Lei de 'unidade étnica' que pressiona minorias entra em vigor na China; entenda

Sob Xi Jinping, os planos quinquenais da China têm como foco o "desenvolvimento de alta qualidade" Grigory Sysoev/RIA Novosti/Pool/Anadolu via Getty Images/BBC Uma nova lei de "unidade étnica" entrou em vigor na China nesta quarta-feira (1), apesar das críticas internacionais pela preocupação de que a legislação promoverá a "assimilação forçada" das minorias no país asiático. A Lei de Promoção da Unidade e do Progresso Étnico busca forjar uma identidade nacional "compartilhada" e formaliza políticas para promover o mandarim como o "idioma nacional comum". ✅ Siga o canal de notícias internacionais do g1 no WhatsApp Nova lei da unidade étnica pressiona ainda mais minorias na China O texto tipifica como crime a participação em "atividades terroristas violentas, atividades de separatismo étnico ou atividades de extremismo religioso". A organização Anistia Internacional afirmou que a legislação "pressiona grupos étnicos como os uigures, tibetanos e mongóis a adotarem uma única identidade nacional definida pelo Estado e dominada pela cultura chinesa (da etnia majoritária) han". Agora no g1 A lei exige "alinhamento político e ideológico com o Partido Comunista Chinês" e "institucionaliza ainda mais as políticas de assimilação forçada" de grupos minoritários, afirmou na terça-feira a vice-diretora regional da Anistia, Sarah Brooks. O governo de Xi Jinping tem um histórico de abusos de direitos humanos de minorias étnicas, e especialistas e órgãos internacionais temem que essa situação se agrave com a nova lei. Entenda aqui as possíveis implicações. A China reconhece oficialmente 55 minorias étnicas em seu território, mas o governo estabeleceu o mandarim como língua oficial de ensino em regiões com grande população de etnias minoritárias, como o Tibete. O alto comissário de Direitos Humanos da ONU, Volker Türk, pediu a revogação da lei, enquanto representantes tibetanos e uigures declararam na semana passada que a legislação criminaliza sua identidade cultural, religiosa e linguística. O Ministério das Relações Exteriores de Taiwan expressou nesta quarta-feira sua "forte condenação" à lei, que, em sua avaliação, amplia as "ameaças e a intimidação contra o povo do nosso país e de outras nações". "No futuro, indivíduos de qualquer país cujas palavras ou ações sejam consideradas inaceitáveis pela China poderão ser perseguidos com base na lei", acrescentou o ministério taiwanês. A China considera Taiwan parte de seu território e não descarta o uso da força para tomar a ilha, governada de maneira democrática.

On the eve of their last-32 game with Austria, Spain’s unassuming midfielder explains their team spirit and about finding his rhythm after injury

At the Embassy Suites on Broad Street, downtown Chattanooga, the vans have pulled out for the last time. The day before departure, like every day, a small crowd of kids had climbed barriers and trees, trying to get a glimpse of Spain’s players.

A girl stood on a ladder and held a placard in each hand, raised above the fence. One said: “I’ve been here three weeks. I know you’ve seen me!” The other ran: “Please come out!” On Wednesday afternoon, Tennessee time, they did. They won’t be back.

Minister and MPs have raised concerns that his ‘poisoned chalice’ plan will take cash from much-needed road projects

• Minister and MP ‘furious’ over cuts to road projects to fund defence plan

Dan Sabbagh is the Guardian’s defence and security editor.

Andy Burnham is a “true patriot” who will provide the money needed to maintain Britain’s security when he becomes prime minister, the new defence secretary, Dan Jarvis, said on a visit to a factory in Cambridge today.

I’ve known Andy Burnham for more than 15 years, he is a true patriot, and I absolutely believe that he will make sure that we have the resources that we need to field the kind of capabilities that are required given the nature of the world that we’re operating in.

I know what we need to do to keep Britain safe, and I’m absolutely confident that Andy Burnham, as the next prime minister, knows that as well, and we’ll make sure in the context of the next spending review that we’ve got the resources we need to keep the country safe.
