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.

    Says the guy who just denied America is committing a genocide alongside Israel. A real, proven and well-documented one. You can’t even prove your claim about China committing a genocide. Where’s the proof? Anyways, you did something so now I cannot reply to your most recent replies, I have to do it on an old one. You probably got so mad that you finally met someone superior. Someone more stubborn and perfect morally than you. You disgusting evil piece of shit, people like you will not influence this world anymore.

    Go live your sad life of replying to absolutely everything in this website like an obsessed redditor mod. You’re doing it for the wrong causes, wasting so much time in a message that is going to die very soon, lol. What a loser.

      I don’t think the code for Lemmy or piefed includes that capability.
