Claim: Outer Mongolia is a territory of Republic of China (Outer Mongolia, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-05-06): Buried deep in the heart of the huge Asian land mass, Outer Mongolia is a country of sweeping plains, lake-studded highlands, with an awkward location: it is set squarely between Communist China and the Soviet Union. All but lost to history since the 14th century, when its conquering Khans ruled from Indonesia to the Danube, this ancient heartland has become the newest area in the growing clash between the two Communist rivals. Long an inaccessible province of China, Outer Mongolia became the first Soviet satellite when the Reds pursued the Whites into Urga (later Ulan Bator), and remained to establish the Mongolian People’s Republic in 1924. For the next generation, Moscow monopolized Mongolia’s diplomatic and trade relations to the exclusion of all foreigners, and particularly the Chinese. Mongolia’s wool and hides went westward to Russia, in exchange for a trickle of manufactured goods and swarms of political instructors. The Russians introduced their own Cyrillic alpha bet; Buddhist lamas and a few rich herders were persecuted to "free" the masses for membership in the new cooperatives. [...] In May 1960, Chinese Premier Chou En-lai himself came to Ulan Bator and signed a treaty providing for $50 million in long-term loans to build a cotton mill, a sheet-glass factory, a 10,000-ton steel mill, an irrigation system, a circus, and a project for 240,000 square meters of apartment housing for Ulan Bator. [...] Undoubtedly, Outer Mongolia is a Communist satellite. The question seems to be: Whose?
Claim: Outer Mongolia is a territory of Republic of China (Outer Mongolia, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-08-25): Many considered the socialist nation a puppet state of the Soviet Union, but for Taiwan the issue was more fundamental. At that time, the ruling Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) not only held onto its claim as the rightful ruler of China, but considered itself as a successor to all of the Qing Dynasty’s former lands, which included "Outer Mongolia." [...] "Outer Mongolia," which roughly corresponds to today’s Mongolia plus Russia’s Tuva Republic, fell under Qing Dynasty control in 1691 and remained part of the empire until its demise in 1911. Even though Mongolia declared independence then, the ROC claimed to have inherited the entirety of Qing territory per the Provisional Constitution promulgated in March 1912. [...] Even so, further iterations of the ROC constitution continued to claim Outer Mongolia as an inalienable part of the nation’s territory, wrote Liu Hsueh-tao (劉學銚) of the now defunct Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission in the 1997 article, "Examining the Outer Mongolia problem from a legal and political standpoint" (從法律政治層面看外蒙古問題).
Claim: Outer Mongolia is a territory of Republic of China (Outer Mongolia, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2009-01-20): Outer Mongolia was a Chinese province (1691-1911), an autonomous state under Russian protection (1912-19), and again a Chinese province (1919-21). As Manchu authority in China waned, and as Russia and Japan confronted each other, Russia gave arms and diplomatic support to nationalists among the Mongol religious leaders and nobles. The Mongols accepted Russian aid and proclaimed their independence of Chinese rule in 1911, shortly after a successful Chinese revolt against the Manchus. By agreements signed in 1913 and 1915, the Russian Government forced the new Chinese Republican Government to accept Mongolian autonomy under continued Chinese control, presumably to discourage other foreign powers from approaching a newly independent Mongolian state that might seek support from as many foreign sources as possible.
Claim: Outer Mongolia is a territory of Republic of China (Outer Mongolia, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-12-01): 7Although the MTAC was charged with administration of Mongolia, Tibet, and other frontier regions, this paper focuses on MTAC documents related to Mongolia. The case of Mongolia, encompassing Inner and Outer Mongolia, stands out for its particularly complex geopolitical position between the former Soviet Union and the PRC during the Cold War. The case of Mongolia is also of particular interest due to its territorial complexity: the division between Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region in the PRC, and the independent Republic (formerly People’s Republic) of Mongolia, further complicates investigation of shifting MTAC claims of sovereignty and portrayals of the region(s). The MTAC did not recognise the Mongolian People’s Republic, even after its admission to the United Nations, and until 2002 instead referred to the country’s territory as "Outer Mongolia," and the territory within the autonomous region in the PRC as "Inner Mongolia." Accordingly, narrowing the research scope allows a clearer understanding of the dynamics in the ROC’s specific portrayal of Mongolia, including Inner Mongolia, "Outer" Mongolia, and Mongolian people more generally. [...] In fact, Mongolia’s function as a Chinese buffer zone was seen as especially necessary because of Soviet expansionism. Furthermore, since Outer Mongolia could not be expected to defend itself against Soviet influence, responsibility landed on the ROC to protect its vulnerable frontier.
Claim: Outer Mongolia is a territory of Republic of China (Outer Mongolia, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-04): The territory of the Republic of China according to its existing national boundaries shall not be altered except by resolution of the National Assembly.

