National Aid Program for Tibet

The Chinese government has been implementing a special aid program for Tibet in order to help this border region achieve step change. After the peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1951, the central government developed a series of special policies and measures to support development efforts in Tibet, and encouraged relatively developed provinces and cities to join the endeavor. In the 1980s, the central leadership gave priority in its ethnic initiatives to accelerating progress in Tibet on the basis of ethnic equality. Following the Second Central Conference on Tibet in 1984, a nationwide aid campaign was launched, and financial aid increased annually. A major decision on division of responsibility among other provinces and cities and central government agencies in implementing aid projects was made at the Third Central Conference on Tibet in 1994, which called for dispatching groups of personnel to provide needed support and expertise there on a rotating basis. This gave a further boost to the aid campaign. These aid-assisted projects have helped improve urban infrastructure, medical services, public health, education, and environmental protection, and promote the development of sports and culture, leading to significant improvement in the well-being of the Tibetan people

援藏政策

援藏工作是中國政府支援幫助西藏實現跨越式發展的重要方式與途徑。西藏和平解放后，中央政府制定了一系列特殊政策和措施，幫助和扶持西藏發展，并動員和組織內地發達地區支援西藏建設。20世紀80年代，中央把立足民族平等、加快西藏發展作為民族工作的重點。1984年中央第二次西藏工作座談會后，國家對西藏經濟支持力度逐年增大，全國性的援藏工程開始。1994年第三次西藏工作座談會做出了“分片負責，對口支援，定期輪換”支援西藏的重大決策，全國支援西藏工作出現新局面，促進了西藏經濟社會的快速發展。中央政府和各兄弟省市的支援項目涵蓋城市基礎設施建設、醫療、衛生、教育、體育、文化等，極大促進了西藏社會發展、文化繁榮、環境保護和民生改善。
