Beijing says its new ethnic unity law protects “the legitimate rights and interests of all ethnic groups” and “does not undermine ethnic minorities’ use of their own language.”

When asked about the potential for “long-arm jurisdiction” at a press conference Monday, Vice Minister of Justice Hu Weilie said it aligns with the basic norms of international law for countries to protect their sovereignty.

I read this to mean that the law is in place to do what they can to prevent outside agents from intentionally sewing separatist beliefs, as in outside groups (like maybe the CIA) sending people in that try and break up the unity of the larger Republic of China into smaller groups based on racist or ethic differences.

The statement from Beijing explicitly states it allows the minorities to practice their own language, and the 56 officially recognized minorities are considered part of the Chinese culture under this law, and protects those cultures.

China is constantly being battered on all sides by other agents from outside of their borders attempting to convince small areas to succede or separate from the Republic, and this bill is in place to prevent ethnic division on those grounds.

that’s my reading.

It bans acts that “undermine ethnic unity or create ethnic division” among China’s 56 officially recognized ethnicities

Lol. Legal protection for minorities framed as a bad thing.

Call it OOOOOoooooooklahoma!

I believe it. Especially when science is so often funded by private companies with specific agendas.

Def take some time to do a study on technomancy if you’re an anti-tech witch. I definitely incorporate some tech into my craft especially related to research and apps like Labyrinthos that help with learning Tarot and runes.

But also make sure you’re being open minded if another witch tells you their practice is harmed by technology. That’s a very real situation with modern big tech and mindfulness being sometimes completely opposite.

There’s a balance, as always. Find your Temperance.

It’s from the 30s, actually.

Implies waking up to the systemic violence and oppression and beginning to do something about it.

Then it began being used as a bad thing because people were understanding systemic harm and those in power did not like it.

Overuse the word, make it mean nothing, remove its power, push the people back into oppression.
