China's New 'Ethnic Unity' Law Raises Alarm for Indian Neighbours and Global Rights Groups
The Guardian·Friday, 3 July 2026
China's Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress came into effect despite warnings from Taiwan, the United Nations, and rights groups. Critics say it could further erode the rights of Uyghurs and Tibetans, and even allow Beijing to pursue dissidents abroad. The law aims to forge a shared national identity, which opponents call forced assimilation.
Why It Matters
India shares a long border with China and has historically supported Tibetan refugees, so a law that tightens Beijing's grip on minority regions — and potentially targets dissidents overseas — directly affects India's regional security calculations.
