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.

You only reinforced people's belief that all of this hatred toward China is so fishy. After all the lies Western Media has spread before, we should trust them with this because..? I'm not discarding the possibility of China committing genocide, but I am highly skeptical of you and your sources after the reputation you culminated and keep culminating by responding like this instead of answering the important questions. It's so easy to make a "Cultural Integration" sound like "Cultural Genocide," you just have to convince people like you that China will disappear those cultures after integrating them, but the law explicitly says it plans to conserve their texts, teach their languages and so on. Since you don't respond to any of this, and judging by the maturity of your responses, people will be forced to imagine that you will just dismiss that with something lazy like "they always lie" and nothing else. But guess we will never know, because you care more about yourself, not these genocides.

To be honest, it is thanks to people like you that thousands of my people in Mexico, Gaza and Lebanon are dying. You sound like you are funded by AIPAC. My grand-grandpa came from Lebanon, he had to escape it because of Israel and the US. Almost 100 years later and shit hasn't changed. And what I come across online is a fucking piece of shit asking "Are you going to address the part where you are making up things to be mad at me about?" and not answering the cries of those thousands of dead people. I am not making shit up, this is who you are, someone who ignores the important questions and instead wastes time with short replies like those. Disgusting demon.

“America’s government is a terrorist. America and Israel are genocidal and have been for decades while successfully gaslighting most of their populations about it.”

If you're a human, and not funded by AIPAC, you'd agree with that statement so easily and quickly. But you're avoiding it just the same way democrats funded by AIPAC do when asked to condemn actual genocides committed by actual terrorist States, like the USA and Israel's genocide on Gaza and Lebanon. And because you do that, it's harder for people to trust you when you talk about other genocides. That's part of my main point. Your reputation is so rotten, to the point that everything you hate must actually mean it's something good. As you can see, I keep repeating that I am open to the possibility of China committing genocide, but I can't trust Western sources alone, especially CNN and Fox News, after watching endless hours of them showing their true colors for the past 2 years.

I feel like I could also just bait your true intentions here, your true values, if I asked you if you know and have an opinion on someone like Hasan Piker. Do you know him? Do you have an opinion of him?

Do you really think that if I’m funded by AIPAC that I’m going to say Israel is a genocidal nation just like China?

Why did you omit America again?

It's the USA and Israel. USA being the worst, because it armed Israel. The USA happily designed, forged and created the bombs, missiles and bullets used to blow the heads of some poor children in Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc off, effectively creating further rancor and ire down the line, so that they can do it again 20 years later under the disguise of "freedom." Hamas exists thanks to the USA. Hamas is made up by the orphans they left behind after they bombed them decades ago. Why are you omitting all this important context?
