A woman sweeps outside a kindergarten school displaying a banner which reads: "Please speak Mandarin when you enter the school" at a village in Ganluo county, southwest China's Sichuan province on Sept. 10, 2020. China's ruling Communist Party says such initiatives have helped to lift millions of people out of poverty. But they can require drastic changes, sometimes uprooting whole communities. They fuel complaints the party is trying to erase cultures as it prods minorities to embrace the language and lifestyle of the Han, who make up more than 90% of China's population.
