OVERVIEW OF INNER MONGOLIAN SEPARATIST ORGANIZATIONS ABROAD
I.
“Inner Mongolian People’s Party” and the basic facts about its
key members
1.
Historical background
As early
as in the 1980s, Xi Haiming (Mongolian name Temtselt Shobshuud –
translator), Huchuntogus (Ch. Hu Qing Te Gu Si), Wang Manglai
(Ch. Wang Man Lai) and Hada were already discussing, while
studying at universities in Hohhot, the issue of establishment
of a political party for Mongolians in Inner Mongolia. At the
time, they were intending to inherit the name of the historical
“Inner Mongolian People’s Revolution Party,” and to use the name
“The New “Inner Mongolian People’s Party””, or shortly, “Inner
Mongolian People’s Party”. Later on, involved individuals from
the eastern parts of Inner Mongolia requested that after the
forming of the party, the task of Inner Mongolian independence
should be empathized on the eastern parts. Those from the
western parts argued that it should be opposite, as the western
parts more representative of the Mongol culture, and are lesser
influenced by the Chinese culture, in addition to the fact that
Chinggis Khan passed away in the west. They insisted that the
party leaders should mainly come from the west. The debate
continued, and they could not come to a final conclusion.
Afterwards, Huchuntogus returned to Ikh Juu League, and
established “The Ordos Association of Ethnic Culture”; Hada and
some others established “The Southern Mongolian Democratic
Alliance” to work for independence for eastern Inner Mongolia;
Xi Haiming and others fled abroad. Later on, with the support of
the United States, and based on the previous discussions, they
official formed the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” (IMPP) in
New York, in March, 1997.
More than
50 Inner Mongolians from Germany, Japan, United States, Canada,
and Mongolia have attended the first congress of the “Inner
Mongolian People’s Party” as members. Xi Haiming was elected as
the President of the party, Bache Vice President, Oyunbilig
General Secretary, and the organization was headquartered in the
US. The first conference passed the constitution of the party,
which stated the party’s guiding principles as “to uphold the
principles of democracy and peace in fighting to end the Chinese
Communist Party's colonial rule in Inner Mongolia,” and “the
ultimate goal of the IMPP is to achieve the independence of
Inner Mongolia.”. The conference also agreed on the party flag,
and issued and distributed “A Open Letter to the People of Inner
Mongolia.”
After the
conference, Xi Haiming and Bache visited Mongolian embassy to
the US in Washington DC to meet the embassy official
Perleetseren, and to have a dinner together.

Xi
Haiming’s main activities:
Xi Haiming
was one of the organizers during the 1982 Inner Mongolian
student movement against the document No. 28 of the Central
Committee of CPC.
On April
6, 1993, as an exiled representative of the “Inner Mongolian
League for Defence of Human Rights”, Xi Haiming met Foukernorman,
member of Germany’s parliament and the Vice President of the
Commission on Human Rights and Charity. He claimed that “the
human rights group was established in Inner Mongolia in 1987,
and there were 20 members. Currently some of them are in exile
abroad, and some have been imprisoned by Chinese government.” He
asked for the support of the international human rights
organizations.
On June,
13, West Asian nationalists gathered in Istanbul, Turkey to
inaugurate the birth of “Eastern Turkestani News”. As the
European representative to Inner Mongolian National Libration
Front”, Xi Haiming sent telegraph of congratulations to the
event.
On
September 13, Xihaiming attended the “World Mongol Conference”
in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. During the conference, he distributed
anti-revolutionary leaflets entitled “Protest the Chinese
oppression of Mongols in Inner Mongolia”.
November,
22, as the president of “Inner Mongolian People’s Libration
Front”, Xi Haiming attended the fourth conference of the “Allied
Committee” organized by the ethnic separatists of Tibet,
Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia in Munich, Germany. Xi Haiming was
elected as one of the leaders of the committee.
In July,
1994, after the conviction of the separatist figures,
Ulaanshobuu (Ch. Wu Lan Shao Bu), Xi Haiming actively contacted
the Amnesty International, and through the organization, he
tried to put pressure on the leaders of our region, by making
complaints of injustice.
On October
16, Xi made a special trip from Germany to the United States to
attend the “International Conference on East Turkestan, Inner
Mongolia, Tibet and Taiwan” at Columbia University.
July,
1995, during the visit of Jiang Zimin to Germany, Xi Haiming
attempted to raise the Inner Mongolian issue at the press
conference to the attention of Chinese government, but with no
success. In September the same year, prior to the opening of the
World Women’s Conference in Beijing, the Dalai clique and
organizations in the US and Germany contacted him to ask if he
has anything that they could help him put forward at the
conference, and suggested him to send delegates to attend the
conference.
In
January, 1996, “World Mongolian Union” and other Mongolian
groups abroad held the second preparatory meeting for the “World
Mongol Gathering” in 1998. Main topics of the meeting included:
to draw up the contents of democratic movement in Inner Mongolia
in 1998; to set up a foundation which will be consisted of US
institutions and will support Inner Mongolian “democratic
movement”; to design a flag of an “independent Inner Mongolia”.
In
February of the same year, a number of expatriate Mongolians and
some Americans who support Inner Mongolian independence, have
found in Indiana, USA, an organization that was focused on
Mongolian regions in China – “21st Century Mongolian
Independence Initiators’ Group”, or shortly “33 Persons Group”.
Xi Haiming was elected as a member of the central committee of
the “33 Persons Group”. The group has also drew up its
“constitution” and “action plan”.
March, 20,
1997, with the suggestion of Xi Haiming and others, a
closed-door meeting was held in Princeton, USA. More than 50
participants came from USA, Germany, and Inner Mongolia and
other Mongol regions in China. “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”
was officially established at the meeting, and Xi Haiming was
elected as President. The headquarters of the party were set up
the US. Later on, branches were set up in Germany, Mongolia,
Russian Buryat republic, and Great Britain, and extended its
organization into China. The meeting also passed the
constitution of “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”, and issued “An
Open Letter to the People of Inner Mongolia”.
In August,
at the instigation of people including Xi Haiming, the European
Parliament passed the “Resolution concerning the present
situation in Inner Mongolia and the conviction of the founder of
the ‘Southern Mongolian Democracy Alliance’, Mr. Hada”. Xi
Haiming immediately told the news to other separatist and
pointed out that the case is “not just about legal issues, but
also about political and ethnic problems.”
On 25,
February, 1998, the Taiwanese Independence Joint Party, World
Taiwanese Association, Green Party and the Nation-Building Party
invited the Dalai Lama’s brother Tayi Rinpoche Thupden, founder
of Eastern Turkestani Liberty Center, Aniwar Yusuf, and the vice
president of “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”, Bache, to Taiwan
to participate in activities including the remembrance of “28,
February” and the “Discussion on Independence and
Self-determination”, etc. During the time, head of Taiwan’s
Legislative Committee, Liu Sungpan and the then Mayor of Taipei,
Chen Shuipien met with the delegates. In February, 1992,
delegates from Germany, UK, France, and Denmark had gathered on
the bank of Rhine River, and Xi Haiming had attended this
meeting. The meeting discussed a lobbying during the United
Nations Conference on Human Rights in Geneva. Xi Haiming wrote
up a “Report on Human Rights in Inner Mongolia” and handed it
over to the conference. Since 1999, Xi Haiming has constantly
made phone calls to the key separatist figures in our region,
and encouraged them to take actions. He said: “you cannot just
to wait for me. The Uyghurs came to people’s attention only
after they used bombs. Nowadays, when people discuss issues,
Inner Mongolia is always scheduled in the very end. Under this
circumstance, how can I be making bricks without straws? I think
our people inside should be get moving and making some noises.
Except a few people such as Hada, while Uyghurs using knives and
bombs, what we Inner Mongolians are doing is only to tolerate.”
Bache
Bache was
born in March, 1955 in Bortala, Xinjiang. Bache used to be a
member of the Communist Party of China. He went abroad on
official duty in 1990, and did not return. At present he is a

