Hui and Han nationalities in Ningxia came in to communicate.

Moderator: At dinner today, you told me that a professor in the United States specially brought a delegation to study and examine why ethnic integration in Ningxia can be so good, and you still had dinner with him.

Wang: Not only the United States, Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, including these countries and Malaysia, they all asked after they came, feeling that the people who returned to Han were like brothers. What was the reason? So now this American, after 9 1 1, is also very surprised. Muslims in Ningxia, China account for only one third, and the Han population accounts for two thirds. The two peoples are United as a family. There have never been ethnic conflicts for decades, but now they are developing rapidly. He thought it was a very unique phenomenon, so he set up a project. A professor Ruhart brought a group of people to study. He came to our government for support and said that he supported them to do this project. We are also willing to support him in setting up this project.

Compere: Has this project started? What preliminary work did they do?

Wang: They are doing some typical case studies now. For example, in the 50 years since the establishment of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, have there been any wars in ethnic areas? Then he'll know that nothing like this has ever happened here. He also saw some situations, that is, when we Hui people married children, Han comrades came to the Hui people's house for dinner, but in a village where Han people lived in compact communities, Han people married their wives. Hui people are very particular about their living habits, but he is willing to go to the Han family for dinner. What is the reason? It is this Han nationality who has stopped eating pork and lives in this village in full accordance with the habits of the Hui nationality. Everyone respects each other. At this point, everyone can eat among Han people. This is a very typical example, which shows mutual respect and tolerance.
