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.

sure. do ethnical minorities born in, say, spain not have to learn spanish?
tell me of states where this isn’t true.
I don’t know where it isn’t true. I know it isn’t right - anywhere.
then put your money where your mouth is and fight it in your own country instead of acting all twisted up when some country starts doing it.
spanish is the second most spoken language in the us, do you speak it?
You’re putting so much energy into justifying China’s repression of Uyghurs. You must really hate them.
you’re putting so much energy throwing mexicans in concentration camps, and palestinians in coffins.
but sure, Bad Country people have to learn Bad Country language now. so repressive.
can you speak any spanish at all though? do you put your money where your mouth is?
You’re making up so many scenarios in your head. Somehow you think I support the bad shit being done by a country not involved in this discussion and want me to speak in spanish to prove something. Get help… if that’s allowed where you live.
wait a second. is the palestine genocide a made up scenario in my head? is the fact most countries teach their kids their national language fake?
the mental gymnastics here are incredible.
maybe it’s you should learn some spanish, and stop forcing your language and culture on them.
