China Pushes 85% of Population Speaking Putonghua by 2025 Even Among Ethnic Minorities

The #PRCgovernment is stepping up efforts to popularize #Putonghua in China, claiming that the use of putonghua remains “unbalanced and inadequate” and needs to be improved to meet the demands of the modern economy.

For the first time, the #PRC government named the two Special Administrative Regions, #HongKong and #Macau, for the new policy.

On November 30, the General Office of the State Council issued a set of new policies on language for #PRC, “Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Comprehensively Strengthening Language and Writing Work in the New Era (關於全面加強新時代語言文字工作的意見)”.

The policy stressed the importance of speaking and using a standardized language, saying that the authorities will “unswervingly" promote the usage among ethnic minorities and in rural areas.

It also set a goal for the national penetration rate of Putonghua to reach 85% by 2025. Along with the 2025 goal, the policy aims to make Putonghua virtually universal by 2035, including in rural areas and among #EthnicMinorities.

The media described the new order as an “aggressive push” to the Chinese regional dialects such as #Cantonese and #Hokkien under even greater pressure, along with #minority languages such as #Tibetan, #Mongolian and #Uyghur.

Critics have protested the changes to the education system and employment requirements that have steadily eroded the role of minority languages. They call it a campaign to eradicate cultures that do not conform with the dominant ethnic group.

What was living in China like during the #CulturalRevolution as a young girl? I caught up to #LilyTang Williams, who grew up during the ten-year Cultural revolution in China.

She now speaks across the country warning the American people about the horror of #Communism.

Hong Kong’s upcoming LegCo “election” is actually a selection, and does not reflect the voices of #Hongkongers.
Join #ReleaseMyCandidate campaign initiated by Hong Kong Watch and Ray Wong to call for release of Hong Kong pro-democracy legislators!

The #HKGov arrested all the candidates that can actually represent #HongKongers. The up coming LegCo election is really a process for #CCP to choose their puppet.

"I was a protest leader. And then I was a legislator. And then I was an inmate. And for now, I'm an exiled activist."

In this episode, we sit down with #HongKong pro-democracy activist #NathanLaw, author of “Freedom: How We Lose It and How We Fight Back.”

“The world had been really complacent towards the rise of #China. We've opened up ourselves to them…but we have not developed any mechanism to hold them accountable. It’s just like we’re inviting a wolf into the house.”

The summit of democracy held by US was surprisingly disappointing. Taiwan representative was being censored when showing a map indicating itself as "open" referring to its openness to civil rights. Many people around the world have questioned the Biden administration for their commitment to defend #HumanRights from #CCPChina. Now, people may be more confused than ever.

#Nike has found funneling democrats Senate, Wyden, who blocked the #Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act. Nike, a company which has been accused of using child labor before, is now using slavery & protecting the system to ensure the company can make billions of dollars out of it. You might think this could only happen 200 years ago, but it's happening today.
