March 10 is #Tibetan Uprising Day! In support of our Tibetan friends, we'd like to draw your attention to #CCP's oppressive language policies are not unfamiliar to #HongKong at all, and it's happening in more places than you thought! #Chinese government's bilingual policy in #Tibet does not come from an educational imperative but a political one, wanting to uproot Tibetan culture. Erasure of language is a dangerous sign of genocide.

Maintaining and solidifying a #HongKong identity wouldn’t be an easy task overseas (and even locally tbh, with #CCP wanting so badly to kill it). Language is an important apparatus of #identity, and #HKers creativity and will to pull their weight is another!

Language is the way a nation, an imagined community physically manifests its bond. #CCP wants to break this bond between #HongKongers, #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, #Mongolians through cleansing our language, we must fight back.
