China has passed a law that will curtail the rights of minorities, under the pretext of defending social cohesion and national unity. From now on, minority languages ​​will disappear from education, religious practices will be monitored, and intermarriage will be encouraged. The so-called law to promote ethnic unity and progress, passed by the National People's Congress (NPC), is justified as supporting the development of ethnic minority communities. However, human rights groups consider it a tool of repression.
