(The policy is mainly for Han Chinese) Please also don't forget the public facilities China build for Tibet, including schools, roads, railways and airports.
If a Tibetan high school graduate wants to go to universities, any university in China, the admission line (based on scores achieved in the nationwide College Entrance Examinations) is set lower for him/her, much lower than Chinese students from other provinces. This is also the case for other minority groups.
The provinces that produce the most and best high school graduates often set very high college admission lines for their own provintial residents. This is to ensure equal opportunities of higher education throughout the country. |
Damn. Why do I see so many "Free Tibet" bumper stickers around here then? Perhaps we Americans have been brainwashed into believing that China suppresses the Tibetians?
