Tighter policies in schools reflect the ‘narrowed’ tolerance towards Tibet from the Chinese state

A new report by Human Rights Watch argues that the compulsory use of Chinese as the primary language in schools in Tibet raises “serious concerns under international human rights law”.

    They are chinese build schools, ofc china wants it to be their language. The language is dying, because the china schools are free and offer better job chances, so Tibetans choose them over their own schools.

      When someone says China bad they don’t mean USA good. You dumb fuck. You can criticize multiple countries at the same time.

        When the US org says “look over there!” while the group that funds them is putting people into concentration camps, it’s reasonable to assume its a distraction.

          So you also think anything Al-Jazeera reports on Israel is a distraction from Qatars human rights violations?

            You can read more here, and this is going to be the least critical criticism due to it being Wikipedia. HRW doesn’t care about human rights.

      Unless you want to say this isn’t true then what’s the point of the message? I doubt you’d be deflecting like this if we were talking about the erasure of native languages in the US…
