Chinese authorities have tightened security across the province of Inner Mongolia after days of unrest, rights groups and residents say.

Hundreds of riot police armed with batons have been posted at the main square in provincial capital Hohhot.

Access to the internet has been blocked in some areas, and universities and schools are under close watch.

The unrest erupted last week after two ethnic Mongolians were killed in separate incidents.

The demonstrations are thought to be the region's largest in 20 years, involving hundreds of ethnic Mongolians.

The New York-based Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Centre said more demonstrations had been planned for Monday.

The centre described the situation in many parts of Inner Mongolia as martial law.

Residents of the city of Chifeng told the Associated Press that police were out in force, and the internet had been cut off.

"There's no point in going to the internet cafes since they have suspended business because the internet is down there too," said a waitress at a Chifeng restaurant.

A university worker in Hohhot told Reuters that three entrances to the institution had been sealed off by police.

Should not have happened.

Why should a car accident stoke such a huge issue that it has to be handled by Senior Communist leaders from Beijing? Or have a whole lot of riot police out and so on.

It should be a police case.

From the BBC link given:

But he says the authorities are also trying to ease the anger of the ethnic Mongolians by sending senior Communist Party officials to the city of Xilinhot, where the trouble started.

Ethnic Mongolians were infuriated by the death of a farmer on 10 May. He was trying to protect his land when he was run down and killed, apparently by an ethnically Han Chinese driver.

Cant differ ethnically a Han or a Mongolian

One cannot also differentiate a Chinese from a Korean or a Japanese.

To most non Indians, Nathu Singh and Prem Singh both are the same thing!

Seems like a buildup of issues. All these people coming out on the streets to protest over one death would be quite the over reaction otherwise.

Time to send in the Chengguans.
That's what you get when you have minority groups within a country. It will soon pass as they are only a minority making a fuss over trivial matter.
Just trial and jail the guy involved and get it over with.

It is their traditional dress.

See the facial features!

One should have an analytical approach and not be merely a gazer without applying the God given mind!

Tell us something new

That is the routine!

Of course the minorities are a disgrace to the Han cultural arrogance. Like the Muslims of Xinjiang, the Tibetans, and the 53 others.

Silly chaps not be get assimilated and be proud to call themselves Hans!!

Typical India attitude. Indians might think minorities are an disgrace but never Chinese :disagree:
It explains why the poor Muslim brothers and sisters in India and the innocent Kashmeries under India influence have to go through for all these years. I guess going by your logic, that would be classed as 'India's Hindu Arrogance' ;)

This thread is almost like suggesting that we should all go out and start a riot whenever we see death caused by a different race. Genius. :lol:

CHINA: Inner Mongolia for Inner Mongolians

Monday, Oct. 23, 1933

Between Manchukuo and Outer Mongolia (Russian sphere of influence) lies the vast Inner Mongolian plateau, a flat wilderness of grass ruled by hairy, fur-clad Mongol princes under the nominal overlordship of China's Nanking Government. Last month from every corner of Chahar and Suiyuan Provinces the princes of Mongolia left their herds of horses, camels and sheep to ride toward the great Lama Temple at Bathahalak, 100 mi. north of Kweihwa. In a little valley they found it, an exquisite cluster of white Manchu buildings, gold-crested pinnacles, infested by bearded monks. They set up their fur yurts (tents) on the plain, capped themselves with full-dress peacock plumes and crowded into the council chamber. There under a portrait of the Panchen Lama sat Prince Teh Wang who for months has been trying to found a Pan-Mongolian self-rule movement. Despite their traditional suspicions of one another, Prince Teh Wang last week herded the princes into agreement. Between pinches of snuff they drew up a Confederation of Inner Mongolian States, haggled out its bylaws. Then they sent word to Nanking that they wanted to rule Inner Mongolia themselves. If Nanking tries to stop them, they threatened, they "will not hesitate to seek assistance" from Japan's puppet state of Manchukuo—will quit China and throw in with Japan. That would suit Japan beautifully. Inner Mongolia is the great stockyards that made Manchukuo worth grabbing.

CHINA: Inner Mongolia for Inner Mongolians - TIME

Independent minded chaps.

They want to rule their land themselves, it appears.

But bad luck.......the area has been Hanised and they are only 20% of the population!

A minority in their own land!!

Non Kashmirs are not allowed to settle in Kashmir.

The 'minority' remains the 'majority'!

And in China?

Change the demography and make the majority of an area into a minority!!

What hypocrisy!

And the temerity to spread psychobabble!
