The CCP’s Secret (& Not So Secret) Cultural Genocide Applies to All Ethnic Groups

Hello, everyone! Welcome to “Inconvenient Truths by Jennifer Zeng”.

If you are following me on Twitter, you might have seen me tweet a lot of videos lately about the Mongolian people’s protests against the Chinese Communist Party’s, (the CCP’s) decision to cancel Mongolian language instruction in Mongolian schools. I called it “cultural genocide” in my first tweet. What happened exactly? Why would the CCP do such a thing? Does the CCP intend to replace Mongolian language and culture with Chinese language and culture? If I say that the CCP has long since launched a cultural genocide on the Chinese language and culture too, would that make sense to you? If not, please don’t go away. I will explain later about this very important issue that many people fail to realize.

Textbooks Must “Embody the Will of the Party and the State”

First, let me briefly talk about the latest situation in Inner Mongolia or Southern Mongolia. 

On Aug. 26, the Mongolian Government’s Department of Education announced that starting from the new school year on September 1, all primary and secondary schools in Inner Mongolia will begin to use Chinese language teaching materials. 

The government explained that “General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that education is a major national and Party project. The construction of teaching materials is of national importance.” Therefore the Party has established the “National Textbook Committee” in July 2017 to further strengthen the management and use of teaching materials in universities, primary and secondary schools, and colleges as a national initiative; and a set of national “standardized teaching materials” for three subjects including Chinese language, politics (ethics and the rule of law) and history was created and put in use since Sep. 2017 in all primary and secondary schools in China, as well as in Xinjiang.

In 2018, schools in Tibet also started to adopt these “standardized teaching materials” in Chinese. And from Sep 1 this year, ethnic schools in six provinces including Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Jilin, Liaoning, Qinghai, and Sichuan, are also required to adopt these textbooks. 

The CCP has made it very clear: “Textbooks embody the will of the Party and the State, reflect the major concerns of the people, preserve China’s outstanding culture and the advanced achievements of human civilization, and are an important vehicle for resolving the fundamental questions of what kind of people to nurture, how to nurture them, and for whom to nurture them. Textbooks have a direct bearing on the implementation of the Party’s education policy and the realization of educational goals.”

So to put it in simple language, textbooks and education in school must serve the party and the party’s needs. 

“Devil Is In The Detail”

Although the CCP claims that the current “bi-lingual” instruction system will not change, and apart from the first grade of primary school and secondary school, students in other grades can continue to get instructions in both ethnic languages including Mongolian and Korean language, so the schools are still having “bi-lingual” system.

However, as the first-grade students can only study the “standardized” Chinese language textbooks from now on, several years later, after the current students of grade 2 to grade 6 graduate, all students will be studying Chinese language textbooks only. 

And then, after several decades or sooner, perhaps nobody will know how to speak the Mongolian language anymore, and the language and culture will gradually die out. 

That’s how serious it is. 

Protests and Crackdown

If you understand the above,  you will understand why large scale protests have broken out in many cities in  Inner Mongolia. Tens of thousands of students and parents launched strikes and protests. Some schools forced students to take classes, while brave students stormed out of the school as a protest.

At one school in Tongliao City, a student jumped to her death after being shut inside the school and seeing her mom beaten by police.

Video clips show that military armored vehicles appeared on the streets of Inner Mongolia, students got arrested by the CCP police, and some shops are not allowed to sell Mongolian language books.

In the meantime, the CCP ordered all cadres and employees to send their children to school. A comprehensive investigation needs to be conducted to find out who hasn’t sent their children to school. Those who don’t will be punished. 

The latest news gathered from a meeting at the Inner Mongolia University was:

  1. The order to cancel Mongolian language education is from CCP’s head Xi Jinping. 

  2. The CCP thinks, as usual, that the protests in Inner Mongolia were induced by “anti-Chinese separatists” outside the country. Those who collaborate with foreign forces need to be arrested.

  3.  It is prohibited to mention that “bilingual education” is unconstitutional. 

4. The relevant regulations in the Constitution will be amended in the future. By the way, the CCP keeps “amending” the Constitution all the time.

