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.

      By promoting CNN, he’s promoting a source that is known for serving the Jeffrey Epstein Class. He’s normalizing it, giving it reputation. Thanks to him, people will believe CNN more often, be more vulnerable to the propaganda they subtly spread, like their anti-socialist comments about people like Zohran or recent socialist winners like Kiroz, Valdez, etc.

      It’s almost like they are trying to win your blind approval with headlines that make you feel good, like hating China, just so you believe them more often when it comes to dismantling socialism. I refuse to accept that. I am still open to being proven wrong about China, but not with these. You come across as incredibly untrustworthy. If anything, you’re only going to strengthen positive public opinions about China if you keep relying on CNN or Fox News for these narratives.

          All your replies are MAGA-coded: Simplistic, short, an attack to the messenger, not the message. “Wow, that’s the laziest argument I’ve ever seen” without explaining why or answering anything. That’s literally how Republicans reply online all the time.

          You are likely a Jeffrey Epstein Class supporter, trying to stop people in Lemmy from using critical thinking.

          Otherwise, go on and prove to us that it is really a genocide, and not just more Western propaganda to dehumanize China the same way you dehumanized Muslims so you could genocide them, you disgusting monster. It’s literally your talent to justify genocides with shit that makes you sound morally superior. You are committing second-hand genocide on Mexico and the Middle East while saying you’re not, so, how can we trust you with this one? How can we trust anything you say about China is even real or not, if you have gone as far as lying about your own people “eating cats and dogs” or committing crimes at rates they are really not…

            I’m against all genocides.

            What Israel is doing to Palestine is as horrible and as disgusting as what China is doing to the Uyghurs or what Russia is doing to the Ukrainians.

              Ok, it seems you don’t really have any genuine tangible evidence to back anything up, you just rely on headlines and vibes. You probably don’t even read the article or the content itself, because it was so vague.

              Thanks for showing me that you benefit the Jeffrey Epstein Class. I am done here. Witnessing another monster further getting millions of innocent people killed by spreading this type of attitude and promoting sources like CNN, is just too disgusting. I don’t need this today. I’ve already dealt with so many MAGAs this week.

              And never forget to say “What the USA AND Israel are doing to Palestine and Lebanon.” Not just Israel. The USA is the biggest problem there, they are the enablers. Even the Nazis were inspired by the USA’s way of handling things, like their praise for eugenics, racial segregation and anti-miscegenation laws. I wonder why?

                  This post is from CNN and you’re rallying behind it like it’s your big brother. Don’t try to argue semantics here, man. Just own it. Are you one of those leftists who hate socialism and still think America should be the “World Police”?

                  We can cut the chase here and just answer this simple question: If forced to choose one to be the role model for the world, the one under the global spotlight, which one do you think would give us a better world? China or the USA? No other choice, imagine you only had those two. Which one would you choose? If you answer that, you will easily show us who you are, if you truly care about the truth and the people as you imply.

                    I’m not playing into your false dichotomy.

                    I knew you couldn’t show an example because you’re imagining reason to get upset about.
