Groups back Inner Mongolia protestBy Huang Hsin-po and Jason Pan / Staff reportersAboriginal groups yesterday voiced support for the people of Inner Mongolia, saying that China is to blame for protests because it is suppressing Mongolian language and culture in the region. “The fastest way to wipe out an ethnic group is to cut them off from their mother tongue,” she said. “It forced them to identify as Han Chinese ... so I can understand what the people of Inner Mongolia are going through right now,” he said. “We want to raise awareness of this issue and to protest against this shameful policy of the Chinese regime,” he said. “As a proud father of a three-year-old daughter, I want her to speak our mother tongue freely at kindergarten,” Lim said.
