Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile Rejects China's 'Ethnic Unity' Law

• Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile unanimously adopted a resolution against China’s Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress.
• The resolution describes China's law as an attempt to dilute and erase Tibetan identity, violating international norms.
• Tibetan lawmakers link the legislation to Beijing’s “second-generation ethnic policy” aiming for forced assimilation under “Zhonghua Minzu.”
• Concerns include prioritizing Mandarin, reshaping curricula, sidelining Tibetan language, and altering cultural practices through “Sinicisation.”
• The resolution also flags extraterritorial reach, potentially targeting Tibetans and advocacy groups abroad for 'separatism'.
