Han Population and Language Restriction Destroy Minorities

"Now, intentionally, since the arrival of Chen Kuiyan as the Party Secretary in Tibet, I was informed that the classical Tibetan texts in Universities have been replaced by Chinese texts. In one of the Party meetings, the Communist Secretary has openly said that to clear the main obstruction to the unity of the motherland is eradication of Tibetan language.

These are intentional destruction of a living culture and the public and students are demonstrating against this is ruthless policy of Chinese government. Mao Tsetung spoke against Chinese chauvinism and narrow nationalism, but these have come back to destroy the culture and languages of the minorities."
