Ethnic minorities have actively participated in the political life in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, according to figures cited at Saturday's press conference on the economic and social development of the region.
Wu Yingjie, secretary of Tibet Autonomous Regional Committee of the Communist Party of China, said over 75 percent of deputies from the region to the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, are from the Tibetan and other ethnic minorities.
Ethnic minorities account for more than 90 percent of all national political advisors from Tibet, Wu added.
Tibet has also witnessed primary-level Party organizations being strengthened with over 81 percent of its 410,000-plus Party members from ethnic minorities, Wu noted.
From 1952 to today, the number of Party organizations in Tibet surged from 57 to 21,900, said Wu.