In 1988,
Bache was introduced to the Prince of Denmark who was visiting
Xinjiang and accompanied him to travel in Bayangol and Bortal
Mongolian regions. The prince was aware that there are some
Mongolian documents in the library of Denmark needed translation
and he thought that Bache is a right person for the job as he
knew both Mongolian language and history. Upon returning to
Denmark, the prince sent Bache an invitation. In 1990, Bache
went to Denmark through official channels. Later, he went to the
US and worked with Columbia University as a researcher.
Main
activities of Bache:
After
arriving in the US, Bache colluded with the Western anti-China
forces and the ethnic separatists who fled our region, and
actively engaged in activities aimed at Inner Mongolia.
On October
16, 1994, Bache attended the International Conference on East
Turkistan, Inner Mongolia, Tibet and Taiwan at Columbia
University as an Inner Mongolian delegate. On 24 May, 1995,
under the name of the president of “Mongolian Association of
Human Rights”, Bache sent a congratulatory letter to the
conference of “Chinese Democratic United Front”. Between 20 and
23 of March, 1997, Bache colluded with the separatists who fled
our region such as Oyunbilig, Xi Haiming, and Altanbat, under
the name of “Southern Mongolian Freedom Movement”, held a secret
meeting in Princeton, USA. Funded by the “33 Persons Group” and
having the US orchestrating behind the curtain, at the meeting
they discussed their strategies about the Inner Mongolian “human
rights” and “ethnic issues”, the issue of establishing “Inner
Mongolian People’s Party” and the drawing of the party’s
constitution. At the meeting, Bache distributed his articles “A
Study on the Case of IMPRP during Cultural Revolution”, “Nine
Ideas on the Resolution of the Mongolian Issue in China” and
“The Pattern of the Future Federation of China and the Mongolian
Issue”. On 24 March, Bache accompanied Xi Haiming and Altanbat
to Washington DC, to hand over a press release on the
establishment of “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” to the Voice
of America.
The views
of Bache:
Since
1995, Bache has written many articles and distributed them at
international events and published them in various magazines.
His main works include “The Harmful Impact of China’s Nuclear
Tests to the Mongolians”, (“China Spring”, October, 1995); “Nine
Ideas on the Resolution of Mongolian Issues in China” (“China
Spring”, November, 1995); “A Study on the case of IMPRP during
Cultural Revolution” (Beijing Spring, January, 1996); “Pattern
of the Future Federation of China and the Mongolian Issue”
(distributed at the conference in Princeton, March, 1997);
“Crossing the Western Border; Expect No Good Sorts” (26, March,
1997, “World Daily”, Taiwan); “The Darkest Corner of Mainland
China” (“China Spring”, April, 1997) and “50 Years of Turmoil in
Inner Mongolia” (“Debate”, May, 1997).
Opinions
of Bache could be summarized as the following:
1.
Mongolia has always been an independent nation historically, and
China “has totally destroyed the Mongolian system of religion
and state”, and divided and disintegrated Demchogdongrub’s
(known as “Teh Wang” in recent history – trans.) movement for
independence and self-rule, and the government of
“constitutional monarchy”. Inner Mongolia Autonomous region was
established thus.
2. The
fifty years of Inner Mongolia is a “fifty years of turmoil”. It
is a fifty years during which “the conflict and hatred between
the Chinese and the Mongols continually escalated for half a
century”.
3. “The
independence of Mongolia has always been a headache for China”.
There is no genuine autonomy in Inner Mongolia and the main
reason for Inner Mongolian turmoil is the oppression of the
Chinese communists”. “Population transfer and assimilation” are
important reasons for worsening of the relationship between the
Chinese and the Mongols. Ever since the establishment of Inner
Mongolia Autonomous Region on May 1, 1947, this part of
Mongolian grassland has been flooded with violence, turmoil,
poverty, and hatred,” and it made the Mongolians determined to
“resist the ethnic oppression to save their own nation, and
ultimately to gain full independence by uniting all Mongols from
various regions.” The “tiny spark of the fire of independence”
in Inner Mongolia is about to lit up the prairie.
4. Based
on the international circumstance and the special condition of
China being a major power, “under the condition of ethnic
self-determination, federation or confederation should be
practiced.”

Oyunbilig’s main activities abroad:
After
arriving in the US, Oyunbilig actively involved in the ethnic
separatist movement and established organizations such as
“Southern Mongolian Freedom Alliance” to carry out activities
targeting Inner Mongolia. On April 30, 1998, along with
Erdenibat and others, under the name of “Southern Mongolian
Freedom Alliance”, he went on a 49-hour hunger strike and sit-in
in front of the General Consul of China in New York. They
requested the release of so called “over 30 Mongolian students
and intellectuals who were arrested by the Chinese government
since December, 1995.” They claimed that “although an autonomous
region was established, so called autonomy is merely just a
label. The Chinese Communist Party imposes restrictions on
activities to promote Mongolian history and culture. We decided
to start this hunger strike at 12:00 noon, April 30, or 24:00 on
May 1 in Beijing. The reason is to remember those Mongols who
were killed by the Chinese since the establishment of Inner
Mongolia Autonomous Region on May 1, 1947.”
In
January, 1997, Oyunbilig once again organized a demonstration in
New York, USA, to protest the arrest of Mongolian intellectuals
in Inner Mongolia, and requested the release of Hada, Tegshi
(Ch. Te Ge Xi) and others. On March 20, 1997, Oyunbilig and
others, with the support of “33 Persons Group”, under the name
of the “Southern Mongolian Freedom Alliance”, held a meeting in
Princeton and gave a speech. Oyunbilig also had a meeting with
the head of the Asian section of the human rights commission of
the US Congress. Along with Xi Haiming and others, Oyunbilig
established the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”, and was
elected as the first secretary general. After the reorganization
of the party at its third conference, he became the executive
director. Oyunbilig is the creator of the IMPP’s official
website and he also initiated as well as participated in the
writing of “An Open Letter to the People of Inner Mongolia” and
IMPP’s constitution and publicized them on the Internet.

In
Mongolia, D. Muren has organized the Demchegdongrov Association
and brought it into the Southern Mongolian Coordination Club. On
May 3, 1992, he attended a clandestine meeting organized by the
State Library of Mongolia, discussing the “unification of Three
Mongolia”. The meeting called on “all of Mongolian descendents
to fight for the revitalization and unity of the Mongol nation.”
The meeting also suggested an adjustment in strategy, saying
that the main things that need to be done for the “Three
Mongolia Unification” movement at the current stage would be to
advertise on the spirit of Chinggis Khaan, to ideologically and
culturally unify the Mongols prior to the fight for
independences of Inner Mongolia and Buryatia, ultimately
unifying the whole Mongolia.
On May 17,
1992, D. Muren wrote, under the name of “Inner Mongolian Youth
Center”, the “Message to the People of the World” which claimed
the people of Inner Mognolia have been fighting for forty years,
enduring great sufferings violation of their hopes. He called on
the Mongolian students to actively join the “contemporary free
students organization --- Demchegdongrov Association” to support
Inner Mongolian students.
In June
1992, he completed his book “Human Rights in Inner Mongolia”, in
which he claimed that “recently, in the wake of international
community’s increasing attentions to the human rights situation
in China, human rights issues of Inner Mongolia are also calling
attentions of human rights organizations around the world. One
can see how miserable the life of the Mongols under the
Han-Chinese regime is. The Mongols in the region have no freedom
of speech, press, and birth. Rights to traveling to abroad,
communicating with others, changing their residences, are also
restricted”.
On
September 13, 1993, D. Muren attended the “World Mongolians
Conference” held in Ulaanbaatar.
On
December 27, 1991, D. Muren took the lead of the demonstration
in front of the Chinese Embassy to Mongolia, and published
anti-China articles on Mongolian media, expressing his feelings
of hostility toward China.
D. Muren
has repeatedly attacked the Chinese Communist Party’s ethnic
policy when he published articles on Mongolian newspapers and
given interviews to news media. Right after the establishment of
the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” in the United States, D.
Muren with others eagerly acted in responses, and established
the Mongolian Branch of the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”,
and he became the head of the branch.
August 27,
2000, D. Muren left Mongolia for a resettlement in Sweden. At
his request, human rights groups helped him complete the
immigration procedure to Sweden, provided him with a plane
ticket and 2,000 US dollars, and agreed to pay for his living
cost for a year before he is able to take care of himself.
D. Muren
said his plan is to firstly overcome the language barrier in a
year and become economically independent. He said, no matter
what he will be doing for a living, it is his life-time
commitment to fight against the Chinese, and this commitment
will include two parts: firstly, to fight for the Southern
Mongolian human rights and to strengthen the struggle for
Southern Mongolian human rights; secondly, to fight to protect
the national independence and territorial integrity of the
current state of Mongolia. He states, to accomplish this
commitment two tasks must be done: firstly, to expose “China’s
ambition in invading Mongolia” to the Mongols of the independent
Mongolia; secondly, to reveal “China’s ambition to exterminate
Mongolian culture and make Mongolia a province of China
following its invasion of Mongolia” to the people around the
world.

