A Historical Review of Ethnic Interactions, Exchanges, and Integration in Xinjiang and Reflections on Paths Toward Comprehensive Embedding

Abstract

 Since 2012, China has strategically prioritized theoretical framework of "people interaction, exchange, and integration." This study employs a tripartite analytical framework encompassing historical review, value connotation, and path exploration to systematically examine the value implications of people integration. Guided by the governance strategies in the new era, this research proposes a multidimensional integration model spanning spatial, cultural, economic, social, and psychological dimensions. The theoretical contributions aim to enhance cultural identification among all people groups and consolidate the consciousness of the national community, with the ultimate goal of ensuring long-term stability and harmonious development.
