SIM City. Nice, the game was once popular here too. I still remember giving a kiss would score extra points.

I also love fabulous cities. But when Inner Mongolia is concerned a word pops up - sustainability !

To sustain cities on gobi, deserts, or oasis with fantastic gardens requires lots of, lots of water. Inner Mongolia, unlike the south where water is abundant, is quite short of water. Thus mega cities, with growing population, look like white elephants sometimes, and environmentally detrimental.

Yellow River gang dry from time to time, in part becoz water is over distributed at the upper streams. Frustrating isn't it? unless Yarlung Zangbo River can be diverted partly to the northwest.

Besides, Inner Mongolia (Wuhai or Ordos) is prospering on mining, often resulting in pollution. IMo many of those mining corps / investors (incl. southerners) are like migrant birds. The nouveau riche ain't gonna settle there once they harvest big $$$ and mines go exhausted... So those wonderful cities are likely to end up "half" empty.

Correct me if over cynical.
Wuhai in the construction of water conservancy projects,118square kilometers of reservoir formation,

Wuhai groundwater is very rich, have northwest rare Ordovician River, Wuhai's industrial and domestic water use of groundwater, rather than the Yellow River, so the surrounding city such as Alashan Erdos and many industrial zone also gathered around Wuhai, causing pollution. Industrial water needs, while the Erdos and Alashan is very dry.

Wuhai and Ningxia are also looking forward to the South-to-North Water Transfer Project of the Yellow River water is increased, so the sustainable development of Wuhai

Yes, is not only the population of dilution, more serious is the cultural erosion, so that many ethnic regions lose color

I am the Han people, my parents are from Chongqing, the local Han and Mongol relationship is harmonious, many of my good friend 's wife is mongolian,

Because minority preferential policies, Han and Mongolia marriage produced offspring, census register to be certified as the mongols,

The Mongols are a very peaceful nation now, compared in terms of Uighur and tibetan,。
and compared to chengez khan too

But before the Wuhai more like a pure han people city, when I was a child I never felt in Inner Mongolia, rarely encountered the mongols,

But now the government for the development of the tourism industry, Mongolia culture can be used as capital and advantages, vigorously increase Mongolia culture elements, so the city more and more the taste of Mongolia

Your attention to the top of the hill that building? It was ready to build the Cheng Jisihan sculpture, but was Erdos opposition, only to be transformed into a calligrapher Wang Xizhi 's Avatar, to economy local government competed with each other for the various assets, including cultural assets

Inner Mongolia, as a part of the Great Mongol Empire, had never been part of China. From the day Genghis khan founded the Great Mongol Empire in 1206 to the death of the last Grand Khan of the Mongols, Ligdan Khan in 1634, the Mongol nation had been an independent state for more than 400 years.

During the Ming Dynasty of China (1368-1644), the Mongols and the Chinese wared each other and tried to rule over each other, but the China's dominance had never reached beyond the Great Wall. Once the Mongols even captured an Emperor of China. (In 1449, Esen Taiji defeated Chinese army near Peking and took Chinese emperor Ying-tsung (or Ying Zong) prisoner). Also during the Ming dynasty, Fearing from the Mongol's invasion, China took great efforts to rebuild the Chinese ancient fortification ---the " Ten thousand miles of " Great Wall. The Mongol Empire lasted outside of the Great Wall until the Jorchid (later known as Manchu) people took over the entire Inner Mongolia in 1634.

During the Manchu rule, the Mongols had never given up their effort to reestablish an independent Mongolia. Galdan Boshogtu (1645-1697) of Dzungar Mongol once succeeded to unite all the Dzungar Mongols (or western Mongols) and the Khalkha Mongols (Outer Mongols) and almost seized Peking, the Capital of the Manchu Empire.

In 1644, Manchu people took over entire China and Emperor Shuen-chih (or Shun-Zhi) proclaimed the Great Ching Empire (Tai Ching). We have enough reason to say that Mongolia was not part of China during this historical period of time, because Mongolia (Including Inner, Outer, Dzungar Mongols) and China were both ruled by a foreign nation during the time . Chinese people didn't have their own state or government, and China, just like Mongolia, was part of the Empire established by the Manchu people.

