China's Dystopian "Ethnic Unity" Law Goes into Effect as China Goes Backward in the World Again

The Chinese Communist Party's dystopian and deceptively-named "Ethnic Unity and Progress Law," is set to go into force on July 1.

“This law is an ugly escalation of the CCP’s cruelty and paranoia, and China plans to use it to continue its harassment and intimidation of critics who live beyond its borders. China will also use it to further perpetuate atrocities and to legitimize its abuse of Tibetans, Uyghurs, and other people of faith, as well as people it classifies as minority nationalities. This week as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence, the CCP is going backwards and showing once again it does not believe in the God-given rights we enjoy. The true national unity the CCP seeks comes not from oppression, but from citizens freely living and worshipping as they please,” said Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China.

China’s new law has been condemned by human rights organizations, lawmakers, and government officials from around the world.
