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.
As someone who lived in China for about 5 years, it’s amazing reading people’s comments on China that have never been there, but they watch bullshit propaganda tictoks, and think they know what they’re talking about.
I’m 43 from the US. For how ridiculously racist the world thinks the US is because they have the most whiney people with victim syndrome (because you know we have free speech and China doesn’t), I have heard/seen legitimately 10x more racist shit living in China in 5 years than I’ve heard over the last 38 years of my life.
There’s government messages all over to hate/kill Japanese. They have an amusement park in the south (I forget where) where it’s a replica US aircraft carrier you can visit and outside there’s an activity where you can stop US tressed dummies with a bayonet.
China thrives on the imbalance of information between itself and the US. They abuse freedom of speech in the US while controlling all media outlets, social sites, and WeChat in their own country.
chinese hate on japanese is justified and you shouldnt cry about it
