Dharamshala (Himachal Pradesh) [India], March 28 (ANI): The Chinese government has extended its restrictions on the Tibetan language on various online platforms and video streaming services, said a media report.
In its report, Phayul said that due to these restrictions sources fear another push for further assimilation of Bejing’s so-called ethnic minorities into the dominant Han Chinese culture.
According to Radio Free Asia’s (RFA) sources, the Chinese government’s directives, “China-based language learning app Talkmate and video streaming service Bilibili have now removed the Tibetan and Uyghur languages from their sites,” Phayul reported.
It further reported that the Chinese government order on December 20 last year, the report said, announced that foreign organizations and individuals, beginning from March 1, can no longer spread “religious content” online in China or Tibet until the groups obtain a special license to do so.
The regulation ‘Measures on the Administration of Internet Religious Information Service’ went into effect on March 1.
