China has a new law about ethnic groups. It starts on July 1, 2026. Many people and groups do not like this law.

中國出台了一部關於少數民族的新法律，將於2026年7月1日開始生效。許多人士與團體並不認同這項法律。

China says the law helps people stay together. But the Tibetan government says the law is bad. They say China wants to take away Tibetan and Uyghur culture. China wants these people to speak only Mandarin and forget their own language.

中國表示該法律有助於維持團結。但西藏政府認為這項法律非常糟糕。他們表示中國企圖抹除西藏與維吾爾文化，希望這些人僅說普通話並忘記自己的語言。

Some experts spoke at a United Nations meeting. They say China uses special schools to change children. They say China also changes the names of places. These experts believe China wants to hide the history of these people.

部分專家在聯合國會議上發言。他們指出中國利用特殊學校來改變兒童，並更改地名。這些專家認為中國企圖掩蓋這些民族的歷史。

The Tibetan government is now asking other countries for help. They write letters to leaders and governments. They want the world to know about this law. They want China to stop the law.

西藏政府目前正請求其他國家的幫助。他們向各國領袖及政府寫信，希望國際社會了解這項法律，並要求中國停止執行該法。

China says the law is for unity. The Tibetan government says the law destroys their culture.

中國表示該法律是為了團結，而西藏政府則認為該法律是在摧毀他們的文化。

The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) and several international human rights groups have expressed their opposition to China's new law regarding ethnic unity, which is set to begin on July 1, 2026.

藏人行政中央（CTA）與數個國際人權組織對中國關於民族團結的新法律表示反對，該法將於2026年7月1日正式生效。

The Chinese government describes the 'Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress Law' as a tool to improve national unity and social stability. However, the CTA and legal experts argue that the law is actually designed to force ethnic minorities, such as Tibetans and Uyghurs, to adopt the dominant culture. Sikyong Penpa Tsering emphasized that the law encourages the loss of unique languages and religions by making Mandarin compulsory. Consequently, he believes these measures threaten the very existence of Tibetan identity.

中國政府將《促進民族團結進步法》描述為提升國家團結與社會穩定的工具。然而，CTA與法律專家認為，該法實際上是為了強迫西藏人與維吾爾人等少數民族接納主流文化。司康彭巴次林強調，該法透過強制實行普通話，鼓勵人們放棄獨特的語言與宗教。因此，他認為這些措施威脅到西藏身份的生存。

Furthermore, during a side event at the 62nd Session of the UN Human Rights Council, experts discussed how this law might allow China to repress its citizens even outside its own borders. Panelists from various human rights organizations pointed out that the use of boarding schools and the changing of traditional place names are strategies to disconnect young people from their heritage. While a Chinese representative claimed the law ensures equal rights, critics pointed to the destruction of religious sites as evidence that the reality is quite different.

此外，在聯合國人權理事會第62屆會議的一場邊會上，專家討論了該法可能會讓中國在國境之外也能壓制其公民。來自不同人權組織的與談者指出，利用寄宿學校與更改傳統地名是一種策略，目的在於使年輕一代與自己的文化遺產脫節。雖然中國代表聲稱該法確保了權利平等，但批評者指出宗教場所被摧毀即是證據，顯示現實情況截然不同。

In response, the CTA has started a global diplomatic campaign to raise international awareness. They are sending official letters to foreign governments and non-governmental organizations. Although they are still deciding on a long-term policy, their immediate goal is to organize global Tibetan communities and ask international leaders to pressure China to cancel the legislation.

作為回應，CTA已展開一場全球外交行動以提高國際關注度。他們正向外國政府與非政府組織發出正式信函。雖然他們仍在決定長期政策，但目前的即時目標是組織全球西藏社群，並要求國際領袖向中國施壓，要求取消該立法。

The situation shows a deep disagreement between Beijing's claim of national unity and the CTA's accusations of state-sponsored cultural destruction.

這情況顯示出北京聲稱的國家團結，與CTA指控的國家支持文化毀滅之間，存在著深層的分歧。

The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) and various international human rights entities have expressed opposition to China's new legislation regarding ethnic unity, which is slated for implementation on July 1, 2026.

藏人行政中央（CTA）及 various 國際人權實體，對於中國預計於 2026 年 7 月 1 日實施的民族團結新法表示反對。

The legislative framework in question, designated as the 'Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress Law,' is characterized by the Chinese government as a mechanism for enhancing national cohesion and social stability. Conversely, the CTA and associated legal experts posit that the law serves as a formal instrument for the systematic assimilation of ethnic minorities, specifically targeting Tibetans, Uyghurs, and East Turkistanis. Sikyong Penpa Tsering has asserted that the legislation facilitates the erosion of distinct linguistic, cultural, and religious identities through the mandatory imposition of Mandarin. He further contends that the comprehensive nature of these measures constitutes a threat to the continued existence of Tibetan identity.

該立法框架被定名為《促進民族團結進步法》，被中國政府描述為增強國家凝聚力與社會穩定的一種機制。相反地，CTA 及相關法律專家認為，該法是一項系統性同化少數民族的正式工具，特別是針對西藏人、維吾爾人與東突厥斯坦人。西藏領袖彭巴次林（Sikyong Penpa Tsering）主張，該立法透過強制推行普通話，加速了獨特語言、文化與宗教認同的侵蝕。他進一步認為，這些措施的全面性對西藏認同的持續存在構成了威脅。

Parallel to these assertions, a side event during the 62nd Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) provided a forum for the analysis of the law's implications. Representatives from the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, the World Uyghur Congress, and the International Campaign for Tibet argued that the legislation may extend transnational repression beyond sovereign Chinese borders. Panelists highlighted the utilization of boarding schools and the modification of traditional toponyms as strategic components of a broader effort to decouple future generations from their cultural heritage. While a Chinese representative maintained that the law provides a constitutional basis for equal rights, critics cited ongoing arbitrary detentions and the destruction of religious sites as evidence of a contradictory reality.

與此同時，在聯合國人權理事會（UNHRC）第 62 屆會議期間舉行的一場邊會，為分析該法的影響提供了論壇。來自赫爾辛基人權基金會、世界維吾爾代表會議及國際西藏運動的代表認為，該立法可能會將跨國壓制延伸至中國主權邊界之外。與會者強調，利用寄宿學校及修改傳統地名，是將後代與其文化遺產脫鉤之更廣泛努力的策略組成部分。儘管中國代表維持該法為平等權利提供了憲法基礎，但批評者引用持續發生的任意拘留與宗教場所被毀，作為現實矛盾的證據。

In response to these developments, the CTA has initiated a global diplomatic campaign. This strategy involves the dissemination of official correspondence to foreign ministries, parliamentarians, and non-governmental organizations to catalyze international awareness. The CTA has indicated that while a formal counter-policy requires further deliberation regarding its long-term implications, the immediate objective is the mobilization of global Tibetan communities and the solicitation of formal statements from international leaders to pressure the Chinese administration toward the repeal of the legislation.

針對這些發展，CTA 已啟動一場全球外交運動。此策略包括向各國外交部、國會議員及非政府組織發送正式信函，以催化國際意識。CTA 指出，雖然制定正式的反制政策需進一步商討其長期影響，但目前的即時目標是動員全球西藏社群，並請求國際領袖發表正式聲明，以向中國政府施壓要求廢除該立法。

The situation remains characterized by a fundamental divergence between Beijing's narrative of national unity and the CTA's allegations of state-sponsored cultural erasure.

目前的局勢依然呈現出北京關於國家團結的敘事，與 CTA 關於國家贊助文化抹殺之指控之間的根本分歧。
