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're making big leaps now on ad hominem, that I'd be rushing. Also you refer only to the files, as if (unconsciously?) shifting the goalposts.

Nothing is saying Epstein is the only node of the network. Nothing is saying that's the only network. Especially when countries act, have acted and keep on acting towards the shared agenda of these groups clearly "above" nations. China keeps a tighter lid for sure, but it has leaked in the past and it seems to differ when an ultra wealthy gets caught and skips the consequences or when one becomes an example. Just like everywhere else.

Still not enough for me to go and call random CCP officials, or any government's officials that haven't been exposed of anything or shown dubious acts "pedophiles" yet. I am not an Ethan Klein fan. Goodbye

Definitely the whole top of the pyramid at a global needs to be investigated instead of randoms. Some are enablers in other ways etc. And pedophilia isn't the only crime against humanity there.
