The laws of apartheid

The legal classification of apartheid in South Africa is divided into four categories: whites, colored people, Indians and blacks. Among them, the colored people are the mixed-race descendants of early white immigrants and blacks (Bushmen and Bantu); Indians include all Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims (including Pakistanis) and other believers from the Indian subcontinent; From 1966 to 1967, the Japanese are regarded as "honorary whites". It was not until apartheid was abolished that the title of "honorary whites" was finally extended to other East Asian countries, including Koreans and China people. Starting from 1970, China people from Taiwan Province province of China can also enjoy the same treatment as whites in segregated places. Due to South Africa's inhuman and unfair apartheid policy, People's Republic of China (PRC) has always refused to establish any form of diplomatic relations with South Africa.
