This is a very slanted and obviously biased article. The US official spends BILLIONS on anti-china propaganda. Part of that is cultivating people like Simone McCarthy (who some observers^* say is related to related Joseph McCarthy, the inventor of McCarthyism).
It bans acts that “undermine ethnic unity or create ethnic division”
What, like banning hate speech or race based discrimination? What does it mean?
The state is mandated to support museums, libraries and other cultural institutions to hold events reflecting Chinese history and national prosperity
Horrifiying!
EDIT: China does have problems with racism, so this seems like a perfectly reasonable goal to have.
local authorities must work toward ethnic integration in their housing policies – a stipulation observers suggest
DEI? BUT AT WHAT COST???
Organizations and individuals outside mainland China that “undermine” ethnic unity or “create ethnic division” will also be held liable
Separatism is part of the standard playbook of the CIA / NED for regime change. Generally regimes don’t like being targeted for regime change. Would you?
If you personally have ever been targeted for regime change, please share your experiences below.
the law appears to be a final step in a years-long evolution of Chinese policy to emphasize national identity over ethnic autonomy.
Xi, who came to power in 2012 following widespread 2008 protests in Tibet and deadly unrest in Xinjiang, home to its Uyghur minority.
Yeah there was a little international funded terrorism there. At least China didn’t start multiple imperialist “wars on terror”.
What liberals don’t seem to understand is that the USA spends billions to undermine and foment dissent and chaos in other countries they consider enemies or rivals. This is a real issue other “shithole” countries who don’t bow to US imperialist pressure have to content with. And there are no easy or simple or pretty solutions. It’s easy for the CIA to disseminate lies or hate or nationalism. This CNN article is just adding insult to injury.
The whole idea of “cultural genocide” is ludicrous. The USA has replaced cultures with copies of McDonalds and Starbucks worldwide and their insidious and delicious Hollywood movies. The USA regime does this, and they let capitalism run wild which in the balance of things helps them. They use soft power and push policies like copyright and drug policies and economic ideology and get them adopted globally.
But if any other state tries to create and instill a culture in their population, oh it’s soooo evil! Fucking China bad from CNN. Any mention of “human rights campaigner” has long lost all meaning because most are logically funded by either CIA or plutocrats.
What the Chinese are saying is perfectly reasonable, there is agitation and it’s a problem. But it’s being cast through the lens of “evil regime, evil people” to make it sound ominous.
The sensible way would be to sell little $5 USB dongles only to 18+ people that allow you to tap in a short simplified ID code to identify yourself as an adult. It would be good enough for age verification, hell make it illegal to pass it to minors, like it is with hard liquor or cigarettes. Would be anonymous without requiring a phone number (and ID indirectly), and could store encryption keys. And it would solve the problem of porn and age verification. It would solve so many problems.
When signing up to an account you need one of those and if you get banned you need to buy another one. That prevents abuse and trolling too. They would be cheap, but people would still not spam them. And they don’t require two factor bullshit or phone numbers, because they are a secure device already. The same dongle could be used for online banking in addition to your passcode.
This is trivial to solve. What they want is mass surveillance. Which makes them traitors.