Main Activities of the IMPP
On March
20, 1997, at the inaugural meeting of the “Inner Mongolian
People’s Party”, party president Xi Haiming gave a speech in
Chinese, urged the government of China to improve human rights
condition of ethnic Mongols in Inner Mongolia, and requested the
release of Hada, Tegshi and others.
Shortly
after the establishment of IMPP the United States, some Inner
Mongolian key separatists who fled to Mongolia have organized
and founded a branch of IMPP in Ulaanbaatar. Leaders of the
branch are: Soyolt, D. Muren, Khuviskhaalt; members are:
Baldan-odsor, Altanchuluu, Puntsag, Chimeg, Alhaa etc.
This
branch has plotted in using Inner Mongolian students in Mongolia
to carry promotional materials of IMPP into Inner Mongolia
during the fiftieth anniversary of Inner Mongolia Autonomous
Region (IMAR). They also planned on recruiting members for IMPP
in Inner Mongolia, mainly among students and businessmen.
“An Open
Letter to the People of Inner Mongols” claims that “Mongolia was
historically an integrated and independent nation.” It falsely
accuses the Chinese Communist Party of practicing Han-Chinese
chauvinist ethnic policies for half a century, cracking down
harshly on the ethnic Mongolian intellectuals and elites. The
letter also states that the Chinese Communist Party has used
armed forces to secure its special administration in Inner
Mongolia, and arrested peaceful demonstrators and sentenced
individuals such as Hada and Tegshi to long-term imprisonment.
“Current
international environment is very favorable to us. The collapse
of communism in former Soviet and Eastern Europe released the
force of nationalism, which has long been suppressed, to push
forward national liberation movements to a further step. In
future China, Inner Mongolian independence movement will become
unstoppable”. The letter also said that “when the Mongol
nation’s existence is in peril, we must seize this important
historical opportunity to fight for the freedom and future of
the Mongols. Fate of the Mongols must be created and decided by
the Mongols themselves.”
On April
26 - 27, 1997, in order to protest “the Chinese Communist
Party’s suppression and exploitation in Inner Mongolia”, members
of the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” held demonstrations in
front of the Chinese embassy to the United States and the United
Nations headquarter, later in front of the Chinese Consulate in
Houston, the Chinese embassies to Germany and Mongolia.
On July
20, 1997, under the instigation of the “Human Rights in Inner
Mongolia” and the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”, members of
the Mongolian Students Association gathered in Suhbaatar Square
in Ulaanbaatar to hold a demonstration, to protest against the
50 years anniversary of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,
requesting the immediate release of Hada and Tegshi.
In the
mid-August 1997, with Temtselt’s instigation, the European
Parliament passed the “Resolution on Inner Mongolia”, condemned
the Chinese government’s human rights situation, and requested
the Chinese government to re-try Hada’s case under the monitor
of international community in order to give the defendants an
impartial trial. Shortly later, the European Parliament passed
the so-called “Resolution Concerning the Present Situation in
Inner Mongolia and the Conviction of Mr. Hada, founder of the
‘Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance’”.
On January
28, 1998, in his telephone conversation with Ulaanshovuu, Xi
Haiming mentioned that there occurred some differences and
conflicts between him and people around him. He mentioned the
fact that his situation abroad isn’t that great, and often he
becomes target of misunderstanding and criticism from his
friends. Xi Haiming makes regular contacts with Tibetans and
Uyghurs in exile, to discuss about carrying on their anti-China
and anti-CCP activities, and he actively seeks support from
international anti-China forces.
In
February 1998, Oyunbilig, one of the key members of the IMPP,
left China for Mongolia in 1994. Later on he went to the United
States and was recruited by the actions department of CIA. He
helps CIA to select new members from Inner Mongolia,
transferring them from Inner Mongolia to the United States for
trainings. By 1998, four groups had already been recruited and
trained.
From
February 25 to March 7, 1998, IMPP member Bache, along with
Tibetan and “East Turkestani” separatists, on the invitation of
World Taiwanese Association (Shi Tai Hui), Taiwanese
Independence Alliance, Green Party and Nation-Building Party,
visited Taiwan. They met with Liu Songpan, president of the
Legislative Committee, Chen Shuipien, the then mayor of Taipei,
and participated in a series of events and activities such as:
the “Conference of Independence and Self-determination”
organized by the “Minchung Daily”, conferences for Tibet issues
and Taiwanese future, and some demonstrations. Gao Zilian,
president of Mongolian & Tibetan Affairs Commission, said
“Non-governmental organizations shouldn’t be interfered from
having their own stands, no matter government agrees with it or
not.”
On March
23, 1998, when talking to Huchuntogus over the phone from
Germany, Xi Haiming expressed his discontent on Huchuntogus’
pessimism and passiveness, and encouraging him to instigate
Mongolian youth. He repeatedly urged Huchuntogus to establish a
political party.
On April
14, 1998, D. Muren accepted an interview with Mongolian
correspondent Ya. Magsarhuu, claiming that “Han-Chinese
chauvinism has ideologically occupied Inner Mongolia, Tibet, and
East Turkistan” and “especially in Inner Mongolia, every inch of
the territory is ruled by the Han-Chinese. Mongols in
Ulaanbaatar and around the world should pay attention to the
problem”. D. Muren had organized Mongolian youth naadam
festivals in Ulaanbaatar and on the shore of the lake Baikal in
1991 and 1992 respectively. In 1997, he wrote a book entitled
“Tragic Experiences of Inner Mongolia”.
On April
22, 1998, “Tolbo” magazine of Mongolia published D. Muren’s “My
Testimony”, insulting the Chinese Communist Party and its
policies in ethnic minority autonomous regions, stating that “it
is legitimate and inevitable for Inner Mongolia, Tibet, and
Xinjiang to fight against the Chinese Communist Party for their
own causes to gain democracy and freedom.”
On April
27, 1998, Xi Haiming telephoned Hada’s wife Xinna, and told her
that he is going to hand in an open letter along with a list of
Chinese dissidents’ names to the US president Clinton and German
Chancellor Kohl.
On April

Mongolia” to Mongolian students of Department of Mongolian at
Inner Mongolia University, Department of Mongolian at Inner
Mongolia Normal University, Department of Grassland
Administration at Inner Mongolian Institute of Animal Husbandry,
and the Section of Translation at Inner Mongolian School of
Mongolian Language. The document gave a detailed description of
the demonstrations and protests being held in the United States
by “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” as well as the slogans and
places.
On May 1,
1998, Inner Mongolian separatists in the United States led by
the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” turned in an open letter to
the president Clinton. The letter insulted China carrying out
large-scale persecutions and massacres against ethnic Mongols
over the past 51 years, asked the US to uphold the justice, and
urged president Clinton to give a pressure on Chinese government
during his visit to China in the end of June for releasing Hada.
On May 31,
1998, separatists led by the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”
member Altanbat, Tibetan separatist organization Toronto Branch
member Tashi Gyaltsen and East Turkistan Human Rights
Association member Arbajin-Bayart, gathered in the United States
and held demonstration, issuing a joint statement to protest
against the “Florida Splendid China” theme park owned and
managed by China. They insisted that Genghis Khan was never a
Chinese king; Potala is the palace of the Dalai Lama but not
belonging to China; Tomb of Apak Hoja is Eastern Turkistan’s
cultural heritage, and does not belong to China. Therefore, they
insisted that these exhibitions should be removed immediately.
On October
28, 1998, “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” held its second
congress in Washington D.C. capital of the United States. Twenty
four representatives from Inner Mongolia, Mongolia, United
States, Canada, Japan, and Germany had attended the meeting. At
the meeting, IMPP condemned the Chinese government’s continuing
occupation and suppression in Inner Mongolia, calling on the
international community to pay attention to Inner Mongolian
human rights situation, urging the United States and other
countries to give pressure on the Chinese government to release
all political dissidents including Hada and Tegshi. During the
congress, “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”” reiterated its
resolve and goal to fight for Inner Mongolian freedom,
democracy, and human rights, and proposed to issuing
publications, campaigning on the release of Hada and Tegshi, and
establishing new branches of the party.
In October

