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”.

    Honestly, France has been doing this for 2 centuries now. Is it bad because China is doing it?

        I’ve never seen an article about France on this matter. Is it more important if it’s in China ? That is the link you refuse to see I guess.

      Tibet was it’s own country until China communists conquered it in 1951.

      Weird how nobody ever talks about that…

      in the 50s France was dumping it’s colonies.

      So its OK then that France did that? You can’t excuse one instance of imperialism and complain about another. All Imperialism is bad, regardless of who is doing it to whom.

        I’m not excusing anything. I’m just looking at targeted blame. China is the most terrible country for everything it does. Just don’t look anywhere else, especially not the allies of the west.
