Got it, thanks.

The “topic” is a naked propaganda article loosely related to linguistics, whose aim is not to inform about policy changes that might impact minority language teaching but to smear China as a dictatorship. Either delete the post as it is clearly barely on-topic as is, or let people discuss its shortcomings.

Any discussion on the PRC’s policy regarding minority language teaching that tries desperately to hide the fact that the PRC has some of the most progressive affirmative action for minorities to maintain their culture and language roots has got a clear and obvious agenda. The article can’t even help but concede that this, potentially (in the way the author has decided to frame the policy), is a retreat from the PRC’s original and historic position of minority language dominance in minority ethnic regions. It falls back on interpreting a part of the potential policy that is to be debated at congress as “criminalising advocacy of ethnic minority rights”, the title of the post itself, which is an absolute reach and completely poisoning the framing of the discussion.

Slop that refuses to acknowledge how the Congress system actually functions, trying to make out that the Central Committee dictates policies to Congress instead of the other way around.

This is Chinese democracy in action and these worms want to pretend like Xi Jingping himself sets the legislative agenda. Just vile, overt propaganda.

Even if this policy is regressive on the previously first-class affirmative action policies set by the early PRC, you can barely trust anything written in this article with its complete inability to describe the truth and how the PRC actually functions.
