Activists fear China’s ethnic unity law could silence critics in Australia

Activists and community groups are raising alarms about China's new ethnic unity law, fearing it could suppress dissent in Australia and abroad. Thirty-nine organizations have issued a strong statement condemning the law, arguing it threatens freedom of expression and could lead to self-censorship among ethnic minorities. This move is seen as part of a broader crackdown on dissent, raising concerns about global implications for human rights and freedom of speech. The response highlights a growing international pushback against China's tightening grip on ethnic communities.
