Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I think it's very clear that they will formally make further harmful policies and then ultimately eradicate the Tibetan identity.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  It is very clear from my understanding of the Chinese government what their thinking is. In order to stabilize the Communist Party's position, in order to lead China, they want to move toward it becoming another North Korea. The people were talking about this all the time when I

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thanks very much, again. I came here to fight for the case of Tibet in China now. There are many Tibetans. There are my former students, colleagues and old friends. All of those communities that I visited.... I have to raise the alarm in the international community. My responsib

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  That's accurate.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Can I add something?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  In Xi Jinping's first term, he did not do that much, but as soon as he stabilized his second term, he dramatically increased this high nationalism combined with the domination of the Communist Party, which was increasingly put into the curriculum. That's one example. The other c

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you for the question. Of course we know who is the architect of that program. There's a certain name I've known personally for many years. I can provide his name. Also, there are institutions settled by central China, the Government of China in Lanzhou. They are responsib

Of course, over the years, when I was teaching at my former university, I had a number of such Mongolian and Uighur colleagues. We often experienced an exchange of ideas. In the university during official meetings we pretended that we didn't know eac

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you for your question. This is a key question, I think. As I mentioned in my statement, after three months they feel like they're becoming a guest and a stranger at home. This is how they pull our kids from their roots—by starting from home.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, definitely. This is a clear signal of the cultural genocide, I think.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  The parents have almost no possible way to oppose the policy to send their kids to schools, because they were warned first that if they don't send their kids to boarding preschool, later on they cannot get enrolled for either one, which means that they won't get an education. The

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Of course. They need kids for maintaining the schools.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  There are two options that are very clear. One option is to bring you back to the school. The other way is to put you into another school that is at a further distance so that you'll never be able to run away.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Let me address that in two parts. The colonial boarding schools started in 1979 and have been running until now, but the situation is getting worse. On top of that, under the Xi Jinping regime, they've produced a new policy of having the boarding preschool education system. I

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes. They're ultimately making it a purely Chinese cultural environment for the kids in the schools. For example, they shut down Tibetan objects, Tibetan historical figures and the Tibetan cultural environment in the classroom in 2018. Also, they're asking kids to wear Chinese