published articles regarding Hada’s wife Xinna’s letter to
President Clinton, sought from the United States government and
the Congress, claiming that Xinna and her son were mistreated by
the Chinese authorities.
November
1998, “A Mongolia Day” magazine in Mongolia published D. Muren’s
interview “I will attack the Chinese embassy if they threaten me
again”. “In my opinion, sometimes it is inevitable to use
violence in our long-term struggle against the Han-Chinese,” D.
Muren told the correspondent, “the Chinese are trying to occupy
the vast territory of Mongolia because they are hungry for farm
land”. “Several people threatened to kill me”, he revealed to
the “Yellow News” in an interview, “it’s because I’m still in
the position of director of the office of foreign affairs and
media of Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance, and most of my
information came through special channels”. “Southern Mongolia
consists of the Chinese occupied Mongolian territories of Inner
Mongolia, Huhnuur, and Xinjiang”.
In January
1999, “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” published the article

minority situation in Inner Mongolia, to the human rights
conference.
In March
1999, “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” published article
“Explosion of China by 2000”, written by one of its key members
Altanbat. The article described two types of explosions that
might take place: one is China’s possible invasion to its
neighboring countries for relieving its internal pressure; the
other is a total political and economic collapse as taken place
in former Soviet Union.
In April
1999, “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” started to publish a
magazine, urging “Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance”
members and supporters to contribute to it. The contents main
covered China’s human rights problems, and particulary the
suppression of ethnic minorities. Xinna eagerly responded to
this and asked the members and supporters of “Southern Mongolian
Democratic Alliance” to take immediate action.
In April

expenditure for opening the bookstore and creating a reading
club by which they attempted to disguise their communication,
gathering, and propagating activities.
In April

Party” D. Muren has established a branch of the “Southern
Mongolian Democratic Alliance”, attempting to revitalize the
already banned “Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance” and
deepen its organizational notability and influence.
In April
1998, in order to widen its influence and deepen its ideological
infiltration, “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” started selling
on the Internet T-shirts with party’s flag printed on.
On May 1,

Oyunbilig published “a tale of Mongol yurt” to attack the
Chinese government’s policies toward ethnic minorities, and
through its contents the article targeted our country’s ethnic
minority exhibitions at “Florida Splendid China” theme park.
From June
to July 1999, former vice president of “Inner Mongolian People’s
Party” Bache had constantly published articles on the Internet
such as “One State, Two Systems and the Question of Ethnicity”,
“Inner Mongolian People’s Party Politically Challenges the
Chinese Communist Party” and “Difference of the Mongols and the
Chinese” to insult the Chinese Communist Party’s policies toward
ethnic minorities.
In July

hired some talented and influential personnel such as lawyers
and multi-linguals who have broad influences and close
connections with international organizations.
In August

Mongols in abroad to write to the government, public security
organs, procuratorial organs, and people’s courts of Inner
Mongolia and the key leaders for the release of Hada and Tegshi.
Gaining no success in that, they instigated the Inner Mongols at
home to write to the United Nations, the United States
government and the Congress as well as other international
organizations for the release of Hada and Tegshi. They have
published the pre-written petition on their website, asking the
supporters to copy or write similar letters. Then, the “Inner
Mongolian People’s Party” collected the petitions and put them
together before sending them to the United States government,
Amnesty International, and other human rights organizations.
They promised not to disclose information about the petitioners.
In August

