who is moving to mongolia? we have half of mongolia already, the better half, and no one wants to live there, not even the mongols. there's more mongols in china than there are in mongolia, who the hell is moving to mongolia?
who told you we don't like mongols? chinese mongols are more important than mongols in mongolia. they're completely assimilated and nothing distinguishes mongols (in china) and han except a mark on the identity card. mongols in mongolia are stuck in 1400. mongols in mongolia resent us simply because the mongol on our side of the border is much richer than the same mongol on their side.
Well, well - I thought I was rude. What did you have for breakfast, freezing? Hysteria rarely buttresses one's argument. MasterKhan was not too far off the mark I am afraid on certain historical broad strokes - except I agree that he erred gravely in reckoning that China considers Mongolia as a place for "immigration".
This is a rather common pitfall for individuals who enjoy maps (a vice I also share). A worldly "humanist" could just glance at the vast expanse of Russian Siberia and Canadian North and wax emotional: wouldn't it be nice if all that rich soil can be accessible to the world's teeming, under-nourished mass?
One, just one winter in Canada will cure all that well-intentioned or mal-intentioned "romanticism" ... unless global warming does what it promises to do ...
Anyhow, it is unfortunate that Outer Mongolia, being a traditionally pastoral society, is in fact
having trouble sustaining its own paltry population of 2 or 3 million if I am not mistaken.
However, it's also open secret that the PRC covets the mineral resources Outer Mongolia is endowed with ... a spade is a spade.
Most people know that Mongols in China are the second most well-integrated minority groups - next to the Manchus. In fact they are so integrated that they are "assimilated" as you say. This may or may not be the best thing since sliced bread ...
Anyhow, even with their degree of integration, it is not unusual for Manchu (in particular) and Mongol descended Chinese to feel a certain "Martial Race" badge of distinction over the vanilla Hans - to borrow a British Indian construct that still holds a surprising, although (I suspect) declining significance in today's South Asia.
This is mixed up with Outer Mongolia's post-Soviet "orphan" status and a relative, but staggering economic/political/military decline vis-a-vis its neighbours ...
Lest we forget, these puny Mongols ruled the Rus 400 years!
What gave rise to this ridiculous "Nazi fad" is not a quiet, confident "superiority complex", but a mixed "inferiority/superiority complex".
I agree with MasterKhan that history is fascinating. But when you combine history with psychology, you gain a far more potent understanding on why things are the way they are.
