Surge in Campaigns Implementing and Publicizing “ Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress”
On the July 5, a meeting was held in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, to study, publicize, and implement the so-called “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress.” During the meeting, the Chinese government heavily publicized and discussed the need to promote the effectiveness of this so-called ethnic unity promotion law in Tibet, how to implement it among the grassroots general public across all Tibetan areas, and how to strictly adhere to practical standards during its publicity and implementation. It was emphasized that by aiming to firmly forge a sense of a shared community for the Chinese nation and maintaining a so-called solid foundation of governance according to the law, they must unite the people’s hearts and pool collective strength.
From the 5 to 7 July, Wang Junzheng, the Party Secretary of the so-called Tibet Autonomous Region, conducted a three-day inspection and investigation tour of Shigatze City, Gyantze County, Panam County, and Samdrubtze (Samzhubze) District in Tibet. During his visit, he emphasized deepening the so-called “sense of the single consciousness of the Chinese nation” and promoting the establishment of the “community of the Chinese nation.” He stressed that young children should be educated by using pictorial comparisons between the conditions of Tibet prior to 1949 and the developments following the Chinese government’s invasion of Tibet. Furthermore, in line with the objectives of the so-called “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Promoting Progress of Ethnic Unity,” he asserted the need to promote interaction, exchange, and integration among various ethnic groups, and insisted that these counties of the so-called Tibet Autonomous Region must study and carry forward the so-called “revolutionary lineage.”
On the 3 July, organized jointly by Qinghai Province, the United Front Work Department, and the ethnic and religious affairs departments, a large-scale campaign was launched in Xining to carry out concentrated propaganda for the so-called “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Promoting Progress of Ethnic Unity” to promote the interaction, exchange, and integration of various ethnic groups. During this legal propaganda campaign, intensive publicity was conducted in various formats across numerous provinces, cities, regions, and departments by introducing the ethnic unity promotion law, explaining its contents, staging on-site performances, and distributing legal documents. Throughout this campaign, government officials, intellectuals, ordinary citizens, and children were compelled to participate, and under the guise of the so-called popularization of law, aggressive promotion and propaganda were carried out.
For a three-month period from the 1st of this month until September 30th, under the organization of the so-called Tibet Autonomous Region Ethnic Affairs Commission and the Tibet Media Group, an activity called the collection, exhibition, and gathering of calligraphy and photographic works under the theme of “I Practice Ethnic Unity” is underway. In the calligraphy competition of this activity, so-called ethnic unity is held as the main theme, while the photographic entries are also required to highlight the so-called aspects of ethnic unity, rural revitalization, improvement of people’s livelihood, as well as the interaction, exchange, and integration among various ethnic groups. Currently, in many regions across Tibet, meetings, activities, and competitions related to the so-called “Law on Promoting Progress of Ethnic Unity” are being held in various forms to actively promote and propagate this policy.
Politcal Education of Communist Ideology Campaign in Full Swing
On the July 3, the second event of the 2026 Lhasa City monastery-based lecture series on the so-called “Three Consciousnesses” propaganda and the introduction of “culture and art” into monasteries was held at Rato Monastery in Nyethang Township of Chushur County. For this event, the municipal Party Propaganda Department, the United Front Work cDepartment, the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Municipal Cyberspace Administration, and the Judicial Bureau—alongside the Chushur County United Front Work Department, Propaganda Unit, Health Bureau, the Rato Monastery Management Committee, the Municipal Calligraphers Association, and over 350 monks and nuns of the monastery—were specifically compelled to participate. During the event, heavy emphasis and discussion were directed toward strengthening the so-called “sense of the community of the Chinese nation,” solidifying the so-called ideology of “loving the country and loving religion, unity and progress,” and aggressively promoting and enforcing the practice of the so-called national common language within monasteries and other institutions.
On the July 1, coinciding with the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government mandated Jamchen Monastery in Rinpung County, Shigatze, to observe the day. Furthermore, it was asserted that the monastery must diligently study the so-called red education, ethnic unity, and religious policy studies. The Monastery Management Committee focused primarily on studying policies regarding the monastery’s ethnic and religious affairs, arranging visits to the so-called education base for ethnic unity and progress. They also pushed for the continuous inheritance of Communist Party building, the promotion of the so-called “Three Consciousnesses” education, and the creation of ethnic unity and progress education. It was stated that religious figures and the believing masses must be led to always remember the Party’s kindness, listen to the Party, and follow its path, while strengthening religious harmony, ethnic unity, and social stability.