II.
“World Mongolian Union”
September

presided the World Mongolian Conference in Ulaanbaatar,
Mongolia. Over 250 Mongols who participated the conference came
from 12 countries and regions including Mongolia, United States,
France, Germany, Canada, Nepal, Russia’s Buriyat, Kalmykia, Tuva,
and China’s Taiwan and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. At the
conference, a standing body called “World Mongolian Union” was
set-up.
1.
Organizational Structure and Key Leaders
“World
Mongolian Union” is an international nationality organization
composed of multi-national members. At the “World Mongolian
Conference”, Byambasuren was elected as the president of the
union; N. Manduev, Deputy Chairman of cabinet of Buriyat
republic in Russia, Kalmyk writer Dava Kugiltinov and Xi Muren,
key member of the “Mongolian Cultural Association” are elected
as vice presidents; former president of Mongolia’s
“International Peace and Friendship Committee”, S. Ganbold, was
elected as the executive director. The election also produced a
29-person executive committee including two Inner Mongols, and
decided to set-up branches in countries and regions where
Mongols reside.
2.
Organizational Mission
Under the
pretext of “revitalizing the Mongolian culture and improving the
Mongolian economy”, in fact the “World Mongolian Union” was
declaring to the world to gain the public support to prepare for
achieving the independence and unification of the Mongols as
Mongolia is the center, ultimately to found the “Great
Mongolia”.
In 1995,
Byambasuren stated that the mission of the “World Mongolian
Union” is to obtain independence and unification of the Mongols
around the world.
3. Main
Activities:
After the
“World Mongolian Conference”, Byambasuren planned immediately
for the four major tasks of the Union at current stage: firstly,
to establish the Inner Mongolian branch of “World Mongolian
Union”; secondly, to strengthen the relationships with various
individuals in Inner Mongolia; thirdly, to enhance the contacts
with Taiwan’s “Commission of Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs” as
well as with the Dalai Lama; fourthly, to set-up an office at
the United Nations.
In June
1995, a child organization of the “World Mongolian Union”,
“Great Mongol Branch” has proposed the propagating material
entitled “under the Mongol flag, on the heartland of the great
Mongolia, flags of the Mongolian states will wave in the air
around the world”, and clandestinely carried it into Inner
Mongolia. The material states on the front page that “Our fellow
Inner Mongolian youth should fight for independence, freedom,
democracy, and self-governance of Inner Mongolia.”
In 1996,
after Mongolian “Democratic Alliance” came into power, the
“World Mongolian Union” became increasingly active and
vigorously propagated its idea of creating the “Great Mongolian
Empire”. In June of the same year, the Union started to plan for
its activities in seeking the independence of Inner Mongolia.
They drafted so-called “Guideline of Inner Mongolian
Independence” entitled “The Last Choice of Inner Mongolia”. The
“guideline” says, now the opportunity of gaining Inner Mongolian
independence has already arrived, therefore, the main strategy
of the movement is to create and strengthen relationships with
Taiwanese, Tibetans, and the Uyghurs, to expand the national and
religious influences in Inner Mongolia, propagate the idea of
Inner Mongolian independence, and set-up underground organs in
mainland China.
III.
“Buryat Alliance”
1.
Basic Situation:
Buryat
Alliance, also known as “Shinehen Office”, was established and
registered in February 1993 in Ulaan-ude, Buryat Republic of
Russian Federation. It is mainly composed of the Buryat Mongols
who were immigrated from Ewenk Autonomous Banner in Hulun-boir
League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. The key
leader is Dolma.
2.
Historical Background:
In early
May, 1992, Russian president Yeltsin sent a message to the
Russians living in France, saying “your native country is
Russia, and now situation is changed. The Russian government
will issue Russian passports for you if you go back to your
native country.” After that, Russian residents Dolgar and Handa
who migrated from our region acted promptly, claiming that “the
Buryat in China had moved from the former Soviet Union to the
Shinehen region of Inner Mongolia’s Hulun-boir League in 1922
because of the October Revolution. Like the Russians who
migrated to France, they should be qualified for the criteria of
president Yeltsin.” They also proposed to establish a “Buryat
Association” that will serve for Buryats, and planned to appoint
the former vice president of Ewenk Autonomous Banner Archive
Bureau, Dolma, who is a Russian resident, as in-charge.
Meantime, during their visits to Inner Mongolia, the Buryats who
migrated from our country to Russia claimed that “the Buryats
willing to immigrate to Russia will be treated equally as
citizens by the Russian government, and if they marry to Russian
citizens, they will become Russian citizens immediately. An
appropriate number of livestock and houses will be given to the
Buryats who are resettled to rural areas, a residential district
will be assigned to them, and free education and free medical
treatment will be given to the new comers.” Under these
instigation and enticement, an increasing number of Buryats
applied for immigration to Russia from our region.
Because of
the large number of immigrants to Russia, there spread
tremendous harmful effects in Ewenk Autonomous Banner that
brought an exploitable opportunity to the exiled separatists.
Some opportunists from Ulaan-Ede and Aginsk Nationality District
in Chita Stata have feverishly incited and added fuel to the
flame. Some said, “the native country of the Buryats who are
currently living in China is Russia. They are bitterly stricken
by poverty, and the condition of their houses is worse than that
of Russian cowsheds.” Under the name of the organization, Dolma
and Handa have regularly visited back to China, spreading rumors
to the Buryats, saying “it is better to move to Russia rather
than living in poor China. At the current stage, Russia is
experiencing difficulties, but still better than China. If the
Buryats in China move to Russia, they will enjoy the
preferential policy by the Russian government. They can become
Russian citizens and equally enjoy all rights of the Russian
citizens such as employment, free education and medical
treatment.”
IV.
“The Coordination Club of Southern Mongolian Revitalization
Movement”
“Coordinating Club of Southern Mongolian Revitalization
Movement” mainly consists of “Free Southern Mongolia Movement”,
“Southern Mongolian Human Rights and Ecological Protection
Alliance”, “Inner Mongolian Youth Center”, “Inner Mongolian
Democratic Alliance”, “Southern Mongolian Religious and Cultural
Revitalization Society”, “Duguilang Movement”, and coordinates
all activities of the six organizations. This “Coordination
Club”, founded in 1992, is composed of the key members of
Mongolian and Inner Mongolian “Three Mongolian Unification”
advocates. The main goal of the organization is to separate
Inner Mongolia from China. Its key leaders are: Amguulang and
Gendendarmaa, leaders of the “Three Mongolian Unification
Committee”; D. Muren, the leader of “Inner Mongolian Youth
Center”.
1.
Organizational Mission:
-
As the coordinator of all Southern
Mongolian opposition organizations, it is committed to contact
and cooperate with all dissident organizations and individuals
to internationalize the Inner Mongolian problems;
-
Call on the Southern Mongols to “revolt
and resist the Chinese Communist Party’s suppression and
assimilation policies in Inner Mongolia” by non-violence
means;
-
Support the just struggles of Tibetans
and the Chinese democratic movement;
-
Urge the Chinese Communist Party to stop
carrying out the Han-Chinese Chauvinist red-terror policies in
Inner Mongolia, and to release all dissidents who are
currently being imprisoned in Inner Mongolia.
2. Main
Activities:
(1) To
Attack the Chinese Communist Party’s “Han-Chinese Chauvinistic
colonial policies” in Inner Mongolia to propagate Inner
Mongolian sovereignty. Between July and September, 1992, this
organization published articles on the publications of Mongolian
democratic parties, insulting the Chinese Communist Party’s
ethnic policies, exaggerated that China has used violence in
Inner Mongolia, and propagated “the world democracy and the
struggles of nations toward independence have brought great hope
for Inner Mongolians who have long suffered from the Chinese
suppression.”
(2) Organizing
activities protesting against Mongolian government’s policy of
forcing the Inner Mongols to leave Mongolia. In 1992, Mongolian
government made a decision to force the foreigners (including
political activists who fled to Mongolia few years ago) who have
overstayed their visas to leave the country within certain
period of time. Amguulang and Gendendarmaa, leaders of the Club,
claimed that they will organize protest and demonstrations if
Mongolian government drives the Southern Mongolian brothers and
sisters out. On August 29 and September 4, 1992, the Club
gathered the leaders of six organizations including “Free
Southern Mongolia Movement” to discuss countermeasures for the
Mongolian government’s decision to deport the Inner Mongolians.
Simultaneously, they took concrete measures to protect and help
the Mongols from China. Except this, they have also worked on
publicizing and internationalizing the Inner Mongolian issue.
V.
“Prince De Association”
“Prince De
Association” is a nationalist organization founded by D. Muren
in Mongolia. When it was established, it has around 15 members
of which five from Inner Mongolia and ten from Outer. Later on,
discord occurred within the group, and as a result, Xi Haiming
and Huhhad left the Association. D. Muren stayed in Mongolia to
lead “Prince De Association”. The main goal of the organization
is to save Inner Mongolia from the “Han-Chinese colonization”,
and achieve the independence and unification of the Mongol
nationality. The main task of the organization at current stage
is to let people around the world to recognize, understand, and
support the organization.
In April
and May of 1998, the leaders of the organization visited the
United States and England to lobby in order to propagate their
idea of national unification. The organization gained enormous
support from the Mongolian intelligence and some media, and it
support also from the United States.
In 1999,
“Prince De Association” renamed itself as “Association of Inner
Mongolian National Movement”. Because “Prince De Association”
lacked members and influence, it could not achieve success.
Therefore, D. Muren contacted Xi Haiming to join the more
influential organization – “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”.
In 2001,
upon arriving Sweden with the help of international
organizations, D. Muren swore to fight against the Chinese
government to the end.
VI.
“Three Mongolia Unification Committee”
The “Three
Mongolia Unification Committee”, founded in the early 90’s, is a
nationalist organization aiming at the “three Mongolias
(Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, and Buryatia) unification”. The head
of the organization is Chu. Amguulan.
On
May 3, 1992, “Three Mongolian Unification Committee”, “League of
Chinggis Khan’s Palace”, “Mongolian Youth Alliance”, “Buryat
Alliance”, and “Prince De Association” held a clandestine
meeting at the National Library of Mongolia, and called on all
people of Mongol descend around the world to fight for the
revitalization and unification of the Mongol nation. The meeting
recognized that “Three Mongolia unification” needs to change
the
strategy, and mainly needs to advocate Ginggis Khan’s spirit;
first to unify all Mongols in cultural and ideological areas,
secondly to fight for Inner Mongolian and Buryat independence,
finally to achieve the unification of three. Therefore, later,
“Three Mongolia Unification Committee” changed its name to
“World Mongolia Unification Task Force”.
Main
Activities:
1. Speed
up to achieve the strategic aim of unifying the Mongols
ideologically and culturally. To achieve this goal, the
Committee has actively set up many cultural organizations to
carry out its activities under the name of conducting researches
on the Mongolian culture. For example, it has established the
“International Center for Nomadic Culture” in Ulaanbaatar, and
held a national scholarly conference in July 1999. In Germany,
they also have set up “Mongolian Cultural Center” involving
Mongolians from Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, and other countries,
and it currently has more than 30 members.
2. Conduct
the “Three Mongolia Unification” ideological propaganda.
Amguulan, leader of the “Three Mongolia Unification Committee”,
spent two months in Russia’s Tuva, Kalmykia and Buryatia to
further propagate the “Three Mongolia Unification” idea in May
and June, 1993. According to Amguulan, a large number of
scholars and young students’ support for “Three Mongolia
Unification” activities firmly laid the foundation of the
movement. The Committee also proposed an on-foot travel through
Mongolian historical sites, and the plan included passing
through Bayannuur League, Alshaa League, and finally to reach
Lhasa, Tibet.
3. Proposed
a bill to create a legal condition for the “Three Mongolia
Unification” activities. Amguulan claims that the “Three
Mongolia Unification Committee” is proposing to follow the
example of Israel of showing special treatment to the Jews, to
grant the Mongolian citizenship to the Mongols around the world
to provide legal basis for the Mongolian reunion.
The
Committee’s above activities gained strong support from
Mongolians with social importance along with some Japanese.
Former prime minister of Mongolia, Byambasuren, strongly
supported the organization’s legal initiative. Specialists from
the “Future Development Center” under the Japanese Jieitai (Self
Defense Force) suggested that Japan will provide economic and
other support to the Mongols when Mongolia claims unification
with Inner Mongolia once there occurs chaos in China.

