Chinese authorities have forcibly detained four Tibetan students, aged 15 to 18, for refusing to attend a state-run boarding school following the closure of the Buddhist primary school at Taktsang Lhamo Kirti Monastery in Dzoge County, according to a report by Radio Free Asia. The students have been subjected to “political education” as part of the government’s efforts to enforce attendance at state-run institutions.
The Taktsang Lhamo Kirti Monastery School was shut down on October 1, coinciding with China’s National Day celebrations. On October 2, authorities forced more than 200 students, aged 15 to 18, to attend state-run schools in Dzoge County as part of China’s compulsory education policy, marking the complete closure of the monastery school. Starting in July, over 300 younger students, aged 6 to 14, had already been forcibly transferred to various state-run schools in the county.

The forcibly enrolled young monks are being educated primarily through Chinese textbooks. However, they are also receiving separate political education sessions focused on Chinese politics and ‘Xi Jinping’s Thought,’ according to an anonymous source inside Tibet.

It really helps of you read before posting. And don’t forget to suggest sources you think are reliable.
There are no other sources. There are precisely zero western journalists in Tibet, the story isn’t covered in Chinese media, Hong Kong media, even Taiwan’s media.
Further more, even if I did find a source that said something other than the US approved narrative you would instantly decry at as propaganda. To people like you the only angle that matters is the one that confirms your bias.
Which sources are reliable for China news in general?
None, at least none that you would find acceptable. I’m sure you already know the big names in English language media from China. You should look at them from time to time anyway, just to get a non-western perspective, but I doubt you will. Best thing of course is to go there and see for yourself, but you wont.
