We are a group of people who gathered under the IMPP constitution devoting ourselves to achieve the goal which is defined in the Constitution.
According to the IMPP Constitution , our ultimate goal is to establish an independent state of Inner Mongolia ;
The immediate task of the IMPP is to bring freedom and democracy to Inner Mongolia. Whether the 2 states of the Mongols will be able to reunite is beyond the party's current agenda.
March 23, 1997 in Princeton, New Jersey, USA.
Mr. Temtsiltu is the present Chairman of the IMPP.
During the cultural revolution (1966-1976), the Chinese government claimed that there was a counter-party (Chinese Communist Party), counter-revolutionary, counter-socialism party called " Inner Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party" (IMPRP, " Ovor Mongoliin Ardiin Khuvsgalt Nam" or "Ovor Ardiin Nam" ) in Inner Mongolia. The Chinese government used this non-existent party as a pretext and under the name of " dig-out" the IMPRP, launched a campaign of genocide against the Mongols in Inner Mongolia. The genocide campaign carried out by the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army touched every Mongol's soul and body and resulted in unnatural death of more than 250,000 Mongols in Inner Mongolia (at the time, the Mongol population in Inner Mongolia was only about 1.5 million) .
The establishment of the party and naming the party as the "Inner Mongolian People's Party" is to show the Chinese government, as well as to our Mongol brothers and sisters that we, the post-IMPRP generation of the Inner Mongols, are taking the historical responsibility of telling the world the truth about the IMPRP and also to show our determination to fight for the freedom of our own land.
The blue background of the IMPP flag stands for the "Eternal Blue Heaven ( Monkh Khokh Tengger)" in which the Mongols believe in , the red colored image stands for "fire" , the golden colored image stands for the sun and the white colored image stands for moon. The Mongols believe that the spirit of the "Monkh khokh Tengger" ("eternal blue heaven") is among the objects everywhere in the universe, especially in the fire, the sun and the moon. The red fire, the golden sun and the white moon also symbolize courage, truth and purity.
You also can find the sun, moon, and fire emblem and the blue background from the national flag of Mongolia.

There were 3.6 million Mongols in Inner Mongolia according to 1992 census. In addition to this, there are more than half million Mongols living in other regions of China. Most of them are living in Eastern Turkistan (Xin Jiang) , Khokhnuur ( Qing Hai), Kharamuren ( Hei Long Jiang ), Kirin ( Ji Lin ), Liao Ning, and Bei Jing . The total population of Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region (IMAR) is about 20 million.
Inner Mongolia covers the area of over 1.28 million square km or 0.49 million square mile lands. It is the 1/8 of the total China’s land.

At the end of the W.W.II, Soviet-Mongolian joint army entered Inner Mongolia, in order to expel the Japanese army. After the war, despite the all 51 banners(county) of Inner Mongolia expressed their will to be independent, Joseph Stalin handed Inner Mongolia over to China according to the Yalta treaty. A few large cities remained in the control of Kuomintang (KMT) and the vast rural area of Inner Mongolia fell into Mao’s Communist army after the Soviet-Mongolian army’s withdrawal from Inner Mongolia. On May 01, 1947, the Chinese government declared the establishment of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, after the PLA took control of the entire Inner Mongolia.
Over 250,000 Mongols very executed or killed and over half million were maimed or injured.
Over 2,000 Buddhist temples, which were the priceless treasure of the Mongols' religious and cultural heritage, have been destroyed during the past 52 years.
About all over 20,000 Lamas were forced to resume their secular life and many of them were killed or maimed just because they were Lamas.
Over 15 million Chinese, most of them were peasants, were settled by the Chinese government in Inner Mongolia. Occupying the Inner Mongolia permanently is the Chinese ultimate policy toward Inner Mongolia.
Yes. If any Mongol family dare to conceive more than 1 child , the mother would be forced to abort the baby no matter how many months the mother has conceived it, and the mother would be forced to take the sterilization surgery. If a family were lucky enough to have borne a child without discovered by the authorities, the family would face a heavy fine and even the authorities would confiscate all the property of the family, including the livestock.
No. During the past 50 years, as a result of millions of Chinese farmers’ excessive cultivation on the sensitive soil of Inner Mongolia, one of the world’s most beautiful grassland is turning into deserts. Also as the results of the Chinese government’s plundering on the rich natural resources such as the pine forests and the coal mines and building the backward high-pollution plants in Inner Mongolia severely counterbalanced the ecosystem of Inner Mongolia. People who have visited Mongolia are all fascinated by the blue sky, pure air and the wonderful nature of Mongolia. The same sky, air and nature people had experienced in Inner Mongolia 50 years ago is now totally destroyed by the Chinese.
No. Afraid of their children not getting higher education, the Mongol parents have been forced to send their children to the Chinese schools instead of the Mongol schools. The only reason is that the Chinese government doesn't allow the Mongols to set up colleges and universities to teach in their own language. The Mongol culture and customs were totally banned during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and it is very hard for the Mongols to restore and develop their culture and traditional customs under the Chinese government’s assimilation policies.
No. All of more than 2000 Buddhist temples were destroyed to the ground and all over 20,000 Lamas (Buddhist monks) were forced to resume the secular life during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). There are a few (less than 50) temples to show the Chinese government’s "freedom of religion" policy and also earn some hard money by attracting tourists.
No. Inner Mongolia is the one of the richest region in terms of natural resources in China. It’s deposits of coal, gold, iron, copper, gas, oil, uranium, and rare-earth metals and forest deposit are all among the richest in China. But the Chinese government has been exploiting those rich natural resources without any compensation to the Mongols for 50 years and the living standard of the Mongols is one of the worst in China
The Inner Mongols (or Inner Mongolians) speak the Mongol Language
and the Mongol language belongs to the Linguistic Family of Altai.

