China cracks down on Inner Mongolian minority fighting for its mother tongue
A police source within Inner Mongolia who requested anonymity for his protection told The Times that security forces across the region were working overtime. They’d been detaining several people a day for the last two weeks in his local police station alone, he said. He showed The Times images of arrest orders on the police force’s platform and said they received new targets every two to three hours, usually people who had been protesting or supporting protests online.
The police were entering these Mongols’ homes and making them sign pledges to not speak against the bilingual program anymore, the source said. If they did not comply, they were detained, he said, and would become “key individuals,” marked in China’s police databases as threats to security requiring targeted surveillance and control.

//As the CCP’s drive to wipe out Mongolian culture intensifies, new measures are planned to ban livestock grazing—an integral part of the traditional nomadic lifestyle.
//the CCP declares that it aims to “recover the grassland ecosystem.” In reality, though, the end goal seems to be a complete eradication of the Mongolian nomadic way of life.
//We, ethnic people, can do nothing but graze. If we are forbidden from grazing, how is it different from slaughtering us?”
//“It’s wrong that grazing is prohibited in the name of restoring grassland ecology, shifting the blame onto five animals and Mongolians,”... “If mining is stopped, grassland ecology will restore its balance itself.”
