China has passed a new ‘ethnic unity’ law which critics warn could in fact worsen the rights of ethnic minorities. Children must now be taught in Mandarin rather than their native language. There are 55 ethnic minority groups in China which represent less than 10 per cent of the...

Officially, the People’s Republic of #China promotes its cultural diversity, yet the assimilation of ethnic minorities is a reality. China systematically suppresses ethnic and religious minorities, such as Uyghurs and Tibetans. Their self-determination is now set to be further restricted: In March, the National People’s Congress passed a “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity.” Mandarin is to be prioritized in all schools, government offices, and public life. There are approximately 300 languages and dialects in China, which now face the threat of being forcibly silenced. The resulting erosion of the cultural and religious identity of millions of people is deliberate and constitutes yet another unacceptable attack on universal human rights. Especially in light of our historical responsibility, we Europeans must clearly address this forced assimilation and oppose it with confidence.

So someone told you Muslims in China can't practice their faith? Let's help you out of the propaganda and into the truth. There are 39,000 Mosques in China. The majority being Hui ethnic minority, followed by Uygur, followed by Khazak, and many other ethnic groups as well. Here is just one example of an active Mosque in China. I've been to dozens in China to photograph, video, and report. Credit: #Islam #Mosque #China

Interesting how we're in China and everything is written in Korean, because this is a region (we're in the city of Yanji) with many Korean ethnic people. That's consistently been my experience traveling around China: if a region has a high concentration of a different ethnic minority, everything is written in their language.

4/ Then 🇨🇳 Beijing's delegate joined in, exercising a Right of Reply: China accused UN Watch of “fabricating lies” and “maliciously smearing China’s economic cooperation with UN Special Procedure mandate holders, which we firmly reject.” “China has always constructively cooperated with the UN human rights mechanisms including the special procedures... Why has China's good will not been cherished but instead distorted and maligned?” “China has repeatedly reaffirmed that Taiwan, Xinjiang, Xizang (Tibet), and Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs. They concern China’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. The Chinese government and people are best placed to speak on these issues, and brook no interference by any country or external forces.” “China is a unified multiethnic country, and the relations between ethnic groups are that of equality, unity, mutual assistance, and harmony.” “Enhancing the rule of law will better protect legitimate interests of all ethnic groups and enhance unity and promote joint development.” “We attach great importance to protecting the culture of ethnic minorities and and the languages and the spoken language of any groups.” “Our practices and achievements have been widely acknowledged and supported by the international community.” “We urge the NGOs to stop spreading false information and political maneuvering in order to play a positive rather than a negative in international human rights cooperation. I thank you.”

To understand China, you need to experience the real China 🇨🇳 I’m in a small mountainside village 3 hours deep in the Guizhou province, having a 16 RMB ($2.36) dinner next to a lady from one of China’s ethnic minorities She is one of the 55 ethnic minorities in China that represents about 9% of the population. She is speaking in her local dialect that I and the local Guizhou people do not understand, although she mixes in a little bit of Mandarin here and there! I love getting outside the major cities and coming to parts of China that few foreigners ever see!

🇺🇸 America to Beijing: Hands off Tibet. Just days after a Tibetan activist self-immolated outside the UN, the State Department is reaffirming U.S. support for Tibetans’ right to their culture, language, and faith — free from CCP interference. “The United States is committed to supporting the unalienable human rights and aspirations of Tibetans." This comes as China just rammed through its new “Ethnic Unity” law — forcing Mandarin in schools, erasing Tibetan identity, and claiming the right to punish critics overseas. Human rights groups say it codifies transnational repression targeting Tibetans, Uyghurs, Hong Kongers, and Falun Gong. Congress is moving resolutions in both chambers to condemn China's new law. Tibetans are tearing up copies of the law in protest. #Tibet #CCP #HumanRights

A striking glimpse of China’s assimilation policies in East Turkistan. A sign inside a police station in Urumchi explicitly orders people to: “Speak the national language. Speak Mandarin.” This image shows what China’s Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, which entered into force on July 1, 2026, means in practice: the further institutionalization of assimilation under the banner of “ethnic unity,” targeting Uyghur language, culture, and identity. When Uyghurs are told even inside police stations which language they must speak, this is not simply language policy—it is state-enforced assimilation. The Uyghur language is an inseparable part of our identity, culture, and heritage.

“Shame on Communist China!” Tons of Tibetans gathered outside of the Chinese consulate in Toronto (which closed early out of fear that their staff would learn the truth about the CCP) to protest the new law on “ethnic unity”. More proof that in practice, communism is the racist and imperialist ideology in the world.

