For years, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has pushed ethnic minority groups like Tibetans and Uyghurs to adopt an identity rooted in Chinese nationality and allegiance to the ruling Communist Party.
Now, that push has been codified into a sweeping new law that reaches into classrooms, neighborhoods and homes – and gives Beijing the right to target people outside of its borders that it believes violate its rules.
The statute, officially known as the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, came into effect on July 1. It bans acts that “undermine ethnic unity or create ethnic division” among China’s 56 officially recognized ethnicities, which include a Han Chinese majority that makes up over 90% of the country’s 1.4 billion people.
It’s quite standard fascist discourse:
Point to real problem that everybody wants to solve; declare that some policy they want (almost always some kind of racism) is the only solution; do some genocide as the means of implementing the policy.
Define how exact this is a racist policy, please. Be precise.
“Define how this policy targeting the cultural extermination of a racial group is racist. Please be precise. I need nits to pick.”
They weren’t handing out many brain cells the day you were born, were they?
Genocide apologist.
Please, and I do mean this, please read the fucking text of the law.
This is the opposite of cultural extermination. This explicitly defines cultural and language protections wherein the protected groups are required to have their language and culture and history in schools.
You illiterate cunt.
Alexa, what is definitional narrowing? The act of dictating what rights are allowed and preserved while giving the state authority to punish anything they deem outside those boundaries.
“This law is setting up ghettos where the jews explicitly get to live and explicitly defining what parts of their culture they can practice, it’s literally good for them”
