    Consider: in the US and Canada, the European colonizers established residential schools where they housed indigenous children. Those children were beaten for using their native languages. They were beaten for behaving “uncivilized”. Laws were created and enforced in border towns to criminalize being indigenous.

    In China, Tibetans govern the day to day operations of Tibet. Children are educated in their native language. Official business is conducted in their native language. Tibetan holidays are observed. Tibetan traditions are observed.

    So, yes, most of us who knows anything about China expect Tibetans to be respected by the party as they have demonstrated for decades.
