ETHNIC MINORITY RIGHTS
Findings
• During the Commission’s 2022 reporting year, People’s Re- public of China (PRC) authorities implemented policies that limited the freedom of ethnic minority groups to express their cultural and religious identities, in contravention of the PRC Regional Ethnic Autonomy Law and international law such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
• During this reporting year, PRC officials introduced lan- guage and education policies that prioritized the acquisition of Mandarin Chinese and the reduction of ethnic minority lan- guage instruction. Australian scholar James Leibold said, ‘‘[T]he education system is now the front lines in President Xi Jinping’s assault on ethnic minority cultures in China.’’
• Authorities implemented programs and activities in Hui reli- gious communities this past year which were aimed at ‘‘sinicizing’’ Islamic practices, a trend observers say limits Hui Muslims’ ability to practice their religion and culture.
• Following protests in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Re- gion in fall 2020 over a new policy to reduce Mongolian lan- guage instruction in schools, authorities worked to eliminate dissent among Mongol parents, students, teachers, and others in the region. Officials launched mass ‘‘rectification’’ and ‘‘re- education’’ campaigns, including through ‘‘patriotism courses,’’ to shore up support throughout all segments of Mongol society for the PRC’s sinicization policies.
