Question: Shiwei, was an umbrella term for Mongols and Tungusic peoples that inhabited far-eastern Mongolia, northern Inner Mongolia, the area near the Okhotsk Sea beach, and which northern location, depending on the context, Manchuria can either refer to a region that falls entirely within which country, or a larger region divided between China and Russia?
Context: Shiwei () was an umbrella term for Mongols and Tungusic peoples that inhabited far-eastern Mongolia, northern Inner Mongolia, northern Manchuria and the area near the Okhotsk Sea beach.  Records mentioning the Shiwei were recorded from the time of the Northern Wei (386-534) until the rise of the Mongols under Genghis Khan in 1206 when the name "Mongol" and "Tatar" were applied to all the Shiwei tribes. On the night of May 10, 2011 an ethnic Mongol herdsman was killed by a coal truck driver near Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia, China.  The incident, alongside grievances over mining development in the region and the perceived erosion of traditional lifestyle of indigenous peoples, led to a series of Mongol protests across Inner Mongolia.  Some 2000 students participated in protests at Communist Party headquarters of the West Ujimqin Banner, followed by demonstrations by secondary school students in the Xilinhot area.  Select secondary schools and universities with large ethnic Mongol populations were reportedly under "lockdown".  The Inner Mongolia government under Hu Chunhua tightened security in Inner Mongolian cities, including dispatching People's Armed Police troops to central Hohhot. Manchuria is a region in East Asia.  Depending on the definition of its extent, Manchuria can either refer to a region falling entirely within China, or a larger region today divided between Northeast China and the Russian Far East.  To differentiate between the two parts following the latter definition, the Russian part is also known as Outer Manchuria, while the Chinese part is known as Inner Manchuria. Borjigin (plural Borjigid; Mongolian: Боржигин , "Borjigin"; "Борджигин" , "Bordjigin"; Mongolian script: , "Borjigit"), is the last name of the imperial clan of Genghis Khan and his successors.  The senior Borjigids provided ruling princes for Mongolia and Inner Mongolia until the 20th century.  The clan formed the ruling class among the Mongols and some other peoples of Central Asia and Eastern Europe.  Today, the Borjigid are found in most of Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang, although genetic research has shown that descent from Genghis Khan is common in Central Asia. Inner Mongolia University of Technology (IMUT)() is a university in Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China, under the authority of the Autonomous Region government.  It was founded in 1951 and was originally known as the Suiyuan Higher Technical School (绥远省高级工业学校) and then after 1958 the Inner Mongolia Polytechnic Institute (内蒙古工学院) before changing to its current name in 1993.  It is located in north part of Hohhot, the capital city of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Manchuria () was a name first used in the 17th century by Chinese people to refer to a large geographic region in Northeast Asia.  Depending on the context, Manchuria can either refer to a region that falls entirely within the People's Republic of China or a larger region divided between China and Russia.  The region that falls entirely within modern China is now usually referred to as Northeast China (Dongbei) () in China, although "Manchuria" is widely used outside China to denote the geographical and historical region.  This region is the traditional homeland of the Xianbei, Khitan, and Jurchen (later called Manchu) peoples, who built several states within the area historically (it must be noted, however, that no term for "Manchuria" exists in the Manchu language, which originally referred to the area as the "Three Eastern Provinces"). The Qing dynasty in Inner Asia was the expansion of the Qing dynasty's realm in Inner Asia in the 17th and the 18th century AD, including both Inner and Outer Mongolia, Manchuria, Tibet, Qinghai and Xinjiang.  Wars were fought primarily against the Northern Yuan dynasty (before 1636) and the Dzungar Khanate (1687–1758).  Even before the conquest of China proper (see Qing conquest of the Ming), the Manchus had controlled Manchuria (modern Northeast China as well as Outer Manchuria) and Inner Mongolia, with the latter being previously controlled by the Mongols under Ligdan Khan.  After suppressing the Revolt of the Three Feudatories and the conquest of Taiwan as well as ending the Sino-Russian border conflicts in the 1680s, the Dzungar–Qing War broken out.  This eventually led to Qing conquests of Outer Mongolia, Tibet, Qinghai and Xinjiang.  All of them became part of the Qing Empire and were garrisoned by Qing forces, but they were governed through several different types of administrative structure and also retained many of their existing institutions.  Furthermore, they were not governed as regular provinces (until Xinjiang and Manchuria were turned into provinces in late Qing), but instead were supervised by the Lifan Yuan, a Qing government agency that oversaw the empire's frontier regions. Inner Mongolia Medical University (内蒙古医科大学) is a university in Inner Mongolia, China under the authority of the Autonomous Region government.  It is located in Hohhot, the capital city of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.  It was renamed from Inner Mongolia Medical College in 2012. A chum (pronounced "choom") is a temporary dwelling used by the nomadic Uralic (Nenets, Nganasans, Enets, Khanty, Mansi, Komi) reindeer herders of northwestern Siberia of Russia.  The Evenks, Tungusic peoples, tribes, in Russia, Mongolia and China also use chums.  They are also used by the southernmost reindeer herders, of the Todzha region of the Republic of Tyva and their cross-border relatives in northern Mongolia.  It has a design similar to a Native American tipi but some versions are less vertical.  It is very closely related to the Sami lavvu in construction, but is somewhat larger in size.  Some chums can be up to thirty feet (ten meters) in diameter. The Yuan dynasty in Inner Asia was the domination of the Yuan dynasty in Inner Asia in the 13th and the 14th centuries.  The Genghisid rulers of the Yuan came from the Mongolian steppe, and the Mongols under Kublai Khan established the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) based in Khanbaliq (modern Beijing), a Chinese-style dynasty that incorporated many aspects of Mongolian and Inner Asian political and military institutions.  Actual Yuan rule extended to Manchuria (modern Northeast China and Outer Manchuria), Mongolia (both Inner and Outer Mongolia as well as part of southern Siberia), the Tibetan Plateau and parts of Xinjiang.  People from these Inner Asian regions other than the Mongols usually belonged to the Semu class.  In addition, the Yuan emperors held nominal suzerainty over the three western Mongol khanates (the Golden Horde, the Chagatai Khanate and the Ilkhanate), but they were essentially autonomous and ruled separately due to the division of the Mongol Empire since the Toluid Civil War in the 1260s.
