Advocacy organization Tibet Action Institute (TAI) has strongly condemned the passage of China’s new “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress,” warning that the legislation formalizes policies that could accelerate the erasure of Tibetan identity, language, and culture.

China’s legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC), approved the law during the closing session of its annual parliamentary meeting in Beijing on Thursday. The law, which codifies Beijing’s approach to ethnic governance under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026.