5. Everyone must accept the “bilingual education” unconditionally.

6. All forms of protest must stop.

Mongolia is Not the First and Only Target

As I mentioned earlier, Inner Mongolia is not the first and only target of CCP’s cultural genocide. The so-called “standardized” Chinese language textbooks have already been adopted in Xinjiang and Tibet in 2017 and 2018, only the outside world didn’t know much about it. 

Several days ago, on Aug 28-29,  the CCP held its “ 7th Tibet Work Forum” in Beijing. Xi Jinping made an “important” speech, in which he said, “We must adhere to the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and the system of regional autonomy”. 

He also stressed that the CCP needed to “strengthen education and guidance for the masses, widely mobilize them to participate in the anti-secession struggle, and form a brass wall to maintain stability”, to “carry out in-depth education on the history of the Party, the new China, reform and opening-up, and the development of socialism, as well as on the relationship between Tibetan regions and the motherland (China), and guide the masses of all ethnic groups to establish a correct outlook on the country, history, ethnicity, culture, and religion.”

He also said that “We should actively guide Tibetan Buddhism to adapt to a socialist society and promote the Chineseization of Tibetan Buddhism.”

First Round of Genocide

We all know that since the CCP’s occupation of Tibet in the 1950s,  hundreds of thousands, some say as many as 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed. Religious persecution has never stopped, and the cruelty is astonishing. 

In Mongolia, mass killing and persecution have also happened frequently. In the so-called “Inner Mongolia incident” during 1967-1969, over a million people were categorized as members of the already-dissolved Inner Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party,  tens of thousands were killed. Methods of torture were most terrifying. Branding with hot irons, feeding furnace wastes, removing livers, hanging, cutting tongues and noses, piercing nails, piercing vaginas, pouring hot saline water into wounds, etc, were all applied to Mongolians.

When I lived in Australia years ago, I met Professor Yuan Hongbin, who was born and grew up in Inner Mongolia. 

He personally saw such a scene in a village, and I personally heard him telling this story:

During the “Inner Mongolia incident”,  several CCP soldiers hung an old Mongolian man on a tree, with his two hands and two legs tied together from behind. Underneath the old man was a big iron pot with a diameter of nearly two meters.  

The soldiers burned the empty iron pot until it was red, then slowly lowered the man closer and closer to the pot, then pushed open his clothes, and exposed his naked belly to the burning red pot. Then suddenly the old man’s belly burst with a bang, and his intestines fell into the red-hot pot and immediately scurried up like a snake…

I am sorry if this is too horrible to hear. But imagine that the people had to suffer through this and watch it happen right before their very eyes…

Latest Round of Genocide

This kind of cruelty is hard to maintain, though. So after the CCP successfully suppressed down the rebellion, it tried to create an impression that all ethnic groups can live in harmony, happiness, and freedom under the CCP’s rule. 

However, the CCP’s desire to control, enslave, and assimilate every ethnicity is too strong for itself to hold back its effort to try to turn every group into its submissive slaves. If an ethnic group still has its own language, culture, and religion, it can never become 100% slaves of the CCP. 

That’s why for decades, the CCP has been trying to marginalize and then eliminate other cultures and languages. And that’s why we are seeing the latest round of the CCP’s attempt to wipe out the Mongolian language. For the CCP, if something cannot be used or controlled by the party, it is useless and should certainly be wiped out.

The danger is, after decades of suppression, brainwashing, and buying over, some people have become numb or accustomed to their situations, like frogs being boiled slowly in warm water, they no longer feel the danger until it is too late.

If the CCP can successfully push down the protest and achieve its goal in Southern Mongolia this time, I don’t know what that would mean for the Mongolian culture and Mongolian people. 

A Hidden Cultural Genocide: China and Chinese Culture

Many years ago, I was invited to speak at a human rights forum at the Western Sydney University in Australia. A Tibetan community leader was also invited.

I remember after he talked about the human rights violations in the CCP occupied Tibet, he said something like, “Let’s put China in the ‘naughty corner’”, which means China should be punished for the atrocities suffered by the Tibetans.

