How much we can see
Limited reporting
Reporting is thin here. Real levels could be much higher than the numbers below.
Who gets targeted here
Islamophobia (anti-Muslim bias)
The state has enacted a systematic campaign of mass internment, forced labor, and cultural erasure against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang.
Where this comes from
- UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (2022)"Assessment of human rights concerns in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region."
Class and caste bias
The Hukou (household registration) system legally segregates rural and urban populations. Internal rural migrants face structural discrimination, denying their children equal access to education and healthcare in cities.
Where this comes from
- China Labour Bulletin (2023)
Bias against women and girls
The state actively suppresses the feminist movement, arresting activists and censoring discussions of sexual harassment (#MeToo). Unmarried women over 27 are socially and politically stigmatized as 'Sheng Nu' (leftover women).
Where this comes from
- Amnesty International (2022)
Ageism and generational conflict
Youth disillusionment with the intense '996' working culture has led to passive resistance movements like 'Tang Ping' (Lying Flat) and 'Bai Lan' (Let it Rot), which the state attempts to censor as ideological threats.
Where this comes from
- Brookings Institution (2023)
Ableism (anti-disability bias)
Despite official rhetoric, disabled individuals in China face severe physical accessibility barriers, educational exclusion, and high rates of employment discrimination.
Where this comes from
- Human Rights Watch (2021)
