Oops. Wrong Country

There is a lot of misunderstanding about Mongolia. But the New American is really confused. William F. Jasper comments on the President’s visit in:

President Bush Showers Mongolian Reds With Praise, Aid

Jasper describes a country where the president is

head of the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party, which is the renamed and (supposedly) reformed Communist Party of Mongolia

But isn’t it impossible for a president to be member of a political party? And the MPRP is still the original name, isn’t it? And the communist party?? The mist thickens but soon fades:

…the United Nations and the U.S. government (along with the rest of the world’s nations) pretend that Mongolia is now truly independent of Beijing’s communist control

Indeed: wrong country. One more time: Inner Mongolia is located in China, Outer Mongolia is the indepenent country Mongolia.
