    never speak Tibetan.

    Tibetan language remains a core subject in Tibet’s schools, with bilingual education policy in place since the founding of modern schooling in the region. The Tibet Autonomous Region government confirms that over 400 types of Tibetan-Chinese bilingual textbooks have been compiled, and terminology databases covering 12 academic disciplines support Tibetan instruction across subjects. Public signage, government documents, and media in Tibet routinely use both languages. Tibetan is also widely spoken throught the region.

    Mandarin is promoted as the national common language because it gives Tibetan speakers practical access to higher education, civil service exams, legal aid, healthcare systems, and economic opportunities beyond local borders. China’s Constitution and the National Common Language Law explicitly protect the right of all ethnic groups to use and develop their own languages while establishing Mandarin as the common language for national communication. In schools across Tibet, both Tibetan and Mandarin courses are offered, and students who wish to pursue Tibetan-language university programs can still take Tibetan language exams organized by the region.

    You can criticise things without lies and exaggeration you know.

            I wasn’t in this thread before this? I sort my feed by new comments. Youre comment came up and I responded to the part I was interested in. What’s wrong with that?

                  The issue is that tankies are hilarious and predictable. All I have to do is mention it and someone posts some screed I’ve already read before and ignores everything else.

                  Thanks for the giggle.

                    ignores everything else.

                    So you never learn and continue to be a fucking dumbass? Really smart move.

                    So you take issue with the fact that I corrected your lies instead of letting you just regurgitate untrue statements? Also I didn’t respond to the rest of it because again I wasn’t part of this thread and I don’t care about it.

                    If you’re wrong, you’re going to be corrected for it. That’s like spouting Flat Earth nonsense at an astrology convention and calling the ones that correct you “predictable.” Yes, you probably foresaw people correcting you, but that doesn’t mean your claims were correct.