In 1911, following the collapse of the Manchu Empire, there was a great chance for all the Mongols to reestablish a independent state once again. However, the Chinese warlords, took the advantage of the Mongol nation's weakness at that time, tried to take the Mongols under their rule. After 10 years of strive, Outer Mongolia (or Khalkha Mongol) proclaimed their independence in 1921 as People's Republic of Mongolia. But Inner Mongolia, a major part of the Mongol land, was under the Chinese warlords' tight control and hundreds of years of dream as an independent nation was unable to come true for millions of Mongols living in Inner Mongolia. It is injustice and outrageous that the Chinese, as soon as they gained their freedom, turned to rule over other nation.

Since China's takeover of Inner Mongolia, millions of peasants were settled to Inner Mongolia. Excessive cultivation backed by the warlords turned the great grassland into vast desert. The Mongols, totally depended on the grassland to survive, were forced to abandon their homeland and move to remote places. Meanwhile, those people who held courage to fight for the freedom of their homeland eventually fell down under the guns of the invaders and buried into their beloved land. (Gada Meiren, "Shineh Lama "--- Uljijirgal and Togtokh Baator were the most famous heroes among them).

Prince Demchegdongrov (or De Wang, Teh Wang), however, almost succeeded in establishing an independent Inner Mongolia. Born as a direct descendent of Genghis Khan, he dedicated his whole life to establish a self-ruling, even an independent Inner Mongolia. On July 26, 1933, De Wang held his first Conference on Inner Mongolian Self-rule, declared the Inner Mongolian government as a highly self-ruling government. This self -ruling government lasted until 1945. By the end of the WWII, to force the Japanese to end the War, Soviet-Mongolian joint army entered into Inner Mongolia. Despite the Inner Mongolians expressed strong will to be an independent country, or even willing to reunite with Mongolia (Outer Mongolia), Joseph Stalin handed Inner Mongolia over to China, according to the Yalta treaty reached by the US, Great Britan and the Soviet Union.

On May 1, 1947, the Chinese Communist Party declared their first puppet Autonomous Region--- the current Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region after the PLA took control over most part of the Inner Mongolia. Since then, the Inner Mongolians suffered the most brutal rule they had ever experienced:

Over 250,000 Mongols were killed and executed (It was almost 10% of the population at the time) and almost all of the thousands of Mongolian Buddhist temples were destroyed during the waves of political movements;
The central government has settled large number of Chinese people into Inner Mongolia and the Mongols have became absolute minority in their homeland;
Wanton agrarian practices by the Chinese settlers have caused severe desertification in Inner Mongolia and the region's ecological balance was totally destroyed;
The central government has emptied the abundant natural resources of Inner Mongolia without any compensation to the Mongols;
The Chinese government has totally destroyed the rich cultural heritages of the Mongols under the name of clearing feudalism;
As a long-term policy of sinicization, the Chinese government has been forcing the Mongols to learn Chinese language and Chinese culture;
Also as a policy of limiting the Mongol population, the Chinese government has been imposing birth control policy to the Mongols;
In fearing of the Mongols' opposition to their rule, Chinese government has been cracking down on any tiny signs of the "separatist" activities. They put thousands of Mongols into jail simply charging them of being "counterrevolutionaries" or " separatists", a crime exclusively designed for the minorities;
Under the Chinese government's slogan of " Political stability is the top priority", Inner Mongolia has become the most backward region in China;
It is very clear that Inner Mongolia was never part of China and, in fact, China never fairly treated the Inner Mongolians as a part of their own people.

Indians should thank the British for creating the modern India, which would have otherwise be a loose collection of small states each of which has its own language。India should go back to the precolonial days。:rofl:
I was enjoying the nice pics but here you came trolling from nowhere.

See the ORIGINAL CHINA in brown below before you talk the same "British created India" stuff:-

China should go back to the brown marked area again.

This is obvious one side propaganda. Did you copy past from Mongo separatist website? Inner Mongolia is surely not the most backward part of China.

The Great Wall was built on the southern border of inner Mongolia. That itself is an evidence that the region was never part of China and in fact the Chinis were shit scared of the mongols. Times have changed the the roles reversed.

Many parts of Russia don't belong to Russia 200 years ago, so does US, so do many other countries. What's your point? Should they all move back to where they were coming from, why just China? You are a businessman traveled to China frequently. What makes you hate China so particularly? Did Chinese people not treat you nicely , or China's development makes you uncomfortable?

Expansionist agenda that too post WWII while all other colonies got independence. Tibet stands out.

I dont frequently travel to China. I go to Taiwan. I have been to China only once. I am not uncomfortable with Chinas development. I am with its expansionist agenda.
