China's official media has vehemently criticized the European Parliament's coverage of its December 14 resolution on the "abduction of Tibetan children and forced assimilation practices through Chinese boarding schools in Tibet." The editorial from chinadaily.com.cn accuses the resolution of spreading false information, smearing China's image, and interfering in its internal affairs.

The piece contends that the resolution uses the "boarding school" issue as an excuse to discredit the Chinese government. It argues against the international community's reliance on fabricated information and emphasizes the popularity of the boarding school system in Tibet, attributing it to easing the burden on parents. Critics, however, claim that parents are coerced into sending children to Sinicize them, denying them education in their own language and culture.
