These are the people who pretend to be super concerned about the Tibetan language while ignoring that Tibet enjoys being an Autonomous Republic within China (with all the added political power), that Tibetan is the official language in the Tibetan Autonomous Republic, and that the number of Tibetan speakers has skyrocketed from about 1mn in the 1950s to about 6mn nowadays.