Australia has once again condemned the Chinese Communist Party's human rights record, expressing grave concern over ongoing abuses in Tibet and East Turkestan and the continued erosion of freedoms in Hong Kong. Canberra also warned that China's new Ethnic Unity Law carries serious human rights risks, raising fears that it will further entrench the forced assimilation of Tibetans, Uyghurs, and other ethnic minorities. As repression deepens, the world must move beyond words and hold the CCP accountable. #FreeTibet #HumanRights #StopForcedAssimilation #Tibet #Uyghur #HongKong

The Czech Republic has sounded the alarm over the Chinese Communist Party's escalating repression. It expressed serious concern over the human rights situation in Tibet, East Turkestan, and Hong Kong, warning that Beijing's new Ethnic Unity Law could become a powerful tool for the forced assimilation of Tibetans, Uyghurs, and other ethnic minorities. The world is speaking out. The CCP must be held accountable before another culture is erased. #FreeTibet #HumanRights #StopForcedAssimilation #Tibet #Uyghur #HongKong

Across mountains and seas: China-Africa people-to-people bonds deepen in Guizhou In the summer of 2026, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and African countries, diplomats and friendly personnel from nine African nations traveled to Guizhou, a mountainous province in southwestern China known for its rich ethnic diversity and breathtaking landscapes. There, they embarked on an immersive journey into rural China. The trip was jointly organized by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), the Guizhou Provincial People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, and the Guizhou Provincial Sports Bureau, as a key event of the 2026 China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges. On the Village Super League pitch in Rongjiang, they played a friendly match against a local amateur team. In Dong ethnic villages, they tried batik craft and witnessed firsthand the care and commitment with which China preserves its ethnic minority cultures, a living heritage passed down through generations. Every conversation and heartfelt interaction draws the Chinese and African peoples ever closer.

I’m outside the Chinese consulate where thousands of Tibetans have shown up for an emergency protest against the new CCP law for “ethnic unity and progress law”. The new law is, in classic Chinese fashion, promote neither unity nor progress and makes it basically illegal to exist as a non ethnic Han Chinese in CCP controlled areas.

VIDEO | On China's new ethnic law, Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) President Penpa Tsering said, "I think many people around the world have no idea how China functions, how it frames its laws, or whether there are contradictions within those laws. These are things the international community needs to understand better, because what China says is one thing, and what it does is another. In the case of the new ethnic unity law, it has a very appealing name, but in reality, it is a sinister policy that will have serious consequences for Tibetans in the future..."

The Trauma of a Little Ethnic Amhara Boy: A Disturbing Ethnic-Based Feeding System in Ethiopian School. In a heart-wrenching video footage that has recently surfaced, a little ethnic Amhara boy, approximately seven years old, narrates a distressing tale about the discriminatory ethnic-based feeding system in his school. According to the young boy, who remains unidentified, students are only allowed to partake in breakfast and lunch if they can speak the Oromo language. The boy explains that the current mayor of Addis Ababa introduced the school feeding program with two conditions: one must learn the Oromo language, and they must use it when prompted during meal times. Failure to respond in Oromo language results in exclusion from the meals. The child, having been forcibly evicted from Oromiya, admits that he once spoke Oromo but has since forgotten it and now primarily speaks Amharic. This discriminatory practice has sparked concerns about an alleged ethnic apartheid system in Ethiopia, particularly affecting ethnic Amharas. Critics argue that the current government, predominantly led by ethnic Oromos, seeks to replace the Amharic language, often regarded as the language of the colonizer, with Oromo, erasing any traces of Amhara heritage. The video raises troubling questions about the future of this young boy. Such traumatic experiences can have a lasting impact on their emotional well-being, potentially affecting their future outlook and behavior. Will he harbor feelings of vengeance due to the discrimination he experienced? Only time will tell.

China urges US, EU to stop lies and meddling in China's internal affairs by hyping up ethnic issues The West always looks at China’s ethnic policy through the mirror of its own crimes. They committed genocide against indigenous peoples. They built settler states on mass graves. They erased languages, cultures, tribes, and entire civilizations. So they assume China must be doing the same. But China is not the West. China is a multi-ethnic civilization-state where ethnic minorities are not colonial subjects, not museum props, and not disposable populations. They are Chinese citizens, part of the same national community. That is why most Chinese ethnic minorities abroad introduce themselves simply as Chinese — not because their identity was erased, but because the national identity is real. And the panic over “extraterritorial application” is comedy. Chinese citizens abroad are still Chinese citizens. They receive Chinese consular protection. They carry Chinese passports. They are naturally subject to Chinese law where applicable. That is not “long-arm jurisdiction.” Long-arm jurisdiction is Washington hunting foreign citizens across the world, sanctioning companies in third countries, freezing assets, kidnapping executives, and pretending U.S. domestic law is international law. The U.S. and EU are not worried about human rights. They are worried that China refuses to let them weaponize ethnicity, separatism, and identity politics as tools of internal sabotage. They are not defending minorities. They are trying to manufacture another pressure point. China has seen this script before. Different costume. Same empire.
