  • Inner Mongolia is one of China's five "autonomous regions," but previously it has been an independent country twice (sort of). Here's its history, including its present day separatist movements, boiled down into a 5 minute guide.

      Thank you! Just so you know, I vastly simplified the story for Outer Mongolia. There was a tussle for control between China and the Russians/Soviets between 1911-1928. I'm not exactly sure why everyone wanted their own puppet state in this part of Asia, though!

      @@FredoRockwell China does not want to turn Outer Mongolia into a puppet state, but rather wants Outer Mongolia to remain China's territory, just as Inner Mongolia is China's territory. The Yuan Dynasty established by the Mongols once unified China, and the dynasty established by the Mongols used the system of Han political power, including national titles, emperor titles, and posthumous titles after the emperor's death. These are all systems left over by the Han people. The Mongols were actually Chinese at that time. The Qing Dynasty also ruled over the entire Mongolian territory. During the Qing Dynasty, both Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia were on the territory of China. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China declined and gradually lost control over Outer Mongolia. After the Republic of China replaced the Qing Dynasty, warlords separated and had almost no control over Outer Mongolia. The Soviet Union then targeted Outer Mongolia, hoping to give it independence from China, because China was still a weak country at that time and could not stop it, Only Outer Mongolia can be recognized as independent. After Outer Mongolia gained independence, the Soviet Union turned Outer Mongolia into its own puppet state. To be honest, if Outer Mongolia were not independent, the quality of life of the current Outer Mongolian people would definitely improve significantly.

      Dzungars were long genocided back in 18th century, now Xinjiang has less Mongol population than Inner Mongolia, thus it's no longer correct to claim Dzungaria as a Mongol land. If the genocide didn't happen, I bet there would've been two Mongolias by now, or a just a bigger Mongolia

    Sorry you want to do more research, there was not a total ban on the teaching of Mongolian language in schools they just switch the use of Mandarin Chinese on 2 or 3 subjects one of them is math.

    • @FredoRockwell
      @FredoRockwell  Před rokem +1

      Sounds like you ought to listen to the video more carefully, and avoid bad faith arguments. I said, "More recently, protests erupted after the government decided to stop teaching schoolchildren in Mongolian and switched to teaching in Mandarin." Based on what you say, I got this right (as I didn't use the words "total ban" but instead used more general language). Even if this could be argued to be a slight misrepresentation (which it isn't) the protests were still about the change in teaching language, however many subjects the change covered. If you are correct, it doesn't change the point being made at this part of the video in any way (so a bad faith argument in my opinion).

    Regarding 1:41, I believe it would have been more accurate for the CCP flag to move in from the north/Manchuria instead of Beijing/Shandong, because with the civil war the communists main army had been basically pushed to Manchuria by the KMT, from where they then launched their major offensives that won them the civil war.
    Also what I think might be good to point out is that historically Inner Mongolia existed separate from the Chinese was for the region of geography, as the southern border of the Inner Mongolian region is defined by Loess Plateau's eastern edge and the greater Khingan mountain range. Only really with the Mongol Yuan Dynasty did the region first come to belong as a part of China, because of Mongols. Then during the Qing Dynasty the region would also only really become part of China due to the nomad Manchu ruled Qing Dynasty deciding to take over the whole of Mongolia. Historically Inner Mongolia has always been part of Mongolia due to geography, until the 20th century when China collapsed and a combination of Chinese colonisation/settlement and Russian interference led to these two regions being split apart, and today Inner Mongolia has so many Chinese people that integrating it into Mongolia would make Monglia majority Chinese funnily enough.

    I understand that it’s just a brief summary but I’d like to do my best to point out a couple flaws in this video.
    0:15 Pretty large simplification considered Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia weren’t really their own provinces and more, regions made up of Banners, Leagues, Aimags and directly controlled territories. There were also the Upper Mongols of Qinghai and the western Oirat Mongols of Dzungaria/Xinjiang.
    0:33 It was less, USSR meddling in politics more, Red Army backing a Mongolian socialist revolution against the Chinese, who reoccupied Outer Mongolia in 1919. Also, it might have been helpful to note, the Bogd Khanate did try to invade and liberate Inner Mongolia from 1912-1915.
    1:25 This is, in my opinion the worst part of the video. The Inner Mongolian People’s Republic wasn’t a Soviet puppet state. It was established by multiple Inner Mongolians seeking independence, they specifically requested soviet and Outer Mongolian support but were rejected, because the Soviets wished to back the Chinese communists instead.
    1:44 Ulanhu didn’t really invade, he came to Inner Mongolia and told them to dissolve their government and join the CCP, which they did peacefully. Would also be important to note, Ulanhu was slandered during the Cultural Revolution and Inner Mongolia was briefly partitioned by other provinces.
    3:58 Mongolia is the official name of the state, “Republic of” isn’t part of it
    Again, no hate, I’m aware it’s just a brief summary, but some of these mistakes are pretty bad. If I got anything wrong myself, feel free to correct me.

