Hotel Shangyul, a Chinese owned hotel in Rebkong County in Qinghai Province in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, has been closed following a protest from local Tibetans. The hotel banned people from speaking Tibetan in the hotel, imposing a fine of 500 yuan and threatening job losses. A local Tibetan has complained, saying that banning a minority language is against the Chinese constitution.
