ISLAMABAD Wholesale Montreal Canadiens Jerseys , Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- The ethnic policies adopted by the Chinese central government has helped the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China to achieve economic prosperity and unity, a Paskistani expert has commented.


China's ""Inner Mongolia has been achieving great and speedy economic achievements,"" Wiqar Ali Shah, a professor of social sciences at the Islambad-based Quaid-i-Azam University, told Xinhua in a recent interview.


""In my view Wholesale Minnesota Wild Jerseys , Inner Mongolia and other autonomous regions have witnessed faster economic growth than the country as a whole,"" said the Pakistani expert.


He cited Inner Mongolia's regional per capita gross domestic product (GDP), which amounted to over 11,000 U.S. dollars, ranking the sixth in China Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys , as an achievement ""due to the constructive and long-term economic and development policies by the Chinese government.""


The policies have enabled development in various sectors to create more jobs to help lift a big portion of the local population including minorities out of poverty, according to him.


Thanks to China's ethnic policies, ""Inner Mongolia has become more independent in implementing its own economic roadmap,"" he noted.


""The pillar of China's ethnic policies is regional autonomy for ethnic minorities, and every leadership has been pushing it Wholesale Florida Panthers Jerseys ,"" he said.


Shah described as ""ideal"" the policies made and adopted by the central government under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), which has also helped promote unity ""not only at the local level but also at the national level.""


""Because of the ideal policies by the Chinese leadership, minorities have started feeling comfortable and proudly consider themselves as part of the Chinese nation,"" he said.


""The leadership of the Communist Party of China, along with the passage of time Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys , has been developing and improving its ethnic policy since the 1950s in accordance with the needs at the ground level,"" he added.


Shah also noticed an increase in the population of local ethnic Mongolians thanks to different and favorable population policies the Chinese central government has adopted, which allows ethnic minorities to give birth to more children than Han Chinese.


The total population currently exceeds 250 million in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region that was set up in 1947, with an life expectancy up to 75.8 years from less than 35 years over the past seven decades.


Shah thinks the Chinese government and leadership have attached great importance to ethnic issues, inter-ethnic relations and national unity. ""Chinese ethnic policies and systems have already become exemplary in the world Wholesale Detroit Red Wings Jerseys ,"" he said.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- The White House confirmed Thursday that U.S. and South Korean fighter jets had intercepted Russian bombers flying near the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan in the Sea of Japan earlier the week.


The encounter took place when the U.S. conducted a military exercise with South Korea in ""international waters"" off the Korean Peninsula, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest at the daily briefing.


The Russian aircraft, whose numbers were not revealed, were intercepted first by South Korean military aircraft. And then four FA-18 fighter jets from the Carrier Air Wing Five were launched to escort the Russian bombers until they departed the area Wholesale Dallas Stars Jerseys , Earnest said, adding the incident did not result in a significant confrontation.


""We have previously raised concerns about Russian military aircraft essentially carrying out incursions on the sovereignty of other countries,"" Earnest said.


The U.S. has ""regularly urged the Russian military to make sure that their operations in this space were consistent with generally accepted international protocols,"" Earnest noted.


While acknowledging that the U.S. and Russia have ""some vigorous disagreements"" on issues like Ukraine and Syria, the spokesman refused to characterize the current tense U.S.-Russia relationship as a new Cold War.


""The situation today is much different"" as Russia ""does not have the same kind of influence around the globe that the Soviet Union once did Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys ,"" he said.


The nuclear-powered USS Ronald Reagan, based at the Yokosuka naval base in Japan, has just replaced the USS George Washington aircraft carrier since earlier this month.