regime of communist party and to achieve the unification of the
Mongol nationality, ultimately to found the “Pacific Eastern
Great Mongol Empire” where the sun never sets.
Main
activities:
1. Attempted
to establish an interim government in Mongolia. The Association
sent someone to persuade Ochir, son of Prince De, to come to
Mongolia in the form of seeking asylum to succeed to Prince De’s
undertaking to create an interim government. Ochir initially
agreed to this plan and wanted to go to Mongolia, but could not
do so.
2. Actively
prepared for the independence of Inner Mongolian, Buryatia, and
Kalmykia. From 1996 to 1997, the Association sent personnel to
Russia’s Buryat and Kalmyk republics to spread the propaganda of
revitalizing the Mongols and supporting the independence of
Inner Mongolia, Buryatia, and Kalmykia, and finally to unify all
those regions with Mongolia.
3. Planned
to organize an armed force. In 1994, the Association planned to
organize an armed force, but later considering the reality of
China, they recognized that violence would not be succeeded.
Therefore, they decided to start from the ideology to vigorously
propagate the national independence and unification of the
Mongols, and organize armed force once the condition is
presented.
4. Sought
support of the Dalai clique. The Association contacted the
Mongolian Embassy to India and sent personnel to meet with the
Dalai Lama who was visiting Mongolia. At the meeting, they
introduced the Inner Mongolian ethnic problem, development of
Buddhism, and the current situation of the Association to the
Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama encouraged them to do well.
5. Established
a relationship with the “World Christianity United Association”.
The Association realized that the “World Christianity United
Association” established by the South Koreans in Mongolia is an
ideal organization for them to carry out many activities under
the cover of religion, because the Korean association’s goal is
consistent with that of the Mongolian one. Therefore, following
the guidance of the South Korean “Association”, the Association
established another organization called “Mongolian Association
of World Peace Family”.
6. Published
propaganda materials. With the contribution from Taiwan, the
Association set up a publishing house in Mongolia to publish the
Association’s propaganda materials.
VIII.
“World Mongolian Cultural Association”
In July
1995, D. Muren and others, in collusion with the Mongolian
extreme nationalists such as the vice president of Mongolian
Central Broadcasting, Badmaasambuu, established the “World
Mongolian Cultural Association” and stipulated the
“organizational constitution”. This association has already
officially registered in Mongolia and obtained a legal status.
On July 5,
1995, the Association proposed to hold an 8-day long “Mongolian
Cultural Conference” in Ulaanbaatar in order to commemorate 790
years anniversary of the founding of the “Mongolian Empire” by
Chinggis Khan. The conference slogan was: to further unify the
ideology and tradition of the Mongols to create a common
environment for promoting, developing, and accumulating the
Mongolian culture. In fact it is just to propagate the Mongolian
nationality’s independence and current situation. In particular
to emphasis on the situation in which the ethnic Mongols in
Inner Mongolia have become the target of the assimilation,
suppression, and deprivation of human rights, to discuss about
the future development of the problems, draw attention of
international community to the Mongol issue, and to gain
supports for Association’s future activities. D. Muren was
planning to distribute the “Constitution of World Mongolian
Cultural Association” as well as articles from his book “Tragic
History of Inner Mongolia” at the meeting. However, because of
the small number of attendees, the conference was not able to be
held.
IX.
“Mongol Nationality Unification Movement”
In the
beginning of 1991, former prime minister of Mongolian,
Byambsuren and member of the Ih Hural (Congress) of Mongolia,
Dashnyam, proposed to found the “Narmai Mongol” (Pan-Mongolia).
In May 1993, a clandestine organization named “Narmai Mongol”
was established in Ulaan-ude, capital city of Russia’s Buryat
Republic.
In
December 1996, this organization was renamed “Mongolian
Nationality Unification Movement”, and in September 1997, it was
legally registered in Mongolia. October of the same year, the
organization published its declaration and slogan on the “Il
Tovch”, a liberal newsletter issued by Mongolia Press Agency. In
the end of the year, the organization’s leading body approved
the “Proposal of Mongolian Nationality Unification Movement”. On
February 1998, the organization publicly declared its being
established.
Key
members:
President:
Gendendarmaa (philosopher);
Leading
body members: 9 members including Gendendarmaa, Tsedempil
(person in charge of the office of United Nations Commission on
Human Rights in Mongolia), Bat-ochir (a veteran of Buryat
Mongolian National Democratic Party and the president of Truth
Movement Association), and professors and doctors from Mongolian
Academy of Science and University of Ulaanbaatar. Mongolian
military intelligence and frontier defense personnel, and some
Inner Mongolians staying in Mongolia also joined the
organization and participated in its activities.
Nature
of the organization:
The
organization states that the unification of Mongol nationality
is the basic pledge of its own survival. Protecting and
promoting Mongolian nationality’s history, culture, tradition,
and life-style is the main goal of the organization. The great
Mongolian unification is the core leading ideology of the
organization. In order to achieve the unification of the
Mongols, it will use any possible way to carry out the struggle.
Main
activities:
1. To
create a consensus on national unification. Since 1998, key
members of the organization have published articles on various
papers to propagate the idea of “Mongolian national
unification”. In the beginning of 1998, Tsedempil and D. Muren
created a free newspaper named “Mongol Tolbo” (Mongolian Spot),
and published on it a series of articles titled “Tragic History
of Inner Mongolia”, which included more than 20 articles by
nationalists and democratic party members, to vilify the Chinese
Communist Party for carrying out “dictatorship rule” in Inner
Mongolia. In March 1998, president of the organization
Gendendarmaa continuously published articles on “Il Tovch” to
spread the idea of establishing “Narmai Mongol”. In September
1998, Tsedempil had someone to translate “Human Rights
Conventions” from English to traditional Mongolian script, and
planned to use human rights problems to stimulate the national
sentiment by distributing them in Inner Mongolia.
2. Tried
to form a government of pure Mongolian blood. The organization
considered that establishing a government of pure Mongol blood
is a crucial requirement for fulfilling the unification of
Mongol nationality. Therefore, it is necessary to organize and
establish an intelligence system to mainly investigate and
gather information about Mongolian military and political
leaders’ bloodline background. Meantime, in order to whip up
public opinions for establishing a political regime of pure
Mongol bloodline, the organization vigorously propagated its
idea among the public.
3.
Actively
expanded its organization into the borders of China and Russia.
In 1998, the organization held a meeting in Ulaanbaatar,
discussing about the blueprint of expanding its influence, for
example, “strengthening the ties with Buryat and Inner Mongolia
to expand into China and Russia”, and “protecting the Inner
Mongolian exiles in Mongolia to expand the organizational
power”, etc..
4.
In contact
with Chinese democratic organizations. In April 1999, Chinese
democratic organizations in exile sent personnel to discuss with
“Mongolian Nationality Unification Movement” about establishing
an ally. However, they could not reach agreement on establishing
the ally due to their difference of opinions.
X.
“World Mongolian Nationality United Movement”
“World
Mongolian Nationality United Movement” was established in the
1990s in Mongolia. Its goal is to unite with the Mongols around
the world to achieve the unification of the world’s Mongols
through peaceful and legal means. Current president is Akim, and
vice president Altanbat.
October
2000, this organization held a meeting in Ulaanbaatar with more
than 60 attended, including members of the “Inner Mongolian
People’s Party”. The meeting clearly stated that ideological
education and propaganda work are the main tasks at current
stage. Therefore it is necessary to actively carry out
propaganda to influence the vast public in order to awakening
the Mongols and arousing the spirit of independence and
unification of the Chinggis Khan era. It is crucial to gather
information regarding conflicts and problems of Chinese
institutional reforms, unemployment, and corruption, and make a
big fuss over the “open up the west”
Akim said,
“China’s ‘open up the west’ is essentially not an open-up, but a
large scale of plundering and occupation to the west. Because of
the overcrowded population of the inland, China wants to
transfer its population into western frontier’s minority
regions, and ultimately to plunder minority regions’ natural
resources and assimilate the ethnic minorities.”
Altanbat
said, “We must fully utilize this issue to carry out our
propaganda, deepening the hatred of the Mongols against the Han
Chinese, instilling the idea of national independence and
freedom into the people’s mind.”
The
meeting decided to carry out massive propaganda, saying “the
Chinese Communist Party is about to collapse and China will soon
