I'm going to write some more about china for this blog. Which country will become most powerful country in the world? It may be China. Recently, China showed amazing and frightened development in many parts including economy. Many people are thinking that China will become new rival of United States instead of formal Soviet Union. As result, China starts to show their power in the world. However, China is also suffering internal problems. The most serious internal problem is ethnic problem. Fifty five groups of people exist in China. The group of people which is called a Han holds the largest population among them. Although Han people hold the largest population and long history, the other groups of people also have their own culture and history. It is lie if China doesn’t have cultural problems between each group of people. The group of people claims their right of self-government in China to Chinese Government. Some of them claim independence. Tibet and Uighur are famous group which claims independence from China. However, Chinese Government didn’t allow their claim. On the contrary, they sent military to suppress. As a result, many Tibetans and Uighur people died and the leader Dalai Lama who claimed independence of Tibet escaped to India. Also, Chinese Government sent many Han Chinese to Tibet and Uighur. Han Chinese who lived in Tibet and Uighur opposed to independence from China because of this policy. I understand situation of China. It was common problem of multiracial country. If Chinese Government allows their independence, the other groups of people also claim independence. If it will be continued, China will be collapsed. It is why China can’t allow independence of other groups. If China can’t solve this problem, it will be biggest problem to bother development of China forever.
