           ... Southern Mongolia has been an independent nation up until 1949 when the People's Republic of China forcefully incorporate Southern Mongolia into it. The situation of Southern Mongolia is pretty much the same with that of Tibet and East Turkistan. During the past six decades, Southern Mongolia has experienced its darkest era ever in its history: the Chinese government has carried out a series of state-sponsored massacres, heavy-handed political repression, large scale population transfer, forced cultural assimilation and near total destruction of the natural environment of Southern Mongolia. As a result of large scale Chinese population transfer, today the Mongols constitute only 18% of the total population in the region. They have become an absolute minority in their own lands; the natural grasslands where the Mongols maintained their nomadic way of life for thousands of years have been destroyed   ....

           ... Exactly a century ago, our forefathers relied on the power of all Mongols in restoring national freedom and independence. Mongols from fragmented parts were welcomed and gathered together. This is how our territorial integrity, brotherhood and family reunion were maintained to this day. As citizens of the Mongol nation, no matter whether you are from Khalkha, or Durbed or Kazak or Uriyanhai or Zagchin or Buriyat, we are all Mongolians. We are all Mongolian people.

As President of the Mongol nation, I would like  ...

           ... China's curbs on exports of rare earths, which are essential for manufacturing high-tech products, are being felt more and more by Japanese manufacturers. China has a near monopoly in the global production of rare earths, and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China produces most of the country's rare earths. One city in the region, Baotou, which has a population of about 2.7 million, calls itself "a city of rare earths." The city hosts 75 related companies, including China's biggest rare earth-producing firm, Baotou Iron & Steel (Group) Co. Numerous luxury cars and skyscrapers can be seen in the city, which at night is bathed in light from neon signs. The autonomous region is home to Bayan Obo mine, the world's largest rare earth mine. The area was once known as a production center of such rare earths as neodymium, which is essential for the manufacture of small magnets for motors  ...
