Mint Quick Edit | China's new ‘ethnic unity’ law suggests an attempt at global dominion

China's new law, effective July, empowers Beijing to prosecute overseas individuals, including Tibetans and Uighurs, for undermining "ethnic unity." The author condemns this as an attempt to establish global dominion based on genetic lineages, trapping individuals in the regime's worldview. This overreach is particularly egregious given migration as an escape from oppression. Reports of secret Chinese policing units abroad reinforce concerns. The text calls for Chinese people worldwide to unite against this "nationalism gone wrong," asserting they have nothing to lose but their chains.
