Xi Jinping's assimilation policy sparks condemnation amid global distractions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

President Xi Jinping is implementing a "sinicisation" policy, which includes a new "ethnic unity" law, aimed at forcibly assimilating China's ethnic and religious minorities into a dominant Han Chinese culture. This policy, which expands the compulsory use of Mandarin and suppresses distinct languages and customs, has been condemned by rights organizations like Amnesty International and Western governments as a form of ethnic cleansing. Despite international criticism and protests, such as the self-immolation of a Free Tibet activist, Xi's government continues to tighten its control, creating a compliant population and asserting China's dominance on the global stage.
