    China is committing crimes and abuses in Canada , Hong Kong, Tibet the   
   Uiyghur region and Inner Mongolia and India. Of course the Liberal party   
   doesn't want anyone to talk about that. Trudeau is a lightweight and sunny   
   ways fool.

   Protesters hold banners and wave the Mongolian flag in Ulaanbaataar, capital   
   of Mongolia, to oppose Chinese policies in Inner Mongolia, Oct. 1, 2020.   
   AFP   
   Chinese authorities in the northern region of Inner Mongolia have detained at   
   least 8,000 ethnic Mongolians amid regionwide resistance to plans to phase out   
   the use of the Mongolian language in schools.   
      
   "An estimated 8,000–10,000 [ethnic] Mongolians have been placed under some   
   form of police custody since late August," the New York-based Southern   
   Mongolia Human Rights Information Center (SMHRIC) said in a statement on its   
   website.   
      
   The ruling Chinese Communist Party has carried out mass arrests, arbitrary   
   detentions, forced disappearances, house arrests, and "intensive training"   
   across the region, which borders the independent country of Mongolia, after   
   parents and students    
   organized a region-wide class boycott and took to the streets in protest at   
   changes to the curriculum, sources in the region and overseas rights activists   
   have said.   
      
   Khubis, an ethnic Mongolian activist living in Japan, told RFA that rights   
   lawyer Hu Baolong and activist Yang Jindulima remain in custody.   
      
   He said some detainees have refused officially appointed lawyers, in the hope   
   of appointing a defense attorney of their own.   
      
   Hu was detained by police in his home city of Tongliao along with at least   
   eight others on suspicion of "picking quarrels and stirring up trouble," a   
   charge often used to target peaceful critics of the ruling Chinese Communist   
   Party.   
      
   U.S.-based ethnic Mongolian Nomin, a former colleague of Hu's, said she had   
   been unable to get in touch directly with anyone connected with Hu or Yang.   
      
   Yang hails from Abag Banner in Shilingol League, which borders Mongolia.   
      
   "I talked to Yang [before the protests], and she told me she wouldn't be   
   taking part because she had just gotten married," Nomin said. "She had opened   
   a restaurant in Xilinhot, but the police still had her under constant   
   surveillance."   
      
   "A couple of police officers would just go and sit in her restaurant every day   
   without saying anything," she said.   
      
   The authorities have also fired ethnic Mongolian parents, blacklisted and   
   expelled their children, confiscated assets, and denied bank loans to   
   protesting parents, SMHRIC said.   
      
   Local governments, party committees, Communist Youth Leagues, state   
   prosecutors, and courts have issued wanted notices across the region for   
   anyone engaging in protest activity, it said.   
      
   "The Chinese regime has really shown its weakness, ineffectiveness, and   
   arbitrariness before this massive nonviolent civil disobedience," group   
   director Enghebatu Togochog said.   
      
   "It is laughable that five different authorities including the court and   
   procuratorates, who really have no business in this matter, piled up their   
   rubber stamps on a single document to intimidate Mongolians," he said.   
      
   Prominent dissidents detained   
      
   Among the thousands placed in some form of detention are prominent ethnic   
   Mongolian dissidents and their families, rights activists, writers, lawyers,   
   and leaders of traditional herding communities.   
      
   Ethnic Mongolian dissident writer Hada, who remains under house arrest   
   following a 15-year jail term for "espionage" and "separatism," is now   
   completely incommunicado, while the whereabouts of his activist wife Xinna and   
   the couple's grown son Uiles are    
   currently unknown, SMHRIC said.   
      
   Dissident writer Lhamjab Borjigin, author of China’s Cultural Revolution,   
   and dissident writer Sechenbaater are also incommunicado and under house   
   arrest, it said.   
      
   In Shuluun-tsagaan Banner, a county-like administrative division, writer and   
   poet Nasanulzei Hangin is under criminal detention after rallying 500   
   Mongolians in a protest against the new language policy in schools.   
      
   In Ordos, musician Ashidaa is under criminal detention for taking part in   
   protests, and has been denied visits from family members, while rights   
   attorney Huhbulag remains in detention without charge, SMHRIC said.   
      
   Herding community leaders Yanjindulam, Bao Guuniang, Manliang, Yingeer,   
   Urgumal, Davharbayar, and Zhao Baahuu remain incommunicado, whereabouts   
   unknown, it said.   
      
   The group said it was concerned about the growing number of references to   
   "intensive training" in official documents during the crackdown, indicating   
   that a "re-education" program is already under way across the region.   
      
   It cited a Sept. 14 official document as saying that "parents and guardians   
   who fail to send their children back to school on time will be given legal   
   education training."
