Tibet - plans to make Chinese the main language of instruction

  Cristian Dan Preda (PPE) (asking Reinhard Bütikofer a blue card question in accordance with Rule 149(8)). – (RO) Madam President, I would like to ask our fellow Member a question, if he accepts it. Why, in this context, is the position of the Chinese ambassador on this matter more relevant than our desire to talk about what is happening in Tibet? If I have understood correctly, the reason is that he believes that we must heed what the Chinese Embassy says rather than what our own convictions tell us.
