Abstract

Chinese modernization has gradually become a global “hot topic” in the 2020s, but in terms of the theoretical construction and practical exploration of the modernization of ethnic minorities’ residential areas of China, there are still many problems to be “cold thinking”. As a concentrated area of ethnic minorities in China, Qiandongnan Prefecture has a unique natural ecological environment, diverse ethnic subjects, and diverse cultural types. Therefore, its modernization development path is obviously different from that of other regions. It is found that its modernization is characterized by a low degree of urbanization and industrialization, harmonious coexistence of multi-ethnic groups, large differences in the development level of various internal regions, coexistence of modernization commonness and local characteristics. Additionally, it faces many challenges, such as low urbanization rate of population, lack of resilience of economic development and large income gap between urban and rural residents. In the process of future modernization, not only adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China but also adhere to the concept that clear waters and green mountains are as good as mountains of gold and silver and the developmental ideas of people centered. In addition to strengthen policy input, urban and rural border planning, and the transformation of superior resources and to promote the high-quality development of China’s ethnic minorities areas. This paper is an attempt to investigate the challenges and response of modernization in Guizhou province with a valuable able suggestion to improve the infrastructure.
