Inner Mongolian People's Party

is beyond the current scope of party goals.

The historical IMPP (pre-1976)

Historically, an IMPP had existed before the establishment of the PRC, but was merged with the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) after the CPC came to power in 1949. During the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, certain elements within the Chinese government, including notorious security chief Kang Sheng, claimed that the party had covertly revived itself as a hostile separate entity and sought to extinguish it. This resulted in 790,000 people being persecuted in the witchhunt that followed. Of these 22,900 were beaten to death and 120,000 were permanently maimed.

The new IMPP

In the 1980s, Xi Haiming ( _mn. Temtselt Shobshuud), Huchuntegus ( _zh. Hu Qing Te Gu Si), Wang Manglai (( _zh. Wang Man Lai) and Hada, all students at universities in Hohhot, discussed establishment of the Inner Mongolian People's Party, a political party for Mongolians in Inner Mongolia. Later, individuals from eastern and western Inner Mongolia divided and therefore, Huchuntogus established the "Ordos Association of Ethnic Culture" at the Ikh Juu League (now the Ordos City); while Hada established the Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance. Xi Haiming fled his country and established the IMPP in New York, in March, 1997. [ [http://www.smhric.org/news_39.htm “Inner Mongolian People’s Party” and the basic facts about its key members] ]

Given the current demographics of Inner Mongolia (Han Chinese currently constitute some 80% of the population) and the hardline approach generally taken by the PRC government towards secessionist movements, however, it is exceedingly unlikely that the party would be able to achieve its goals.
