You are changing your question. First it was if you can live there without speaking the language. And that's easy. And we're talking about minorities in China, in some areas you'd be surrounded by a community who speak the same language as you so integration into that area isn't a problem at all.

I mean right wingers push for mandatory language classes (and talk about ethnic unity). This is getting eery. And this is going further in that that it is forcing it as the primary language...
