China's Cultural Imperialism
This from Stephen Heins:
To critics, the policy bears a chilling resemblance to measures rolled out in the regions of Tibet and Xinjiang, where Mandarin has replaced ethnic minority languages as the instruction language in most schools. It also reflects a shift in the Party's policy towards more aggressive assimilation under President Xi Jinping, as evident in the harsh crackdown on the mostly Muslim Uyghur minority in Xinjiang.
How China's New Language Policy Sparked Rare Backlash in Inner Mongolia
A NOTE FROM TIM:
China now has the largest navy in the world. The Chinese are determined to not only establish themselves as the top military power on Earth and now have the tools to enforce their will but also want Asia to be their cultural vassal. They have been filtering illegal aliens into Siberia for decades now, and whole towns exist there that have no allegiance to Moscow. The Chinese will wipe out the independent culture of Tibet, as well as any other that stands in the way of their cultural hegemony in Asia.

From the CNN article:
Under the new policy,
Mandarin Chinese will replace Mongolian as the medium of instruction
for three subjects in elementary and middle schools for minority groups
across the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, home to 4.2 million ethnic
Mongolians.
Authorities have defendedthe adoption of a national standardized curriculum -- which comes with
Chinese textbooks compiled and approved by policymakers in Beijing --
will improve minority students' paths to higher education and
employment.
But parents fear the
move will lead to a gradual demise of the Mongolian language, spelling
an end for the already waning Mongolian culture.
