This document discusses the mass exodus of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar and China's involvement in the situation. The Chinese ambassador is reported to have told high-level officials that the operation should be treated as an internal affair, which aligns with China's historical principle of non-interference across international boundaries. However, there is more complexity to China's position due to their political interests in ASEAN and Myanmar's critical geographic location for China's economic concerns.

The People’s Republic China is trying to make Mongolia a client or puppet state by integrating it with the PRC through a “voluntary” referendum, just as Russia did with Crimea in 2014.

As China conducts an asymmetrical war to achieve Mongolian assimilation, the world's attention is focused on its South China Sea claims. Preserving Mongolian sovereignty demands a global awareness campaign to counter the PRC’s revisionist historical justification for claiming Mongolia and control all aspects of Mongolia's economy, resources, politics, and culture. Without a counter-campaign, Mongolia will be assimilated and Sinicized like Inner Mongolia and Manchuria in a decade.
