Chinese Democracy Groups Criticize Ethnic Unity Law at New York Forum
Overseas Chinese pro-democracy groups, scholars, and activists condemned China's Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress at a New York forum. They argued the law enforces Han-centric assimilation policies that threaten the cultural, religious, and political rights of ethnic minorities, particularly Tibetans. Key speakers highlighted concerns about the law's impact on Tibetan identity and the enrollment of over one million Tibetan children in state-run boarding schools. The event coincided with Taiwan's Double Ten National Day celebrations.
