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.
You don’t know if you support this or not? Sounds like you heard “China” and came to argue without having a personal view. Before I answer your questions, I need to know where you stand on it. Or do you not have individual thoughts and feelings?
Can you live in your country (have a job, pay taxes, buy a house, raise kids) without using the official language of the state? In mine is not possible.
Yes, like American bigots screaming ‘love it or leave it,’ and ‘stand for the flag, kneel for the cross,’ or other demands to adopt an identity rooted in American nationality with allegiance to ethnic majority culture.
The ones trying to make the majority language the only official primary language, even in communities where yeehaw jingoism has done considerable damage, or outright stolen entire nations’ worth of land.
The ones eager to project that, globally, as if sovereignty is when you get to say what people do in other countries.
They’ll never answer you in good faith because they’re hypocrites. They cry and scream about genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid when Israel does it, but they’ll turn around and praise China for doing the same exact things.
The reality is that they have no morals, no values, and no principles. If Israel was Marxist by name and was anti-American to some degree, you’ll see these same exact types come out and defend Israel for fighting the CIA funded Palestinian color revolution and their terrorism against the liberated Israeli workers. Logical consistency is the biggest enemy of zealous tankies.
You guys really don’t know how to read. Nowhere in the article it says that they ban or consider it a “division” being of a different ethnicity other than the main one, you just made shit up.
I’m literally replying to your quote from the article?
did you read the article?
Organizations and individuals outside mainland China that “undermine” ethnic unity or “create ethnic division” will also be held liable, the law says – a broad-based stipulation that critics say will impact activism, research and discussion of ethnic minority issues globally.
if you are held legally liable that means your not allowed to do the thing. how is that not a ban?

Re-read the sentence but slowly. Yes, you are held legally accountable if you create divisions among or undermine the 56 different officially recognised ethnicities.
The same way the US or Russia or Israel (and their agency and organisations) should be held responsible for instigating divisions in other countries. That’s really it.
It’s “”banning”” foreign interference in the social and ethnic fabric of the country.
Oh no!! Can you imagine the US without Israeli interference? People would be forced to think by themselves!!
You can spin it and call it what you want, but you can’t change reality. Unfortunately for you this is not what the law we are discussing says.
And if you are thinking: “holdup, this is challenging my worldview too much! Is it possible that I’m wrong? No CNN must be right!” I have a lot of bridges to sell to you man.
What they mean by division is other cultures existing.
What they mean by unity is everyone acting like Beijing, or getting re-educated.
If you applied this to Burgerland it would mean Spanish is illegal and Muslims better watch their ass. Which you’d surely have no trouble condemning, since it’s obviously intolerable and the Bad Camp did it.
According to your special mind. In the meantime the law says something else. The other languages in china are not banned, you are just fabricating a reality you feel comfortable in. It’s okay boy, as long as you are happy, I’m happy :)
Ah, looks like you finished your tokens for today. Would you like to buy 100 more tokens for the low low price of 259,99$?
Sorry I don’t take questions from rude users who think they are right until their back is against the wall. You can go read the article, it’s in English.
The article that says they’re banning schools in other languages? Like we’re talking about, and you’re denying? You fraud?
You can weasel around and say it’s only the primary language, but that’s still banning schools… in other languages. It’s turning every identity besides Han + Mandarin into a secondary identity, barely tolerated, with oversight. It makes their existence conditional on ongoing state approval. That’s ethnic cleansing. That’s bloodless erasure of any local identity, where local can mean, the entirety of Tibet.
You don’t get to sneer ‘RTFA!’ when TFA opens with ‘loyalty to the party is mandatory.’
Hey no, no you are getting boring now, don’t do this to me bro.
Let’s do this game, I won’t reply anymore until you find me in the article the words “banning schools”. You said the article said it, please quote.
Maybe you are referring to this bit (?):
Under the new rules, schools and government agencies must use Mandarin Chinese as their primary language; classrooms must ensure that their curriculum “forges a strong sense of the community of the Chinese people,” and all parents must guide children to “love the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people.”
Unfortunately you refuse to understand the English language.
It’s turning every identity besides Han + Mandarin into a secondary identity, barely tolerated, with oversight. It makes their existence conditional on ongoing state approval. That’s ethnic cleansing.That’s bloodless erasure of any local identity, where local can mean, the entirety of Tibet.
This vomit is pure fabrication.
Bear in mind, I’m dog-walking all of you fucks using CNN AS A SOURCE. I didn’t even put my sources because you racists babies immediately start screaming “Aaaaa we only like white people newspaperrr!!! Everything else is propaganda!!”
‘I’ve quoted what I demand you prove, making me the victor!’
What else could it mean, Wimp Lo?
This is why I tried asking your interpretation. You don’t appear to have one. You just posture and spit, as if ‘all schools must use this primary language’ is somehow different from banning schools in another primary language. Can you even form a contrary positive claim? Do you know what having a position looks like, besides performing arrogance?
Can you tell me why do you think this law is bad?
Should we strive for divisions among ethnicities? Like burgerland?
That talk about ethnic unity sounds a bit right wingery
It’s just the same old ML supporting ethnic cleaning when it’s what they’re told to support.
Ah nice, you don’t know how to reply and start inventing shit. Very smart discussion. Still waiting to know how the law is bad eh… (͡•_ ͡• )
You don’t know if you support this or not? Sounds like you heard “China” and came to argue without having a personal view. Before I answer your questions, I need to know where you stand on it. Or do you not have individual thoughts and feelings?
‘This is ethnic cleansing.’
‘Yeah but why’s it bad?’
Peak tankie take
The law says it’s ethnic cleansing or is it your fantasy interpretation? Mmm 🤔
The same right wings that tells you to hate brown people? These unity talk you mean? 🫤
The same one talking about ethnic unity within their preferred groups yeah
Within and among are different words in English with different meanings but ok.
I’m guessing it’s a translation issue since the law mandates using Mandarin etc
Yes, as a main language not as only language. Again here English language did a trick ehehe sneaky little education…
You’re saying it’s fine because they’re forcing it as just the main language and not the only one…?
Can you live in your country (have a job, pay taxes, buy a house, raise kids) without using the official language of the state? In mine is not possible.

It is bad because out of China’s 56 officially recognized ethnicities, 55 are suppressed, and this law makes everything worse.
I guess the source is your cousin living there right?
…by reasons that can’t be explained. Ok, cool. Good talk.
Do you think it’s a good thing?
How promoting unity among ethnicities a bad thing? At least on paper yes I agree with it.
Is it okay when Israel does it?
They’ll never answer you in good faith because they’re hypocrites. They cry and scream about genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid when Israel does it, but they’ll turn around and praise China for doing the same exact things.

Bro what are you smoking? Ahahah did you just let the autocorrect reply? Wtf
So you don’t actually have your own thoughts and feeling on the subject? Do you or do you not support this law in China?
So you don’t know how to write or how to read. I already wrote my “feelings” above :/ do you want me to quote myself or you know how to search for it?
Do you support this law in China?
Ok I quote myself. As the great infallible hell_nah_brother (praise upon him) said:
Did I satisfied your requests agent? Can you now, finally, tell me why do you think this law is bad?
‘You will act just like the majority or else’ is perfectly fine, says oppression understander.
why is having an identity that isn’t common considered division?

Walk us through what you think this law actually does.

No you are right, primary language equals banning schools equals ethnic cleansing. Everything is the same. No nuances, fuck reality. 🥱😴
