flag A 2025 Chengdu symposium on Tibet’s boarding schools sparks global backlash over claims of cultural suppression and forced assimilation.

flag A 2025 Chengdu symposium on Tibet’s boarding education system has drawn international criticism, with human rights groups and UN experts accusing China of promoting cultural assimilation. flag While Chinese officials and academics portrayed the schools as equitable, high-quality, and respectful of Tibetan traditions, reports from the Tibet Action Institute and other sources allege forced separations of children as young as four, suppression of the Tibetan language, and nationalist indoctrination. flag The event, hosted by a Chinese university and attended by international scholars, was seen by critics as a public relations effort to justify policies they describe as eroding Tibetan identity under the guise of development.
