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.

    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.

                So, your answer is obviously the USA, no? You really think the USA is still a better place than China. Great. Goodluck with that stance in the next decade. You better learn Mandarin, brother. There’s a reason the rich in your country are doing that.

                Dude, I already told you this post is from CNN and you are defending it. That is no different from promoting it, or using it as a source. You are defending an argument made by CNN, that’s reason enough to be upset about, because their messages have gotten millions of innocent people killed. As I said, Mexico keeps losing 30,000+ people to gun violence thanks to people who blindly support claims made by your media without digging a little further at all. Not even two scraps on the dirt with your nails. You just read the headline and that’s it, you think it’s 100% “correctly true.”

                You will never have real conviction or passion for what you fight for, because you’ve never been as close to Death as we have. I have seen you in Lemmy for like 2 years now, when Reddit banned APIs. You have a reputation here for being disruptive or controversial, but I never expected you to be like this.

                  I didn’t give you an answer because the real world is more complicated and nuanced than the question you asked.

                  Again you’re just making up reasons to be mad at me.

                    You made a big claim, that China is committing genocide, and you refuse to answer why or prove it. You made me go and read the goddamn law, because I am genuinely curious to see if it has holes that can be abused to kill or commit cultural genocide, but I found contradictions, which you’re refusing to address, and instead reply like a child.

                    The question is meant to show if you’re capable of measuring something as simple as evil vs good at its basic level. The fact you’d choose USA to be the influence of the world tells me you still have a lot to learn about it. It also shows if all this hatred for China is fake or not. If it’s a dick-measuring contest instead of genuine activism.

                    You just proved that you don’t really care about the things you preach. You are the lazy one not writing enough about something so important like genocide and the lives of thousands. You probably think people who write paragraphs like me are “schizos” or mentally ill. I keep getting those replies every time I talk about these things, including something as important as the genocide in Gaza. People would literally respond like you, “wow, that’s super lazy,” “the world is more complicated than that,” “you are making shit up just to hate Jews”… You can’t do justice to these things with one or two sentences like you’re doing it.