    The reference here to Southern Mongolia as an "autonomous zone" within the dynasty founded by Mao can be dispensed with as a disinformational fabrication. The video fails to note the striking contrast between Soviet and Han overlordship of the two Mongolias: Northern Mongolia retained a sense of cultural identity under Soviet stewardship while the Southern bit has had their ethnos and culture genocided with technocratic precision. This, interestingly, is exactly what Owen Lattimore predicted would happen.

    • @FredoRockwell
      @FredoRockwell  Před rokem

      I'm not sure I used the term "autonomous zone" in the video. Inner Mongolia is technically an "autonomous region" in China, which is a misleading term, but no more misleading than the terms "People's Republic" or "Soviet Socialist Republic." Totally avoiding the terminology used by a state itself isn't really a practical option for promoting discussion in my opinion as it will probably just confuse everyone.
      As for what the comparison I "failed" to note, this video is not a comparison between Mongolia and Southern Mongolia. I was trying to tell the story of Southern Mongolia primarily in a five minute video, and so therefore only covered Mongolia when it was directly relevant to the narrative. What I mean is, it was a deliberate choice.

      @@FredoRockwell You helpfully referred to the autonomous region in scare quotes in your description, which I failed to note, and the rationale for using the State sponsored nomenclature is sound. As to terminology, though, while "puppet state" is commonly used, it has the effect of supporting Han hegemonistic claims and diminishing the Japanese and Russian (and later Soviet) roles in the region's statecraft. Tatiana Linkhoeva is currently working on a study that should be helpful in this regard. Basically, various independence movements within the Manchu and Mongol allied with various factions within the Japanese (and Russian) government over time with mixed motivations and mixed results. Characterizing these entities as puppets is far too reductionist.

      @@realrhetoric I agree the term "puppet state" is potentially reductionist, but merely trying to cover this topic in just 5 minutes makes it necessary to stick to commonly understood terms. You also have a much more in depth knowledge of this period than I do, and from what you say it seems clear that if the Inner Mongolian People's Republic had endured, then Inner Mongolia would be much more likely to be independent today (in the same way that Mongolia is independent).
      However... I don't think the Soviet's expansionist moves in Asia were benevolent. It was a geopolitical power play that put the needs of the regime in Moscow above those of the local people. Perhaps the Soviets would have been better masters, but imperial masters nonetheless. If I was an Inner Mongolian living in the 1940s, I'm not sure I would have been able to determine which foreign power was better to be ruled by.

      @@FredoRockwell Well, that's the nice thing about Mongolia/Manchuria. We don't have to guess. The Soviets/Russia proved to be the much better overlord. Indeed, there's no territory that China's conquered that it hasn't genocided. We have now Tibet and Eastern Turkmenistan in addition to Southern Mongolia and Manchuria. Add to that China's coveting of Korea, Taiwan, Cambodia, Burma . . . all areas it claims as inalienable parts of the Motherland (and only a fraction of the total) ... relentlessly expansionist.
      Plus, we have Lattimore's prescience, mentioned above, to let us know that an informed observer at that time could see which way things were heading. The choice was never between independence and China or Russia. Independence wasn't on the table. The Manchus had enslaved the Han for centuries before their dynasty's collapse, so it was always going to be payback time. Siding with the Japanese was one of the few less undesirable options.
      I guess the most important point, though, is to separate out CCP historiography and really reject it wholesale.

Yes, the CPC enacts authoritarian policies that it thinks are in the best interest of society. Besides the ones you list there is also Xi's Zero COVID policy, which included locking people into their homes without access to food, wrecking the economy, and then spreading COVID just as much and killing just as many people when these are listed. Then there's the One Child Policy, which although lifted has still created a demographic cliff edge for China's economy. I don't doubt that the CPC sometimes bans something that isn't good for people, but these policies don't often work without causing damage in other areas, and other CPC policies cause LOTS of harm.
