Chinese authorities have banned a Book on the History of the Mongols, citing "historical nihilism" and targeting the ethnic Mongolian identity. The book, "A General History of the Mongols," published in 2004, was praised for its work in connecting the history of Mongolia. However, the authorities are concerned about the growing sense of Mongolian identity among ethnic Mongolians living in China. This ban is part of a broader effort by President Xi Jinping to boost Chinese national identity and suppress ethnic minority cultures. The move follows the banning of Mongolian-medium instruction in schools in 2020.
