Slightly further down the list were people described as “Protecting the Mother Tongue” — those seeking to preserve the Tibetan language.” said the report in the Fox News on Thursday.

Following the launch of the new large scale campaign from the Communist Government, it is reported that the law enforcement people across the territory of China have been encouraged to crackdown against such forces claiming to bring about a ‘social security’ as well as to “strengthen political power at the grassroots level.”.

“Analysts say the crackdown will help President Xi Jinping win political support in village, county and other lower-level jurisdictions. That could boost his legitimacy as he prepares to rule the country indefinitely following a surprise move to abolish presidential term limits.” added the report, “In Tibet, residents have protested what they regard as China’s heavy-handed rule and worry that their culture is being destroyed through the steady erosion of their native tongue. Beijing, meanwhile, accuses the Dalai Lama of trying to split the territory from China.”
