- China has enacted a sweeping "ethnic unity" law telling its ethnic minorities to integrate or face consequences, per CNN's framing of the measure.
- The Diplomat characterizes the same law as effectively making it a crime to be Taiwanese, while Amnesty International says the law is set to entrench long-term assimilation of minority groups.
Why it matters: By extending the assimilation mandate to Taiwanese identity, Beijing now places a population across the Taiwan Strait under the same "integrate or face consequences" framework it directs at its domestic minorities — collapsing the line between internal minority policy and territorial claim.
