The CCP plans to replace Mongolian language teaching with Chinese in southern Mongolia, detonating Mongolians at home and abroad and launching large-scale protests. The current tension continues to escalate, and many protesters have been arrested and detained by the Chinese Communist authorities.

The Department of Education of the Inner Mongolia Government recently issued a document stating that starting from September 1, Inner Mongolia Ethnic Schools, from elementary school to junior high school, will abandon Mongolian language and use Chinese as the textbook "Chinese". This move is considered to be the implementation of a policy of national cultural extinction and detonated protests by Mongolians at home and abroad.

On August 30, a video showed that students at a school in Inner Mongolia gathered in front of the school to protest the CCP’s push for Chinese language teaching. Many students shed tears, chanted slogans and refused to go to school.

The protests of the students won the support of many netizens, praising them for not kneeling to the power.

Current political commentator Xing Tianxing said that from Tibet to Xinjiang and then to Hong Kong, the CCP wanted to create unrest, and now it is Mongolia's turn.

Xing Tianxing: "Everything the CCP has done once again illustrates a problem. It is the Communist Party itself that really creates civil chaos in China and the suffering of the Chinese people. This evil regime, as long as it does not fall a day, all ethnic groups on the land of China will continue to Be violated by it."

Yili Shati, chairman of the Uyghur Association of the United States, said that the Chinese Communist regime is trampling on its own laws.

Yili Shati: “According to the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China, it wrote by itself to respect and protect the rights of all ethnic groups to develop their own previous culture and education. In addition, the Regional Ethnic Autonomy Law also stipulates that autonomous ethnic groups have the right to use the local language. Develop all aspects of education."

Yili Shati said that in 2016, the CCP had stopped Uyghur in schools in Xinjiang. But the Mongolians have an advantage over Xinjiang. There is a Mongolian country on the border, and the Mongolians are very united.

Yili Shati: "They also see the current situation of the Uyghurs and the current situation of the Tibetans. I believe they know that if they do not resist, just like us, their final destination will become a concentration camp. Therefore, they are resisting in the Jedi and choose to be resolute. Do not compromise, admire their spirit, support them, and hope they can hold on."

A video on Twitter shows that in order to defend the language, the Mongols have resisted riots and united in an unprecedented way. As long as the police catch one person, everyone will follow to ask someone!

The Southern Mongolia Human Rights Information Center (SMHRIC), headquartered in New York, said on August 29 that people from all walks of life, including some government officials in Southern Mongolia, launched large-scale protests.

Parents and teachers from all over the country also participated in the protests, and many school classrooms were empty. Ordinary herders also held simultaneous demonstrations in various places.

There were also students who jumped off the building to protest.

However, local protests were suppressed by the authorities. The Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center stated that hundreds of Mongolian activists were detained by the authorities or placed under house arrest. Some students and their parents were beaten and detained by the police. Someone in the WeChat group discussed related issues and was also arrested by the police.

However, the Mongolian people are not afraid of high-handed power, saying that they will definitely resist to the end and will not sit back and watch the national culture be eliminated.

Notes:

In Chinese, the region is known as "Inner Mongolia", where the terms of "Inner/Outer" are derived from Manchu dorgi/tulergi (cf. Mongolian dotugadu/gadagadu). Inner Mongolia is distinct from Outer Mongolia, which was a term used by the Republic of China and previous governments to refer to what is now the independent state of Mongolia plus the Republic of Tuva in Russia. The term Inner 内 (Nei) referred to the Nei Fan 内藩 (Inner Tributary), i.e., those descendants of Genghis Khan who were granted the title khan (king) in the Ming and Qing dynasties and lived in part of southern Mongolia. In Mongolian, the region was called Dotugadu monggol during Qing rule and was renamed into Öbür Monggol in 1947, öbür meaning the southern side of a mountain, while the Chinese term Nei Menggu was retained. The region is called Southern Mongolia by its delegation to the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_Mongolia)
