China has approved a sweeping new law which claims to help promote “ethnic unity” - but critics say it will further erode the rights of minority groups.
On paper, it aims to promote integration among the 56 officially recognised ethnic groups, dominated by the Han Chinese, through education and housing. But critics say it cuts people off from their language and culture.
It mandates that all children should be taught Mandarin before kindergarten and up until the end of high school. Previously students could study most of the curriculum in their native language such as Tibetan, Uyghur or Mongolian.
When I was in grade school I would have gotten reamed for trying to cite any of these as sources. It should go without saying that they should be primary sources, not periodicals.
Does a single one of those links cite even a single reliable source?
You don’t need to trust China. Just use the basic critical reasoning we we taught in school.
My basic critical reasoning says that China is a fascist nation that supplies arms to several conflict regions and has produced more billionaires than the US this and last year. I find it funny they “fought the fascists” to just become fascist themselves. So they lost around 50 million citizens between the cultural revolution and the famine for nothing.
That is what my basic logic tells me.
That’s not critical reasoning. It’s just bigotry.
I didn’t even think of it like that. Yes, China is engaging in bigotry with their Muslim population.
It truly is bizarre the US, the most barbaric country ever, treats it Muslims better than China.
Also interesting parallels between slavery and forced labor China has made the Muslims engage in. Obviously China is fascist light compared to the US, but they sure are trying hard to make a name as the newest fascist nation to the block.
