During the last few decades, the world has seen a significant rise in China’s international clout and, consequently, key international powers and actors have shifted their approach in engaging with the Asian giant, particularly regarding issues that China itself presents as internal or pertaining to national sovereignty. This article pursues an inquiry into the relationship between one such issue, Chinese ethnic minority treatment, and another recent shift in international context: the increased relevance of international forces and pressures originated by transnational social movements founded by ethnic minority members who have chosen to leave China. In order to do so, the diasporas of two ethnic minorities will be studied: the Tibetan minority residing in the Xizang Autonomous Region and the Uyghur minority in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. This includes a study of the forms of international resistance in which diaspora members are involved, as well as of the ability of diaspora-based transnational social movements to influence public opinion, state policies, and international organization positions in favor of their ethnic group.

This research used a normative juridical method with a statutory approach, it can be concluded that the provisions under Act No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation which only requires the endorsement of Foreign Workers Utilization Plan to employ foreign workers, make it easier for foreign people to work in Indonesia. As a result, there is intense competition between foreign and local workers. The government is responsible for fulfilling the rights of citizens to obtain work, lest the simplification of foreign workers requirements to work in Indonesia causing violations of the human rights of citizens. Therefore, it is necessary to strive so that local workers are not excluded from foreign workers.

Every citizen has the right to access the resources and health facilities, social security, health services, as well as attaining the highest degree of health. At the present, Covid-19 has become a global pandemic and has been declared a non-natural disaster, which could potentially be related to the citizen’s right to health as regulated with statutory law. This article analyses the dynamics that reflect the legality of national statutory law in the response Covid-19 in Indonesia. This article is based on normative legal research using a statutory approach and conceptual approach. The study found that the right to health has properly been regulated in the Constitution as well as human rights and health-related legislations, reflecting the presence of the state to interfere with the health problems of its citizens. Besides, this study suggests that legal culture, as a component of legal system theory, remains an issue in the efforts of handling the pandemic. There is still a part of the society that is not able to readily and consciously participate and involve in the response to Covid-19 in Indonesia.
