Проблема независимости Монгольской Народной Республики в современной китайской историографии

Mongolia nationhood status despite its present stability and full recognition by the world community has still ambiguous reaction among some Chinese authors. The goal of the article is to analyze the works on the problems of independence of Mongolia in XX century. The study aims at, first of all, identifying the works of Chinese researchers on the topic; secondly, random selection and analysis of the texts that contain the fundamental principles of the problems of independence of Mongolia. The analysis showed that some Chinese historians still use the archaic term “Outer Mongolia” in regard to the modern Mongolia; in the most Chinese works there is an idea that the independence of Mongolia in the first half of the XX century was the result of long-held plans of the Tsarist (Soviet) Russia towards effete China.
