Ah finally news about other genocides to bring eyeballs on them too, especially one that has gone on for 70 odd years.

    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...

    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.
