Lmao this is cultural genocide 101. I know because soviet union did the same to my country under the same absurd language like “unity” and “greatness”. Even if you are delusioned here you have to admit these are almost satire levels of red flags, no?

It would be a red flag if the law interfered with the many regional laws that mandate minority languages be taught in schools. This law does not do that at all. It explicitly guarantees the right to learn and use minority languages. To compare it to the cultural genocide of settler colonial countries that enforced language bans with violence and brutality is ridiculous. Also don’t just apply whatever context you’re familiar with onto China. You’re severely underestimating the amount of cultural and lingual diversity in China. As I said before, Mandarin is a constructed language that was developed relatively recently, very unlike Russian. The vast majority of people in China do not learn Mandarin as their first language. That includes most of China’s political leaders. You’re basically trying to suggest that these people want to destroy their own regional languages and culture which is just absurd.
