During this trip that took him to villages, communities, enterprises, schools, and venues for religious activities, Shi stressed that forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation should be a crucial gauge of the CPC's work related to ethnic affairs and areas with large ethnic minority populations in the new era.

Efforts for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation should be integrated into Party building and social governance at the primary level, Shi said.
