Turning masses against the masses is an oft-used tactic by #ccp to make sure it remains on top of everyone. So don’t think persecution of ethnic minorities will stop, or in fact, the persecution of any random groups.

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.

China Pushes 85% of Population Speaking Putonghua by 2025 Even Among Ethnic Minorities

The #PRCgovernment is stepping up efforts to popularize #Putonghua in China, claiming that the use of putonghua remains “unbalanced and inadequate” and needs to be improved to meet the demands of the modern economy.

For the first time, the #PRC government named the two Special Administrative Regions, #HongKong and #Macau, for the new policy.

On November 30, the General Office of the State Council issued a set of new policies on language for #PRC, “Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Comprehensively Strengthening Language and Writing Work in the New Era (關於全面加強新時代語言文字工作的意見)”.

The policy stressed the importance of speaking and using a standardized language, saying that the authorities will “unswervingly" promote the usage among ethnic minorities and in rural areas.

It also set a goal for the national penetration rate of Putonghua to reach 85% by 2025. Along with the 2025 goal, the policy aims to make Putonghua virtually universal by 2035, including in rural areas and among #EthnicMinorities.

The media described the new order as an “aggressive push” to the Chinese regional dialects such as #Cantonese and #Hokkien under even greater pressure, along with #minority languages such as #Tibetan, #Mongolian and #Uyghur.

Critics have protested the changes to the education system and employment requirements that have steadily eroded the role of minority languages. They call it a campaign to eradicate cultures that do not conform with the dominant ethnic group.

As we watch the horrors unfold… we always knew that axing the local language is part of #CCP’s plan to kill HK identity. // #Cantonese #hongkong #China #mandarin #language
