route Network of the Chang’ an-Tianshan Corridor” has been designated as a new World Heritage Site by UNESCO, including the ruins of Beiting City and other five sites in Xinjiang.
