Concerning move

It's hard not to worry this is just a prettier name for forced assimilation. When you extend this kind of law overseas, who decides what's 'undermining unity'? Feels like a huge overreach.

What’s China’s new ethnic unity law, and what does it mean for minorities?

Critics say it could hasten forced assimilation, lead to targeting of critics outside China. Beijing rejects charges.

In Kazakhstan, we've seen this before under Soviet rule. Not falling for it again.

Exactly. Slippery slope, brother. Today it's unity, tomorrow your identity.

As a Malay, this hits close. We already feel marginalized in our own land sometimes.

Overreach for sure. What's next, banning hijab because it stands out?

Who decides? Probably the same people who never had to fight for their culture.

Laws should protect diversity, not crush it under some fake unity slogan.

This ain't unity, it's erasure. My Arabic is part of my deen and my being.

Scary. Imagine being punished abroad for speaking your mother tongue.

Overseas law? That's just neo-colonialism with extra steps, man.
