China has ignored Germany’s questions regarding the boarding school system in Tibet at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. The representatives of the People’s Republic did not answer the question on the percentage of Tibetan children in boarding schools, nor did they explain the consequences for families who refuse to enroll their children. Instead, China’s ambassador in Geneva, Chen Xu, described the accusations of a systematic eradication of Tibetan culture as fabricated and ideologically motivated.
