纽约法拉盛海外民运集会，谴责《促进民族团结进步法》Overseas Chinese democracy groups rally in Flushing, New York, condemning the Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress

据藏人行政中央官网报道，论坛10月6日在纽约法拉盛举行，适逢中华民国“双十”国庆115周年。主办方为《北京之春》杂志、中国民主团结联盟、中国民主党全委会执行委员会；《北京之春》发行人俞大海主持，荣誉主编胡平作主旨发言，20多名学者与民运人士分五个 panel 发言，知名发言者包括时评人陈破空、律师高光俊、西藏—中国友好小组主席薛伟、民联主席陈立群等。[1]

胡平在主旨发言中说，该法虽未点名达赖喇嘛与藏传佛教，但其实质是剥夺藏人的核心权利；他还提到一封由中共“太子党”群体致习近平的信，谴责当局对少数民族的强硬政策。陈立群向受该法直接影响的社群致歉，并谴责中共对藏人及其他少数民族的“残酷政策”。[1]

多名发言者指出，该法虽以“促进团结”为包装，实则强化官方“民族身份”“国家统一”的强制叙事，严重限制少数民族的宗教、文化与政治活动；非汉族群表达诉求，有被贴上“分裂分子”或“恐怖分子”标签的风险。藏人行政中央驻华盛顿华人联络官 Tsultrim Gyatso 说，该法“名称与实质恰恰相反”：它剥夺少数民族的宪法权利，把以“铸牢中华民族共同体意识”为口号的汉人中心同化政策法典化；其第63条的域外条款可能被用来对付海外藏人及其支持者。[1]

Tsultrim Gyatso 还提到，超过100万藏族儿童现被置于国家寄宿学校、其中许多人正在系统性丧失母语；并援引7月2日洛嘎让曾（Lobga Rangzen）在联合国总部外自焚事件（此前约170起），称其让危机重新获得全球关注。论坛最后一致通过谴责声明，要求中共废除该法；北美中文大报《世界日报》随后报道了该活动。[1]

According to the Central Tibetan Administration's website, the forum was held on October 6 in Flushing, New York, coinciding with the 115th anniversary of the Republic of China's 'Double Ten' National Day. It was organised by Beijing Spring magazine, the Chinese Alliance for Democracy and the executive committee of the China Democracy Party; Beijing Spring publisher Yu Dahai hosted, honorary editor-in-chief Hu Ping delivered the keynote, and more than 20 scholars and activists spoke across five panels, including commentator Chen Pokong, lawyer Gao Guangjun, Tibet-China Friendship Group president Xue Wei and alliance president Chen Liqun. [1]

In his keynote, Hu Ping said that although the law does not name the Dalai Lama or Tibetan Buddhism, its substance strips Tibetans of core rights; he also mentioned a letter from a group of CCP 'princelings' to Xi Jinping condemning the regime's harsh policies toward ethnic minorities. Chen Liqun apologised to the communities directly affected by the law and denounced the CCP's 'ruthless policies' against Tibetans and other ethnic groups. [1]

Several speakers argued that despite its 'promoting unity' packaging, the law reinforces the official coercive narrative of 'ethnic identity' and 'national unification,' severely restricting the religious, cultural and political activities of minority groups, and that non-Han individuals risk being labelled separatists or terrorists for voicing grievances. Tsultrim Gyatso, the CTA's Chinese liaison officer in Washington, said the law achieves 'the exact opposite of its stated name': it strips ethnic minorities of constitutional rights and codifies a Han-centred assimilation policy under the slogan of 'forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation,' while its Article 63 extraterritorial clause could be weaponised against Tibetans abroad and their supporters. [1]

Tsultrim Gyatso also noted that more than one million Tibetan children are now placed in state boarding schools, many systematically losing their mother tongue, and cited the July 2 self-immolation of Lobga Rangzen outside the United Nations — following approximately 170 previous cases — as an act that drew renewed global attention to the crisis. The forum concluded with a unified condemnation demanding the CCP repeal the law; the World Journal, a major North American Chinese-language newspaper, subsequently reported on the event. [1]
