China 'Will End' Mongolian-Language Education Starting This Semester

"The fate of Mongolian language education seems to be sealed," an ethnic Mongolian teacher said in an audio statement quoted by SMHRIC. "This not only is unconstitutional but also is a flagrant violation of the basic human rights of the Mongolian people from a universal human rights perspective," the teacher said, adding that they had been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements before leaving.

"All teachers were warned not to raise any questions or opinions of opposition," it quoted a second teacher as saying via WeChat.

Government censors have also shut down a popular Mongolian-language social media platform and censored comments on the policy on WeChat, the report said.

“Southern [Inner] Mongolia has quickly become a police state again in the past few days as the tension has risen between the government and the Mongolians who are about to be deprived of their last symbol of national identity—the Mongolian language," ethnic Mongolian blogger Nasandelger posted to the social media platform WeChat.
