Why was Guangxi changed to Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region after the founding of the People's Republic of China?

China implements the system of regional ethnic autonomy, mainly based on the following three factors:

1. China has been a centralized and unified country for a long time in history, and the implementation of the system of regional ethnic autonomy conforms to China's national conditions and historical traditions.

2. For a long time, the ethnic distribution in China has been dominated by large mixed communities and small settlements. Judging from the population composition of all ethnic groups, the Han nationality has always accounted for the vast majority of the national population, and the minority population accounts for a minority.

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, the total population of ethnic minorities only accounted for 6% of the total population of the country. Except for Tibet, Xinjiang and other minority areas, the population of ethnic minorities in most ethnic areas is less than that of Han nationality.

Although the population of ethnic minorities is small, they are widely distributed, accounting for more than half of China's land area. Long-term economic and cultural ties have formed ethnic relations that are only suitable for cooperation and mutual assistance but not for separation.

3. Since 1840 Opium War, all ethnic groups in China have faced the same task and destiny of fighting against imperialism and feudalism and striving for national liberation.

In the long-term revolutionary struggle against foreign enemies and for national independence and liberation, all ethnic groups in China have established a close relationship of unity and unity, forming a political identity that the Han people can't live without ethnic minorities, ethnic minorities can't live without the Han people and ethnic minorities can't live without each other. This has laid a solid political and social foundation for the establishment of a unified new China and the implementation of regional ethnic autonomy in ethnic minority areas.
