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.

    True but when you add in the sexual violence,

    Fun fact, this happens at all prisons all over the world, and the perpetrators are arrested, charged, and imprisoned for it when it does happen.

    the forced sterilization,

    Fun fact, while this was claimed by individuals that once alleged they had family members this happened to in Xinjiang, there was never any evidence of this provided during the UN probe, and the UN probe failed to find any victims of this. Just ‘Families’ of ‘victims’ that could not locate said victims despite allegedly being in contact with them.

    the mass murder it starts to look pretty damning.

    This didn’t happen, unless you’re talking about the US-lead terror attacks across Xinjiang which lead to the security increase and economic investment in the region. Kiddo.

    I will stop calling you kiddo when you decide that, unlike a child, you will actually look up evidence yourself instead of thinking “RadioFreeAsia” and other NED sponsored outlets.

        My guy no international observer has ever found evidence of a genocide. Not a single one. There have been no less than twenty international and UN investigations into this because of US propaganda. China is one of the most investigated countries in the history of the UN and Interpol.

        What was it you libs kept saying about Hillary Clinton? If she was hiding something surely it would’ve been found in the hours and weeks of interrogation she went through or the massive investigations?

        Apply that same logic to a country that has fully complied with all international requests and investigations.
