I agree, but that's the territory we're in right now. This is a problem that is solved internally and there's no reason for people who aren't there to even think about it. No one's threatening sanctions against the US for ESL programs and most of the people criticizing China for "cultural genocide" would defend ESL in the same breath (I've seen some even defend the Native American schools).
What's even better is that the language learning programs in China aren't madatory anymore, just highly promoted.
Making them mandatory isn't genocide, but it's certainly assinilationism and something that the American left had been criticizing for a long time.
