The museum row in 2020 focused on the project’s collaboration with the Inner Mongolia Museum in Hohhot, China. Chinese authorities demanded that certain words, including “Genghis Khan”, “empire” and “Mongol”, be taken out of the French show.

      Erasing the ethnic identity of the Mongolians. Suppress Mongolian nationalism. This is a playbook of the Han Chinese not just since CCP but centuries before. This is what they are doing to the Uyghurs right now. They are flooding Tibet with massive Han migration so that Tibetans become a minority and eventually assimilate them over time so that Tibetans as an identity will disappear. They are known for erasing histories of people they do not like, re-write history to fit the narrative of the current dynasty. Some of the most disruptive archaeological discoveries have been evidences of people and civilizations that have no recorded history in Chinese history as maintained by the Mandarins. That’s what they are doing.