After hearing him saying that, I stood up and said, “Can I make a suggestion? Can we say ‘put the CCP in the naughty corner’ instead of China?”

Then I went on to say that the CCP was not only the enemy of Tibetan people and Tibetan culture but also the enemy of Chinese people and Chinese culture. Only because the CCP also uses the Chinese language to do evil, many people failed to realize that the CCP has also committed cultural genocide to Chinese people and Chinese culture.

Why did I say that? If we only talk about the language itself, the CCP modified, or “simplified” the Chinese characters in the 1950s. About 2500 Chinese characters have been “simplified” and changed. As a result, the deep cultural connotation of the Chinese language has been lost.

For example, the traditional Chinese character for love “ai(愛)” has a Chinese word for heart (心)in it; but the simplified Chinese character for love (爱)no longer has the word “heart” in it. Can “love” without a heart still be love?

Another example is the traditional Chinese word “qin (親)“. This word means family, dear, close, etc. In the process of simplification, half of the character qin, which is “jian(見)“ was cut off, with only half of the original character left. The cut-off part means “see, look, meet”. So people say that in CCP’s China, families are no longer meant to see one another because the word “see” was cut off from the word for family.

There are many, many other similar examples, and I am afraid that I don’t have time to talk about them all.

The Chinese language is one of the most ancient, most profound, and yet most simple languages in the world. Although there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters in total, the most commonly used ones are only about 3500 characters. So out of the 3500 characters, 2500 were modified, or simplified, would you say that this language is still the original Chinese language? No, it has already been greatly altered beyond recognition. 

If we talk about the connotation of the Chinese language, the damage and alterations are even greater. Language does not exist alone, or independently. Inside the language, there are culture, religion, values, traditions, and new expressions coming into being with new social development, new science, and technology.

Ever since the CCP took power in China, it has been constantly eliminating or wiping out traditional Chinese culture and values, as well as religions. It re-wrote and re-interpreted the Chinese history, and “simplified” it into a history of “class struggles”, of the ruled class throwing out the ruling class, and a process of preparing Chinese society for socialism and then ultimately communism. 

If we look at the history of China before the CCP, it was a history deeply embodied with spiritual pursuit. For thousands of years, Chinese people practiced Taoism,  Buddism, Confucianism, and pursued spiritual perfection, or consummation. These have already been embodied in Chinese people’s everyday life and everyday language.

However, the CCP has barbarously eliminated almost all of the real essence of Chinese culture and used its “simplified” Chinese words to establish a party culture, a CCP culture that is full of violence, hatred, inadequacy, ugliness, and pursuit for the material, and desires only. 

For example, if you read ancient Chinese poems or novels, there were so many different ways to describe the beauty of a lady. Each of them had their own, unique beauty, characteristics, and charms; and they lived vividly in your mind and imagination. 

However, nowadays, it seems that there is only one way left to describe a good looking young lady, which is, “顏值很高”, which means she scores high with her appearance. Sometimes they also say  “顏值能打“, or “顏值吊打” , “顏值碾壓“, which means her appearance can beat that of others. So in other words, they mark the beauty of different human beings with the same kind of scoring system, and those who score higher have the right to look down upon or run over those who score lower. What kind of nonsense is that, right? 

And when they talk about young, handsome men, they call them “小鮮肉“, which means ”young, fresh meat”, or “young, fresh flesh”.People are no longer referred to as human beings with a soul but are reduced to a piece of meat, or living, walking meat, at most. 

This kind of ugly and disgusting language is everywhere on the Internet, and young people use it every day without even feeling any issues using it.

If we were to discuss this further, there’s so much more to explore, but I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to cover everything even if I kept talking for days. So I will stop here.

All in all, with the latest cultural genocide in Inner or Southern Mongolian, I hope people can see one more time that the CCP is the real enemy of mankind. Chinese, Tibetans, Mongolians, Uighurs, and many other ethnic groups are all victims of the CCP; and mankind should join forces to stop it before it can take more cultures and human beings to destruction.
