There are 56 ethnicities in China—and 55 are getting squashed. A new law passed by the Chinese legislature is a grim milestone in the Communist Party’s harder-line approach to ethnic politics

There are many Russians in China, primarily because Russians are officially recognized as a legally designated ethnic minority by the Chinese government. As a result, they face no issues regarding identity recognition in China.

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 population. On paper, the new legislation aims to promote integration between minority groups and China says it’ll help people get jobs in the future. But critics argue that this will cut people off from their culture and language and is an attempt to assimilate them further into the Han ethnic majority. China has long been accused of restricting the rights of ethnic minorities such as Uyghurs, Mongols and Tibetans.

As we all know, there are 56 ethnic groups in China 🇨🇳 . Although each ethnic group has its own characteristics, its own clothes, its own language and so on, we are all the Chinese nation.

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.

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.

Eric Hovagim was a video editor on the Zohran campaign. He recently moved to China as an open supporter of the Chinese Communist Party. He posts pro-Chinese military edits and filmed a Uyghur restaurant in China in order to try claim there is no Uyghur oppression. He claims that China liberated Tibetans from slavery by invading and annexing their country. Tankies are scum.

The Chinese Communist Party is causing tremendous harm to the UK. Keir Starmer travelled to China, and Yvette Cooper met with the Chinese Foreign Minister. Yet Jimmy Lai is still in prison, and bounties are on the heads of Hongkongers living in the UK. Labour are continuing to kowtow to China.

“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.

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..."

Under the Chinese Communist Party’s rule, unemployment keeps surging while ordinary people are left in desperate poverty. The food delivery market is now completely saturated! Jobless workers, school dropouts, and fresh university graduates are all flooding in as delivery riders just to survive. The “Chinese Dream” has become a nightmare. #RealChina #ChinaEconomy #CCPFail #EndCCP

A Chinese jail dedicated to lock up the blacklisted Chinese personals. In China, if you are blacklisted by Social Credit Scoring System, by law, authorities can legally put you in a jail without a trial, twice a year, 15 days each time.

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

Monday the 20th is a normal working day. There are procedures to how public holidays are declared. We are in a country that is anchored by the rule of law. It’s wrong for anyone to declare a public holiday in disregard to the rule of law.
