They have built a machine that pulls out their mother tongue': why Tibet's children think they are Chinese
"Children are now taught to identify with the Chinese Communist party, idolise the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and identify themselves as part of the Chinese nation, says Maya Wang, from HRW."
A new report by Human Rights Watch indicates that Chinese authorities are forcibly assimilating Tibetans, starting with children. This includes teaching them to identify with the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army, and identifying as part of the Chinese nation. Children are also being taught to speak Mandarin instead of Tibetan, leading to language loss and cultural severance among Tibetans in China.
