- China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) is expected to approve a new “ethnic unity” law during its annual legislative session.
- The law aims to strengthen a shared national identity among China’s ethnic groups under the concept of a unified Chinese nation.
- It prioritizes Mandarin Chinese in education and public life, reducing the role of minority languages such as Tibetan, Uyghur, and Mongolian.
- Authorities frame the law as promoting “ethnic unity and progress” and national cohesion.
- Critics (including rights groups) say it institutionalizes assimilation policies and increases political control over minority groups.
- The law is tied to Xi Jinping’s “Sinicisation” policy, which encourages minorities to integrate into Han Chinese culture.
- Some analysts say it formalizes policies already implemented in regions like Xinjiang, Tibet, and Inner Mongolia.
- Provisions also encourage integration measures in areas such as education, migration, housing, and interethnic relations.
- The NPC session will also approve other major items including:
- A new environmental code to unify environmental laws.
- China’s 2026–2030 five-year economic plan and annual budget.
- The parliament is widely seen as a rubber-stamp body that almost never rejects proposals put forward by the Communist Party leadership.

Ah yes, cultural genocide.
In the “People’s” republic of China, you’re only allowed rights if you’re Han.
And even then only if you pledge allegiance to the CCP.
Rights to work 6 12s. Six days a week, twelve hours a day, for starvation wages. China is the devil not communist, eat a dick .ml
Always have been the case but at least they were pretending publicly to care now it’s all in the open.
I find it very apt that their brainless congress is shortened as NPC lmao
enriching ourselves with different cultures? nah, f that, from now on there’s only one culture for everyone!
history proves this is a really good idea! /s
And Cantonese. Just because its not a small minority doesn’t mean Beijing wants to overrun everything with Mandarin lol.
