By comparision of five aspects bewteen China and the West-ideal,model of political participation,path of economic and social development,pattern of protection of language and culture rights,and model of social(national)cohesion and solidarity,this paper reveals that Chinese road of integration and development among all ethnic groups has the following characteristics:the ideal of equality,solidarity,mutual assistance and harmony among all ethnic groups;the integrative participation model of all ethnic groups under the unified leadership of the Communist Party of China;the integration on the economic and social development(common prosperity and development);equal protection of the language and culture rights of all ethnic groups;strong sense of cohesion and social solidarity of 56 ethnic groups,based on the equal emphasis on the individual and collective rights as well as the close integration between the political value and traditional cultural value.In general,china’s ethnic policies embody both specific rights and level of community with a common future.In China,due to the leadership of the Communist Party of China,harmonious relations between ethnic groups are strengthened,and the trend to the real equality of development among all ethnic groups is growing.On the other side,in the West countries,the ethnic(racial)relationship remains relatively stable though,sometimes a retrograde relationship can be discovered,and the gap between the ethnic groups has a trend of further expansion.Different ideals,systems and cultural concepts lead to the different ethnic relationship and current situation of development between China and the West.
