The common thread here is how Beijing is afraid from organized ethnic minority movements, religious movements and/or societies from the civil society that could have their own independent ideas.

They are not that different from other Leninist inspired governments. Cuba does that. Vietnam does that. The Soviet Union certainly did that.

These governments always lose their minds with the idea of people organizing themselves and the controlling party having no control whatsoever about these groups.

I have no idea how the People's Daily plays into that. Maybe the readership is so small and it attracts a certain type of personality that Zhongnanhai thinks it is a good idea to report on them.

I've read that the major clique in the CCP certainly wasn't happy about students calling themselves Maoists and supporting workers striking.

I don't know much about China to say about that nor if the People's Daily has many people reading it.


People's Daily is an official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, i.e. "Beijing". Perhaps this fact can improve your analysis.


The term in the list is actually 人民报 "People's newspaper" not 人民日报 "People's Daily newspaper". From a quick look at their website, 人民报 appears to be pretty anti-communist. Basically typosquatting.


You are mistaken, see this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28622783


> (this includes the PRC and ROC -- they both technically claim it)

Neither claims it anymore. The PRC never did. The ROC did at least until the 60s, but they changed position around 2002.

The ROC technically recognized the independent Mongolia in 1946 after some pressure from the Soviets, though they backpedaled on that and blocked Mongolia admission into the UN in the 50s. Taiwan certainly recognizes Mongolia since 2002 at least. They have good relation.

The PRC has good enough relations with Mongolia since mid 80s.
