Reviewing the path taken by the Chinese Communist Party, in exploration of the policy towards ethnic minorities in China pa, it can be observed that the ethnic policy system, with ethnic regional autonomy at the core. is based on a top-level design that pursues three values, namely; people of all ethnic groups are masters of the country, common prosperity, and true equality. However, in the implementation of such ethnic policies, a series of problems have been manifested and exposed, which not only affects the realization of value but also the gap between value pursuit and policy implementation. The reason for this gap is the de facto power game relationship between central leadership and ethnic areas, and lack of leadership and execution of the central government in promoting the implementation of ethnic policies. The key to resolving this gap, will rely on understanding how to ensure the real and effective exercise of autonomy in this game of centralization and ethnic decentralization.