be in chaos. Therefore, we must give people full confidence and
suggest the Mongols to prepare for the mentioned situation.”
The
meeting also stressed to actively expand its organizational
influence, and recruit members under the name of Christianity
and spirit of Ginggis Khan. In Inner Mongolia, except Xinna’s
organization, there will be another organization established to
manage to send the young key members who have bright futures to
Mongolia for further training.
The
meeting confirmed its strategy of organizational activities, and
mentioned to adjust its relationship with “Falun Gong” and other
organizations. This organization decided to openly organize and
participate various “three Mongolia” related cultural events,
widely exchanging ideas, evoking national sentiment, actively
propagating its proposals and goals, rallying and uniting the
Mongol nationality, and calling on them to fight for the
independence and unification of the Mongol nationality.
A key
leader of the organization said, “Even the ‘Inner Mongolian
People’s Party’ is not a global organization, but it is directly
targeting China’s Inner Mongolia, and in terms of achieving
national independence and unification, we have the common goal.
Our ‘World Mongolian Nationality United Movement’ must support
it.”
The
Movement said the enormous force of “Falun Gong” which could
overthrow the Chinese Communist Party is very helpful for the
“Three Mongolia” unification. Therefore, it must develop
friendly relationship with “Falun Gong” and seek supports from
them, and simultaneously stay in touch with the Dalai Lama to
have a broader united front.
November
2001, leader of the organization, Akim, and key member of the
“Inner Mongolian People’s Party”, Altanbat, held a small scale
meeting in Ulaanbaatar with separatists from Inner Mongolia to
collude to gain the support of “Falun Gong”.
XI.
“Mongol American Cultural Association”
This
Association is composed of two types of people: one type of
people are the Mongols who migrated from former Soviet Union
after the World War
II
to the United States. Having a population of 3,000, these
Mongols, also known as Kalmik Mongols, had lived in former
Soviet Union before sought refuge with the Germany occupation
army during the World War
II,
and later moved to the United States; the other type of people
are the Mongols in the United States with the population of
1,000 originally from Taiwan and Mongolia (Inner and Outer).
President:
Sanj Altan (New Jersey Congressman, USA, is a Kalmik Mongol);
Vice
president: Erdeni (brother of Sanj Altan);
Vice
president: Chengelt (his wife Yang Xiu Mei is a former actress
with Ih-juu League Chorus, and is sister of Tenger);
Secretary-general: Erdenbat;
This
association is the biggest behind-the-curtain supporter of the
“Inner Mongolian People’s Party”. The president Sanj Altan has
regularly submitted draft resolutions regarding the Chinese
government’s human rights violations to the United States
Congress and international human rights organization, insisting
on pan-Mongolism, advocating Inner Mongolian independence, and
using his position of the United States congressman to incite
the members of US Congress to make fusses over the Chinese human
rights issues. On behalf of the world Mongols, the Association
supported the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” activities and
gave financial assistance to it under the name of a US
non-governmental organization. The detailed work divisions are:
the Mongol American Cultural Association is responsible for
using human rights issues to attack China, expanding the
international influence, as well as providing financial
assistance to the “Inner Mongolian People’s Party”; the “Inner
Mongolian People’s Party” is responsible for propagating Inner
Mongolian independence and recruiting new members.
XII.
“World Mongolian Movement”
Key
leader:
Boldsaihan,
born in 1963, a cardiologist at Hospital No. 3 of Mongolia. An
MD, member of American Heart Association, official commissioner
of National Academy of Science, USA, current is head of “World
Mongolian Movement”.
Following
is an excerpt from Boldsaihan’s interview given on July 6, 2002,
regarding the initiative of “World Mongolian Movement”:
1. One
of the reasons initiating the “World Mongolian Movement” is that
the a study on “Cultural Collision”, conducted by the United
States Strategic Research Institute in 2000, suggested that by
2010 Mongolia will be annexed to China and there will be
uprisings there against China. Many evidences such as the
confidential documents of Chinese State Security Bureau,
historical secret dossiers, Deng Xiao Ping’s last suggestion,
and the book entitled “The Secret of Outer Mongolian
Independence” described how to materialize the above mentioned
prediction. This scheme has already started since a decade ago
and consisted of the following phases, namely: controlling the
Mongolian economic lifeline, making Mongolia China’s raw
material supply base, influencing and controlling the Mongolian
politics through economical and financial approach; denying its
national culture and dignity; spreading the ideology which
propagate that the Mongol nationality must be assimilated by the
Han Chinese; constituting and implementing a policy to wipe out
the Mongolian nomadic life-style, natural environment, and
production mode that are naturally and socially tested and
maintained for thousands of years; enacting land privatization
laws and using them to occupy the Mongolian lands; sending
large-scale of male immigrants and planting Han-Chinese descents
into the leading positions of Mongolian political institutions,
financial sectors, and military forces to seize and inherit
powers in order to corrupt the Mongolian blood. Currently their
plan is in progress. It is hard to say when (possibly by 2010 ?)
the plan will come to an end. The plan might be in the process.
Like this, they are trying to open up the chest of Mongolia and
cut down the artery. Like a sheep thanking the owner for letting
it to see the blue sky before the slaughter, should we wait for
death silently? We have neither the history of bending our knees
to the Chinese, nor the moral obligation to submit to them. Now,
it is possible for the Kalmiks, Inner Mongols, Buryats, Kokonoor
Mongols, and Hazara Mongols to unite with Mongolia to make
concerted efforts.
2. The
goal of “World Mongolian Movement” is to arouse our national
pride and dignity to let the Mongols recognize that our culture,
economy, and politics are facing a threat, and to work together
to seek a solution for saving the nation from the oppression of
the others to make it a really independent country.
3. In
terms of the contact method, fortunately we have the internet
which makes it easy to contact others across the globe. Our
views can be posted on thousands of websites, and currently we
are in regular contacts with the Mongolian citizens who work or
study in Africa, Europe, and other regions, and communicating
with the Mongols in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, Buryatia, and
Kalmykia via internet.
4. Speech
about the two neighboring countries of Mongolia:
The
president of “World Mongolian Movement” Boldsaihan says,
although Mongolia today is a small poor nation and China is a
large and rich country, people like Indians, Aztecs, Incas,
Huns, and Turks who have created the civilizations of American
and Asian continents, and the Mongols who created the great
civilization, great culture, great nationality, and great
country of the Mongols, will never disappear from human history.
In 2 century A.D. 551, and 1911—1938, our Mongol nation faced
serious crisis. However, it did not bend its knee to others,
instead like a spark starting a prairie fire, has miraculously
survived the disasters with its internal power and resolve. We
believe that 21 century will be the Mongolian century. There
will be an era in which the Mongols and the Mongol nation will
be free from oppression of any great power and enjoy the
independence and sovereignty.
He also
said, the development of Mongolia is not a simple matter. First
of all, it should be a complex issue of political, economical,
and cultural revitalization and social system. Currently, GDP of
Mongolia is still under 1 billion US dollars, and as we know,
even if there is a miracle making our GDP 20 billion US dollars,
it is still hard to eliminate the poverty of our small nation
within 50—100 years, making Mongolia continue to suffer from the
control and oppression of the two powerful neighbors. Under this
circumstance, almost no country has reached prosperity
throughout the world history. The only avenue to make Mongolia
equal to other nations and extricate it from the predicament is,
on one hand, to carefully analyze the condition, chance, and
risk of political investment to create a favorable environment
for the political investment; on the other hand, to bring a
quantitative change to the unified Mongolian culture, economy,
and politics to have a great leap on the ideology and national
sentiment of the Mongols. Israel, Japan, South Korea, Pakistan,
Taiwan, and European countries have successfully been developed
through this type of political investment. In the 20’s of 20th
century, Mongolia’s this type of investment reached 70% which
ultimately laid the foundation of modern Mongolia.
Today, it
is also not impossible for Mongolia to open up the new prospect
of political investment. But, first of all, we need to have a
detailed research on its risk and find a right timing to
understand its benefits; secondly, why can’t we fight for our
own cause? We should know that getting success or failure is our
own business. Except the Mongols, most of the nationalities such
as the Vietnamese and the Germans have already reached their
unifications. North and South Korea will be unified soon too. No
