Ethnic unity or mandated monoculture? How a law in China threatens critics in Australia

from SBS News In Depth

A new law in China requires parents to guide their children to love the Chinese Communist Party, schools to teach a government-approved version of Chinese history, and all citizens to refrain from doing anything the government deems not conducive to promoting a unified Chinese ethnicity. With the laws extending to critics abroad, minority ethnic groups like the Uyghurs and Tibetans say the laws codify and expand longstanding policies of forced assimilation and threaten to silence critics around the world.
