The law states that children should be taught Mandarin before kindergarten, until the end of high school.

China has approved a sweeping new law which claims to help promote “ethnic unity” - but critics say it will further erode the rights of minority groups.

On paper, it aims to promote integration among the 56 officially recognised ethnic groups, dominated by the Han Chinese, through education and housing. But critics say it cuts people off from their language and culture.

It mandates that all children should be taught Mandarin before kindergarten and up until the end of high school. Previously students could study most of the curriculum in their native language such as Tibetan, Uyghur or Mongolian.

    Didn’t think I’d have to spell out what the schools did to those poor children

    That is precisely why I referred to it that way, so you’d have to spell it out the dumb implication you’re making.

    How do you think they’re going to make these people learn Mandarin?

    Same way they teach math and science lmao.
