Xi Jinping’s ‘Forging’ of ‘Ethnic Unity and Progress’

In a major policy shift, China's leadership under Xi Jinping is pushing forward a new law that aims to redefine ethnic minority policies after decades of attempts to integrate these groups. This initiative seeks to balance development with cultural preservation, aiming for both economic progress and ethnic unity. Critics argue it could further marginalize minority cultures, raising concerns about human rights and social cohesion. This move underscores the government's ongoing efforts to assert control and align national identity with its vision of modernization.
