1 PROBLEMS IN THE CULTURAL GOVERNANCE OF ETHNIC MINORITIES

1.1 Relatively backward economy of ethnic minority areas

Since the reform and opening up, the economy and culture undertakings of ethnic minority areas have achieved constant development and prosperity, showing a big change compared with previous situation. Meanwhile, various preferential policies have been implemented to ethnic minority areas. Besides, all ethnic groups in China are working hard together for the prosperity of the country, ensuring the work and policies in ethnic minority areas implemented step by step. Therefore, the policy objectives of ethnic equality, unity and common prosperity become more and more clear. However, in order to promote economic, political and cultural prosperity of ethnic minority areas, more efforts and attention should be paid to the deficiencies of national governance. Besides, government should start from the key and difficult issues to overcome the main contradictions, optimizing governance level and quality [1]. Since the economy of ethnic minority areas is still a key issue, a solid economic foundation will directly affect the living quality of ethnic minority areas as well as the practice of various ethnic policies.
