Most countries in the world are multi-ethnic countries today. Political integration of a multi-ethnic country, that's to say how to coordinate the multi-ethnic and political integration relations are almost all the multi-ethnic countries can not avoid a practical problem in the new century. China as a unified multi-ethnic country together with its internal various nationalities of Chinese nation and its relation to the recognition of China is still one of the important practical issues. Studying from the political horizon actively intervene to political integration of multi-ethnic country is not only an academic exploration, but also a realistic option.At first, the paper has explained the core concept of the article, such as nationality,multi-ethnic country and political integration etc. Then begins with the ethnic structure of a multi-national country, the paper considers the multi-ethnic structure of the modern multi- ethnic country is a common phenomenon. "Diversity in unity" is a main feature to ethnic composition of a multi-ethnic country. Our multi-ethnic structure is the pattern of the diversity in unity of the Chinese nation. It consists of 56 national units multiple integrated a whole. "Diversity in unity" is a starting point on political integration of modern Chinese multi-ethnic country.Based on the ethnic structure of a multi- ethnic country, in achieving political integration of multi- ethnic country process, multi-ethnic country has some political designs. Form of state structure,basic political system and corresponding policy system are elements of these political designs. The political designs are political protection in achieving political integration of multi-ethnic country and play an important role in achieving political integration of multi-ethnic country process. In China, unitary system is a political pattern on political integration of our multi- ethnic country. Regional ethnic autonomy is the basic political system on political integration of our multi-ethnic country. Fundamental ethnic policy of equality and unity,basic ethnic policy of regional ethnic autonomy and other specific preferential policies are policy system on political integration of our multi-ethnic country. These political designs are play an active role in achieving political integration of our multiethnic country. But in the new century, these political designs of some loopholes and imperfections still affect on our political integration of a multi- ethnic country.Nationalism is closely linked with the political integration of a multi-ethnic country. The relation of nation and state nationalism is the core issue, also a basic problem of multi-ethnic country political integration. Nationalism has two diametrically opposite functions: unity and secession. After Cold War, nationalism has fully demonstrated its split functions. In China, nationalism has played a unified function on political integration of multi-ethnic country. At the same time, China will still exist extreme nationalism also act split function and affect political integration of our multi-ethnic country.Other facts, we can learn a good lesson. through studying integration path on the national federation of the former Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia and multiculturalism of Canada,the United States and other countries. Undoubtedly, the former lessons of failure and the latter successful experience have great inspiration in political integration of a multi-ethnic country.Based on certain loopholes of political design multi-ethnic country and nationalism split functions, and on the basis of drawing a lesson and learning experience of other countries, Political integration of a multi-ethnic country not only guarantees prerequisite and foundation of national unity, but also respects ethnic and multicultural diversity. That is to say, "Single unit with pluralism" is the reality path to political integration of a multi- ethnic country. Specifically speaking, we shall do as the following tips: cement multi-ethnic country clan-based, consolidate multi-ethnic country political basis, solid multi-ethnic country economic foundation and enhance multi- ethnic country cultural foundation.Through implying and carrying out the long-term integration path, "political alliance" and "cultural integration" as the ultimate goal will gradually realize on multi-ethnic country of political integration.
