The law, which official sources confirm is taking an even harder grip on the country's minorities, has raised significant concerns among analysts. Experts warn that the law could, among other things, lead to minority languages being eradicated, though the specific provisions of the legislation and which minority groups are most affected remain unclear. The official justification from Chinese authorities for implementing this law has not been detailed publicly.
Additionally, the evidence or data that experts cite to support the warning about language eradication has not been disclosed, and reactions from minority communities in China to this new law are unknown.
