Mongolians Strike in bid to Prevent Beijing from Eradicating Their Mother Tongue in Schools


On the first day of the new school term on 1 September 2020, approximately 300,000 Mongolian students held a strike against the action by the Chinese government to replace the Mongolian language with Mandarin as the language of instruction in the schools of Inner Mongolia.

The Chinese police have offered 1000 RMB as a reward to people who make reports against those who went on the strike.

According to the news, the parents of at least two Mongolian students have protested against the authorities for forcing their children to return to school. They were a teacher and her husband. More Mongolians joined the movement in defending their mother tongue.

Employees of Inner Mongolia Radio and Television (IMRTS) have jointly petitioned and threatened to resign collectively if anyone of them were to be laid off with their participation in the strike being the reason.

It has already been three days since the start of the strike, and the government has not budged. However, the strikes and demonstrations have been forecasted to continue.