For many centuries, the Mongols (both Inner and Outer) have been
using the classic Mongol script (sometimes called Uighur Mongol script). In 1940’s,
Mongolia (Outer) adopted the Cyrillic script and have been using until today (since then,
people have been using the term ’classic Mongol script’, in order to
discriminate it from the Cyrillic scrip). The Mongolian government decided to resume the
Classic Mongol script in early 90’s, but it seems to have resistance from the people
who get used to the Cyrillic script. Children are taught both classic and Cyrillic script
in schools.
In Inner Mongolia, the Mongols still keep using the classic script.

Yes. But it is hard to find such a dictionary outside of Inner Mongolia.
Yes. However, the Chinese government is controlling all the schools, colleges and universities and it doesn't give the Mongols many options in higher education (there are only departments such as Mongolian language, History and Geographic in the Mongol language, and the Mongol students have no chance to learn the courses of natural science, engineering and management in their own language). Mongol children have to go to the Chinese schools in order to get better education. This is the Chinese policy to assimilate the Mongols.
Yellow sect of the Lamaism, or called Tibetan Buddhism, a branch of Buddhism that is the same religion exercised in Tibet.
The religion of the Mongols were totally banned by the Chinese government and all the Buddhist temples were destroyed, all Lamas (monks of the Mongols) were forced to resume the secular life.
There is still no chance for the Mongols to exercise their religion freely. The Chinese government restored a few temples to show its "freedom of religion" policy.
Although both the religion of the Mongols and Chinese belong to Buddhism, there are great differences between those two religions: The religion (Buddhism) of the Chinese people was introduced to the Chinese people directly from India about in the 3rd century. The Buddhism, in its way to spread among the Chinese, absorbed many thoughts and ideas from Chinese culture, especially from the Confucius. The religion of the Mongols was introduced to the Mongols from Tibet in late 13 century. The original Mongol religion was Shamanism, people still can find the trace of Shamanism among the Mongols. The Mongols had made great contribution to the Lamaism. The titles of Dalai (the word Dalai is a Mongol term that mean " great/grand/huge/many or Ocean/sea") Lama and Panchen were both first given by the Mongols.
Before the Communist takeover, the most of the Mongols still had been keeping their nomadic lifestyle. They lived in yurts (Mongolian tent ), and their living greatly depended on rising the livestock ( click here for information on the Mongolian livestock). They kept moving from one place to another freely according to different seasons. Their major food was meat. (Mutton/lamb and beef)
After the Chinese communist takeover Inner Mongolia, millions of (over 20 million) Chinese were settled in Inner Mongolia by the Chinese government. These Chinese people turned the vast grassland into farm and since the soil and weather are not fit for cultivation, the land of the Mongols is turning to deserts. Because of the mass population, the Mongols have been forced to give up their nomadic lifestyle and forced to live in the house of dirt and bricks instead of the beautiful yurts.
Few Mongols are still leading their nomadic tradition and the lifestyle of the Mongols is under great threat from the Chinese.
Totally different. The Mongols have been leading nomadic lifestyle and the Chinese (Han ) people have been leading agricultural lifestyle.
It means the loss of their own country and lifeline.
