Interview on What is the contemporary enlightenment of the debate on “There is only one Chinese nation” during the Anti-Japanese War? given by Peking University Boya Chair professor Ma Rong to China News Agency，he pointed out，If a country needs to promote its industrialization and modernization, it is necessary for all citizens to have a common language tool that is conducive to learning and mastering modern scientific and technological knowledge. It is also necessary to learn and master a common language that is easy for people to communicate in the domestic labor market and employment environment.
Ma Rong says, Just think about it, if a Tibetan youth can only speak Tibetan, it is very hard for him to live in the urban area. Because he cannot speak Mandarin, he doesn’t have access to a lot of knowledge and information that Tibetan language programs don’t have in TV and internet. He also cannot shop or sell his own products through mandarin websites. Furthermore, his space of activity is bound to be extremely limited, which is very disadvantageous to the development of himself and his family. Young people of ethnic minorities have every right to join the modernization process of the state and society. Meanwhile, they will be better to inherit and protect their traditional culture.
