AB - Except for a few regions in the Northwest in Xinjiang and Tibet, China’s ethnic minority policy has been implemented relatively well based on the principles of minority self-rule and equality and unity. However, in a long-term perspective, the policy is that of gradual and in direct assimilation. On top of the limits of the ’’minority,’’minority ethnic groups living most ly in agricultural and border regionsare threatened by capitalist trends such as the economic reform and opening, rapid economic growth, wide-ranging industrialization and urbanization, and adoption of the market economy.
In particular, the Korean nationality in China’s Northeast (Manchuria) faces a serious crisis of dissolution due to the North Korean crisis and refugees since the 1990s, illegal immigra tion to the Republic of Korea, movement to urban and central Chinese regions due to in dustrialization and the open policy. Moreover, the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture faces a predicament of Korean population decrease, lowering of education quality, family cri sis, dissolution of the agricultural social structure, and assimilation to Han Chinese culture. The time requires a many-sided strategy to solve the problems.
The ethnic Korean society in China is affected by the adoption of the capitalist system and the decrease in the state support as much as the policies and influences of the Chinese Communist Party and government. The trends of a high degree of assimilation into Han Chinese, rapid urbanization and globalization have more effect on Korean society in China. The solution to this crisis depends on Korean nationality’s correct analysis of the crisis and finding an effective measures and strengthening community’s capability.
A few scholars explain the current situation as the pains of the shift from the agricultural to urban social setting. However, without strong ethnic identity and education and formation of new centers of community, dissolution of Korean society and assimilation into the main stream Chinese society will only accelerate. Toovercome these problems, it requires for mulation and implementation of a multifaceted development plan based on particularity of the Korean ethnicity and generality of the Chinese society.
