Do the mongols and Chinese people hate each other?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A lot of Mongolians hate China because the Han Chinese used to be Mongolia's slaves, and now the bigger, southern half of Mongolia (Inner Mongolia) is ruled by China. Mongolians don't like that Chinese are making Mongolian money and marrying Mongolian women.

The hatred is more intense in independent Outer Mongolia because of the nationalistic media and poor economic situation; Inner Mongolians on the other hand enjoy more prosperous lives are subjected to Chinese media viewpoints, which is that the Mongolians are one of China's 56 happy ethnic groups. Also Inner Mongolians actually know Han Chinese people on a personal level so it is harder for them to categorize and hate.

Many Chinese think Outer Mongolians are barbaric; a combination of age-old nomadic stereotypes as well as recent neo-Nazi attacks on Han Chinese there.

As for Inner Mongolians, most Chinese simply consider them to be other Chinese, albeit a bit more exotic. Many Inner Mongolians are so assimilated to Chinese culture that they're basically Han Chinese anyway.
