Kutipan dari "World Communism Today" by Martin Ebon, Whittlesey House, 1948, halaman 378:
"Outer Mongolia in central Asia was separated from China in 1912 and
became a protectorate of Czarist Russia. In 1924, a "Mongolian People's
Republic" was set up which isolated itself from the rest of the world,
except the Soviet Union. The country is governed by Marshal Kharloin
Choibalsan. After Japan's collapse in 1945, a Soviet-sponsored
plebiscite in Outer Mongolia resulted in 487,409 votes favoring
independence from China.
To the south, Inner Mongolia, an outlying dependency of China,
announced its independence on April 23, 1947. Characteristically, the
announcement of this event came from Chinese Communist radio; the
"People's Representative Assembly" of Inner Mongolia met inside
Communist-controlled territory of Manchuria. the People's Revolutionary
Party is the party of Communists in both Mongolian regions.
The Chinese government believes that the Soviet Union aspires to set
up a Communist-controlled region in at least part of Sinkiang (Chinese
Turkestan). Clashes at the Singkiang-Outer Mongolian border occured
during the summer of 1947. Another central Asiatic region, Tannu Tuva
was absorbed by the Soviet Union on October 11, 1944. It became the
"Tuva Autonomous Region" of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist
Republic and is governed by the local Communist Party's secretary
general, S. K. Toka."
Komentar: Saya pada mulanya ingin mencari sejarah kawasan Tannu Tuva
di Mongolia, namun menemukan data bahwa ternyata Mongolia Dalam pernah
memproklamasikan kemerdekaannya pada tanggal 23 April 1047. Ini
merupakan informasi yang menarik.
