Reply to this commentI like your reference to the city of Ulaanhad. It's a good Mongolian name and it's the original place name. But it's now normally known in English by its Chinese name of Chifeng. I think it's great that the Mongolian name is mentioned, but to avoid any appearance of pandering to fringe elements or nationalists, it would be better to at least mention the Chinese name. No one looking at a map of Inner Mongolia in Western countries will ever find Ulaanhad.

This is what autonomy within China looks like. Mongolians are supposed to be autonomous, yet their lands are controlled by Han Chinese and Mongolians are treated as 2nd class citizens.
