The TAR Bureau of Compilation and Translation announced on January 12, 2015, that all seven prefecture-level cities in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) have started organizing Tibetan language training for non-native cadres. Qoizha, Deputy Director of the Bureau, said they have handed out 40,000 books on basic Tibetan language for daily conversation.
Earlier, in September 2014 China's President Xi Jinping stressed at a conference on ethnic work that in ethnic regions, ethnic minority cadres should learn Mandarin, and Han cadres should also learn ethnic languages. The language skill should become a "requirement" for cadres.
