The CCP’s new ‘unity’ law turns China’s repression into a global threat

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) enacted the 'Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress' on July 1, 2026, targeting Uyghurs, Tibetans, Southern Mongolians, Hong Kongers, Falun Gong practitioners, and others. The law criminalizes cultural preservation efforts, mandates Mandarin education, and enforces loyalty to the CCP, with provisions like penalizing interethnic marriage refusal and incentivizing surveillance.
