Nearly a million Tibetan children live in state-run residential schools on the Tibetan plateau. Chinese authorities subject these children to a highly politicized curriculum designed to strip them of their mother tongue, sever their ties to their religion and culture, and methodically replace their Tibetan identity with a Chinese one. Children as young as four have been separated from their parents and enrolled in boarding kindergartens under a recruitment strategy based largely on coercion.
This article is written by Tibetan nationalists and should not be treated as factual.
“nearly a million tibetan children live in state-run residential schools” - so like every else in the world where public school is normal?
“highly politized curriculum” = teaches about the society they currently live in
“Strip them of their mother tongue” = teach them Chinese because they live in china
“Replace their tibetan identity with a Chinese one” = assimilate them into the culture of the country they are apart of. This complaint is fair and I’d criticize any country that actively suppresses a native culture but the language used here is quite dramatic and misleading.
“teach them Chinese because they live in china”

Chinese isn’t a language

Oh, let’s just go and force all Indians to speak Hindi, I’m sure the entire south of the country would be okay with giving up their mother tongues for Hindi.
This “one language, one country” thing is deranged white thought

This is in China dude.
Lots of countries have one or more official languages. What’s different is the purpose. Most sane countries define one to facilitate clear communication and transactions. China’s forcing this to extinguish a culture.
Also “deranged white thought” is a pretty racist take when the flag bearing “white guy” countries of the United States and the UK both do not have an official language while most of the rest of the world generally does.
Ok mandarin then. Would you it is not useful to understand the majority language of the country in which you live. That it is not good for the country itself to be more cohesive?

Nice try at re-educating the rest of the world. Now my turn;
China is a shitty haven for cheats and liars, you can verify this by looking at the chinese government and how it operates with disregard for anyone who isn’t chinese.
Google “tofu dreg” and you’ll see examples of this love for dishonesty in building practices all around their lovely country.
Here’s some education for you

Flipping them on their backs is the safest way but it’s very frightening for them and typically non consensual. I find that taking them on a date or two first usually reduces the chances of a lost limb without resorting to sexual assault
