China Admits Ethnic Conflict

BEIJING, Sep 27, 1999 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- China acknowledged troubles with ethnic strife Monday and promised more help for ethnic minorities whose living standards lag far behind those of the majority Han Chinese.
The acknowledgment was part of a government report on minorities carried by the state-run Xinhua News Agency.

Members of the nation's 55 minorities -- which include sizable populations of Tibetans and ethnic Muslims -- must ''oppose ethnic splits and safeguard the unification of the country,'' the report said. It said ''sabotaging equality and unity'' is a crime.

Many of China's poorest people are members of minority groups. The more than 100 million minorities live mostly in central or western China, where economic development is lagging far behind the eastern coast, the report said.

Beijing faces what it sees as a serious internal threat in restive ethnic regions in the west, particularly Tibet and Xinjiang, a traditionally Muslim region.
