Significantly, Pan Yue, the minister of the National Ethnic Affairs Commission and deputy head of the United Front Work Department, lectured the children about \u201clove of the party and the nation,\u201d as several Chinese state media outlets <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tibet.cn\/cn\/news\/zx\/202306\/t20230606_7428457.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The International Campaign for Tibet is deeply concerned about China\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/savetibet.nl\/follow-the-party-drive-to-indoctrinate-tibetan-children-continues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">continuous<\/a> and systematic indoctrination drive against Tibetan children, which begins at an early age and apparently aims to replace an authentic and self-determined Tibetan culture with Chinese Communist Party ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, independent United Nations experts <a href=\"https:\/\/savetibet.nl\/un-rights-body-calls-for-end-to-boarding-schools-and-relocations-in-tibet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expressed concern<\/a> that Tibetans, among others living under the CCP\u2019s repressive rule, \u201cface severe restrictions in the realization of their right to take part in cultural life, including the right to use and teach minority languages, history and culture.\u201d The experts called, among other things, for an end to forced relocations of Tibetans and the state-run boarding school system in Tibet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cNational unity\u201d\u2014code for Han-centric, CCP-led assimilation program<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s drive to indoctrinate Tibetan children is consistent with CCP policies to \u201cSinicize\u201d Tibetan culture (meaning to bring it under the control of the CCP), and in particular with policies implemented in the so-called Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), which spans about half of Tibet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January 2020, the 11th People\u2019s Congress of the TAR adopted new regulations to establish <a href=\"https:\/\/savetibet.nl\/new-ethnic-unity-regulations-violate-tibetans-human-rights-ict-briefing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cmodel areas for national unity and progress\u201d<\/a> in the Tibet Autonomous Region. The regulations give government powers to enforce a Han-centric way of life and to cultivate patriotic and vigilant citizens as informants for the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regulations are a legal articulation of long-held policy goals to reduce ethnic differences and achieve a stable Han-centric society in China\u2019s strategically vulnerable border regions. The regulations also reflect the culmination of Chinese President Xi Jinping\u2019s policy focus (to consolidate power in the party and eliminate threats) with the second generation of ethnic policy thinkers in China who advocate for the dilution of ethnic difference, thus enforcing assimilation of Tibetan culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August 2021, Xi Jinping declared at the Central Conference on Ethnic Affairs in Beijing that \u201cAll ethnic groups should be guided to always place the interests of the Chinese nation above anything else, with their consciousness of different ethnic groups serving the sense of community for the Chinese nation as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jiangsu Experimental Kindergarten\u2013promoting \u201cnational unity\u201d at early age<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bjreview.com\/Nation\/202009\/t20200908_800220152.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jiangsu Experimental Kindergarten<\/a>, in Tibet\u2019s capital of Lhasa with an overwhelming number of Tibetan students enrolled in it, has been imparting an education aimed at forging the \u201cconsciousness of the Chinese nation community\u201d The kindergarten apparently is part of a larger institution that offers junior and high school education as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kindergarten\u2019s Director Dong Shiwen <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/gxQzB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a> the kindergarten has long regarded strengthening national unity education as the sole project for cultivating the next generation and has taken multiple measures to realize the educational mission of \u201ceducating people for the party and talents for the country.\u201d He attributed the effort to Xi Jinping\u2019s emphasis on national unity and progress education as the basis for strengthening national unity. The school also strives to lead the effort to create a model area of national unity and progress and has established a leading group for the establishment of a model district for ethnic unity and progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The director further stressed that the teaching method at the kindergarten allows the concept of national unity to \u201cpenetrate the blood and soul.\u201d Young Tibetan children are made to sing patriotic songs from the 1990s like \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fEWCFFLslNg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Love my China<\/a>\u201d which says, \u201c56 ethnic groups, 56 flowers, 56 siblings are family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Built in 2014 with funding of 263 million yuan ($38.3 million) by the government of Jiangsu Province, the apparent umbrella institution, the Lhasa Jiangsu Experimental High School, after its inception, hosted 2,472 students and 20 educators from Jiangsu and provides boarding facilities for both junior and senior high school students according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bjreview.com\/Nation\/202009\/t20200908_800220152.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chinese state media<\/a>. 90% of the students are Tibetan, according to a 2016 <a href=\"https:\/\/tchrd.org\/bilingual-education-with-chinese-characteristics-china-replacing-tibetan-textbooks-with-chinese\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a> by the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the school President Ma Hua, Jiangsu province has sent nearly 200 teachers in five batches to the school since its opening in 2014, helping churn out nearly 14,000 graduates, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.news.cn\/20220314\/6cc69f92f1974a6d8a8723fcebccc694\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to a state media report<\/a> from 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Tibetan language skills already disincentivized in the job market, the replacement of Tibetan teachers with state-trained Chinese teachers further diminishes Tibetan children\u2019s ability to learn their mother tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like the Lhasa Jiangsu Experimental High School, the Lhasa Beijing Experimental High School was also built in 2014 with a team of Beijing teachers sent to work in the school. The Ministry of Education followed up with a <a href=\"https:\/\/tchrd.org\/bilingual-education-with-chinese-characteristics-china-replacing-tibetan-textbooks-with-chinese\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">project<\/a> in 2016 to send 800 teachers and principals from middle and primary schools in 17 provincial-level administrative regions every year to work in local schools in teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TAR government in 2020 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bjreview.com\/Nation\/202009\/t20200908_800220152.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> that it has \u201cimproved\u201d more than 900 primary and high schools, and established 1,168 new rural kindergartens since 2016 with the sending of funds and teachers from inland regions by the central Chinese government. This indicates that a multi-layered assimilationist education system in the TAR and across other Tibetan areas has chipped away, one by one, all elements of education that are based on Tibetan culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September 2021, the Chinese Ministry of Education <a href=\"https:\/\/tchrd.org\/china-enforces-compulsory-mandarin-chinese-learning-for-preschool-children-in-tibet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">implemented<\/a> a decree to teach Mandarin Chinese to all preschool children. The \u201cChildren homophony plan for Putonghua Education for Preschool Children\u201d first announced in July 2021 sought to lay a strong foundation for standard Mandarin language and help \u201cfoster a sense of community for the Chinese nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research trip to the \u201cmotherland\u201d on Children\u2019s Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The focus on raising young Tibetan children to be patriotic and develop a sense of the community of the Chinese nation early on is not restricted to experimental schools in Tibet\u2019s capital but spans across the Tibetan plateau in all institutions of education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 30 May to 3 June, 40 Tibetan children from the Yushu Children\u2019s Welfare Center were taken to Beijing on a \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tibet.cn\/cn\/news\/zx\/202306\/t20230606_7428457.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research trip to motherland<\/a>\u201d corresponding with Children\u2019s Day on 1 June in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organised by \u201cChina News Service\u201d in collaboration with the Yushu Prefectural people\u2019s government and \u201cBeijing Aid to Youth Headquarters,\u201d state-affiliated media reported the activity as the first activity of the Sino-Singapore Charity\u2019s \u201cDream Realization Project,\u201d Yu Lan, president of China News Network, described the trip as a journey to \u201cexperience the community of the Chinese nation\u201d and a study tour with the theme of \u201cmotherland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides visits to the Palace Museum, the Great Wall and National Stadium, a host of more tailored activities were organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/savetibet.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/6.28-Img-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12223\"\/><figcaption><em>Tibetan students at a lecture in Beijing.
