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.
Now, that push has been codified into a sweeping new law that reaches into classrooms, neighborhoods and homes – and gives Beijing the right to target people outside of its borders that it believes violate its rules.
The statute, officially known as the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, came into effect on July 1. It bans acts that “undermine ethnic unity or create ethnic division” among China’s 56 officially recognized ethnicities, which include a Han Chinese majority that makes up over 90% of the country’s 1.4 billion people.
Both China and the US are fascist. So they’re about the same.
Yeah, fascists will call themselves socialist, democratic, or even communist if it serves their goal of gaining power.
You need to do a lot of due diligence on anyone calling themselves a socialist.
I think there’s a bit of a difference especially when considering foreign policy in the modern age. I mean how many civilians have died as the result of military actions taken by China compared to the US in the last 50 years?
Are we including Indigenous peoples?

My criticism was aimed at US foreign policy. I mean China really hasn’t invaded anyone since their attempt with Vietnam, and unlike America they seemed to learn from the experience.
As far as domestic crimes against humanity, it would be hard to compare. China has much longer history as a nation, but a much shorter history in their current government.
