A group of international Tibetan studies scholars launched a petition [1] addressed to China's Xi Jinping, asking the new leader to adjust its language, culture and religion policy in the Tibetan region:

As specialists in the areas of Tibetan language, culture and religion, we would like to share with you, through this letter, our own concerns about the various measures that jeopardize the continuing viability of this civilization, a civilization that is one of the treasures of humanity and for which the Chinese government has clearly stated its responsibility.

80 Tibet scholars have signed the cause. The Chinese version is at Woser's Blog [2] [zh].
