China is forcing Tibetan farmers and herders into labour programs similar to those used in the western Xinjiang region.
They say this is in line with President Xi Jinping's goal of eradicating extreme poverty by the end of 2020.

"In the context of Beijing’s increasingly assimilatory ethnic minority policy, it is likely that these policies will promote a long-term loss of linguistic, cultural and spiritual heritage," wrote the report's author Adrian Zenz, a researcher at the US-based Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.Nearly 50,000 people have been transferred to other areas of Tibet, and more than 3,000 sent to other parts of China, the report said.