matter a nation, a nationality, or an individual, fate will not
forgive them, and oppression, occupation, and assimilation from
outsides will dominate them if they lose self-confidence.
Now,
Mongolian leaders have fallen deep into the small trap of
political self-interest, and have no time to think about the
nation and nationality. Therefore, we need a core leader who can
represent the national interest and mobilize the people. This
leader was already born and in fact has grown up. He is the
Prime Minister N. Enkhbayar. We hope he considers himself as not
only an individual or a Party leader, but also a leader of the
Mongol nationality who can consider problems at higher level and
in greater depth. In the future, there will be more such leaders
in Mongolia.
Certainly,
our two powerful neighbors do not and never did hope Mongolia
become a strong nation. But, Mongolia must not forget that
thousands of millions of Khalkha, Buryat, Kalmyk, and Inner
Mongols have shed their blood and laid down their life to gain
the independence of present-day Mongolia by reclaiming the lost
territory and people through political negotiations and
political investments. It is absolutely possible for Khalkha,
Buryat, Kalmyk, Inner Mongolia, Oirad, Kokonoor Mongolia, and
Hazara Mongolia to exploit their potentials to fight for
creating the unified greater Mongolia.
We have no
need to hide the idea of unifying the Mongol nationality,
because, for China, we are not claiming to cross over the Great
Wall to seize Beijing, and for Russia, we are not saying to pass
Ural Mountains to burn Moscow. We are just saying to unify the
Mongols on our own Mongol territories and protect the
independence and sovereignty of the Mongols. In fact, Russia
should support the “World Mongolian Movement” because it is not
harmful but beneficial to the national security and stability of
Russia. For example, Russia can do nothing but nail-biting to
the expanding Chinese influence in the Far East region.
Distinguished scholar Gumilov said, “The biggest contribution to
the world by the Mongols is that they have kept the Chinese
inside the Great Wall for hundreds of years.” Even today,
Mongolia can restrict and control the Chinese. We believe that
many countries will provide us with political investments, for
instance, the United States and Japan have the same view and
particularly the United States will not disagree to limit the
Chinese within the current state.
XIII.
“Pan-Mongolia Movement”
Key
members:
First
president was Norjimaa Togtokh, current member of “Ih-Hural”
(Congress); Second president was Mend Zena, late member of
“Ih-Hural” (Congress);
Current
president is Erdenbilig, from Erdendalai of Middle Gobi Aimag
(province), Mongolia, nonpartisan. On September 6, 2002, as an
independent, ran for the seat of deceased member Zena in the
Mongolian Ih-Hural (Congress) Central province, No. 36 District.
The
following is an excerpt of Erdenbilig’s interview on September
6, 2002, during the election:
(1) Why do
emphasize that nationality and national security is the most
important task for Mongolia today?
The reason
is: the Manchu had been wiped out within a very short period of
90 years because they were controlled by the Chinese. If we are
controlled by the Chinese, we will be facing the same fate of
the Manchu, and Mongol nationality and Mongol nation will be
assimilated and no longer existed. This is my point of
emphasizing the nationality and national security. The only way
to save the nation and the nationality from the crisis we face
today or to find a solution to the so-called ‘crisis of
transition’ named by news media is to promote patriotism,
particularly to arouse nationalism to make the Mongols proud of
their own nationality. Raising every individual’s sense of honor
and responsibility to the nation and educating them with real
history is extremely practical and beneficial for the future
development and prosperity of the generations to come. A
well-known person said that someone who does not know about the
history of his or her own nationality is just like a monkey in
the forest. In fact, today, the Mongols have a very similar
situation. Therefore, restoring the reality of national history,
particularly telling the undisguised history in which our
southern neighbor has many time threatened our Mongol
nationality and national security is the only way to protect our
independence and national security. Since a decade ago,
according to our research and statistics, nearly a hundred
Han-Chinese descendents have played with the Mongolian politics.
We must understand the seriousness of this problem, and purify
the Mongolian government of these Han-Chinese bloods. This is my
fighting goal for ten years. These years, I have explained this
problem to whoever I met. I am who I am and who holds this kind
of opinion. It is always true that the only way out of the
current situation is to promote the patriotism and nationalism
that I have always emphasized.
As early
as in April 1991, our comrades who worried about the fate of our
nation officially established the nationality unification
movement called “Mongolian Think Tank Center”. Key members of
the “Mongolian Think Tank Center” were: Historian Dr. Gunjiin
Suhbaatar, writer S. Gandan (deceased), former general director
Ulaanbaatar Police Department, Dr. A. Tseren-nadmid. During
these years, I have worked for many non-governmental
organizations whose main goal is to remind and warn the Mongols
that large number of Chinese descendents have sneaked into our
government and engaged in activities of damaging the security of
our nation and our people since Mongolia became democratic
nation no matter which Party came into power.
(2) The
reason why I don’t feel lonely when I run for the election as an
independent:
Currently
the overwhelming majority of the Ih-Hural (Congress) members are
People’s Revolutionary Party members. Don’t you feel lonely when
you run for election as an independent?
When I was
vice president of the “Mongolian Think Tank Center” during
1990—1991, I have attended the Second People’s Congress as an
observer in 1990. At that time, the number of the Congress
members was 430, and among them, the Traditional Nationality
Party member and the famous poet Ochirbatiin Dashbalbar fought
alone, but he never felt lonely. During my decade-long fight, I
have made many good friends in various Parties. I have also many
friends who support my ideas in the current Congress. Therefore,
I never feel alone. During a decade, I personally have had
dissenting opinions on many laws approved by the Ih-Hural
(Congress), for example, during the enforcement of our current
“Civil Law”. Some cases were not handled in conformity with
legal provisions, considering somebody as Khalkha or Buryat
Mongols even though they clearly know that their mother or
father is Chinese. If I am elected, I will propose a bill and
get it approved by the Ih-Hural (Congress) to completely
eliminate this kind of phenomena in accordance with the law. It
is evident that a powerful force of Chinese descendents in
Mongolia is threatening our national security. The Office of
Overseas Chinese, a special organ managed by the Chinese Foreign
Ministry has always kept very close relationships with the
Chinese abroad. Not only in Mongolia, but also in other
countries, this organ always implements the Chinese national
policy of using the Chinese in abroad. I believe the Chinese
government’s [assimilation] policy is being systematically
implemented in Mongolia through this organ. For the details on
this issue, please read the magazine edited and published from
1980 through 1990 by N. Osk of former Soviet Union. My election
program is already published on the “Buuts” newspaper and
distributed 5,000 copies. I hope our voters will read its every
sentence carefully, and hope the Mongolian parents will educate
their kids to build up a strong sense of patriotism and
nationalism. This only can guarantee and protect the future of
our Mongolian nationality.
(3) Main
ideas of the election program and its partial contents:
Erdenbilig
states in his election program that if it is necessary, make an
amendment to the Constitution to fight for a strong presidential
system; urge every citizen and every official to try their best
to do their jobs to restore the law and order of the society; in
accordance with the fact that there are endless religious
conflicts in the world because of the religious difference, we
should fight for banning the religions except Buddhism from
engaging the missionary works; lay emphasis on establishing
industries and infrastructures, improve the citizen’s living
standard, and tirelessly fight for creating jobs for the
unemployed; fully support to boost small businesses whose
earnings account for the largest portion of our national income;
abolish the modus operandi which makes the people unemployed,
and stoutly fight for the interest of senior citizens; stop the
recent years illegal activities of vilifying others and
attacking their reputations under the name of democracy and free
speech, and fight for improving the law enforcement and handling
cases in conformity with legal provision; ban the spreading of
horror and porno videos and movies that will pollute the eyes of
the public; considering the fact that many criminals refuse to
mend their ways despite of repeated admonitions, add the
Mongolian traditional punishments for the criminals such as
wooden sandal as new provisions to the Criminal Law; legally ban
using the naive nature of the kids to have big parties for
children’s graduate ceremony to extravagantly wine and dine, and
consider this as a criminal activity which is not only harmful
to children’s health but also an economical burden for majority
of poor families.
