China’s Paranoia on Display: Chinese Veterans Stationed in Colonial Boarding Schools to Intimidate and Indoctrinate Tibetan Children

China is implementing a system in which army veterans serve as “on-campus instructors” in Tibetan schools, aiming to instill patriotism and loyalty to the Chinese government in children as young as six. State-run media and sources within Tibet report that these instructors provide military-style training, including marching in fatigues, participating in air raid drills, and undergoing strict bed inspections. The initiative appears to be part of a broader strategy to assimilate Tibetan children into a Chinese identity by reshaping their cultural and political values.