Within the territory of the Republic of China, all goods shall be permitted to move freely from place to place.
Claim: Outer Mongolia is a territory of Republic of China (Outer Mongolia, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-10): At its establishment in 1912, the Republic of China claimed to be the successor state to the entirety of the Qing empire, which included Outer Mongolia. The Republic of China did not recognise Mongolia's independence until 1945; neither country exchanged diplomats between 1946 and 1949. At the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, Mongolia recognised the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China retreated to the island of Taiwan. The Republic of China continued to show Mongolia as part of its territory on official maps until 2002 when they recognised Mongolia as an independent country and established informal relations between the two sides. [...] The Republic of China that ruled mainland China at the time claimed Outer Mongolia as part of its territory until 1946. Under the terms of the 1945 Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, the Republic of China was to recognize both Mongolian sovereignty and independence.[5][6] The Nationalist government of China officially recognized the independence of Mongolia in January 1946 after the 1945 Mongolian independence referendum which voted for independence.[7] However, due to a border conflict on the Khovd/Sinkiang border, no diplomatic relations were established between 1946 and 1949.[8]
Claim: Outer Mongolia is a territory of Republic of China (Outer Mongolia, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2015-10-23): Seventy years ago, on October 20, 1945, Mongolia held a referendum on independence from China. The Chinese had by then lost all effective control of what they then called "Outer Mongolia." The last Chinese forces in Mongolia were chased out by the anti-Bolshevik general Roman von Ungern-Stenberg in 1921 (who was in turn defeated by the Bolsheviks later that year). Mongolia soon became the "People’s Republic of Mongolia" – the first Soviet satellite, even as it remained, de jure, a part of China. In February 1945, at Yalta, the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin asked his wartime allies, the United States and the United Kingdom, to consent to Mongolia maintaining its "status quo" after the war, and obtained their agreement to this innocuous proposition. [...] True to Chiang’s earlier promise, the Republic of China recognized Mongolia’s independence in January 1946. This recognition was rescinded some years later when Chiang accused Stalin of violating the agreements of 1945 by supporting the Chinese Communists in the Civil War. For decades afterwards, the maps of the Republic of China, published in Taiwan, featured Mongolia as a part of the Chinese territory.

Claim: Moyo District is a territory of Uganda (Moyo District, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2019-05-28): Since independence from British colonial rule, large numbers of South Sudanese and Ugandans have repeatedly crossed the shared border to escape civil wars. These forced movements of large populations have created shifting labels of ‘refugees’ and ‘internally displaced persons’ (IDPs), with tremendous social, economic and political repercussions for the persons to which these labels are applied. [...] Different ethnic groups that have seen clashes over contested territories have also been forced into settling in areas of close proximity following unrest in their respective homelands. My own research reveals the Kuku of Kajokeji in South Sudan were so suspicious of the Madi in the Ugandan Moyo district that, when they settled in the latter’s region, they avoided treatment in the Moyo hospital for fear of maltreatment by Madi medical personnel. The history of conflict over certain borders has a direct bearing on the welfare of refugees in the present.

Evidence (1997-10-02): The West Nile conflict has affected, to varying degrees, parts of Arua and Moyo Districts, whose entire territories - including those marginally affected - comprise 12,000 square kilometers, about the size of Gulu. Its population includes 800,000 Ugandans and up to 200,000 refugees from southern Sudan. Unlike the ethnically homogeneous area of Gulu and Kitgum, the West Nile is home to a number of distinct groups, including the Kakwa and the Aringa (mainly Lugbara-speaking Muslim) people of northern Arua's Koboko and Aringa counties. The overwhelming majority of Moyo District residents - except in its western Obongi County - are of the predominantly Christian Madi group, which has participated in neither the West Nile conflict nor in the war in Acholi, with which it also shares a border. [...] The Madi people represent the overwhelming majority of the population of northern Moyo (west of the Nile) and eastern Moyo District. The Madi people share borders with the Aringa and with the Acholi. They have declined since 1986 to participate in the anti-government insurgency with either group but have suffered economic and security disruptions from both.
