Well the US tried that under Obama when both Obama and Hillary said they were inspired by the Arab Spring and then the US media made up a big deal over a traffic accident that took place in Inner Mongolia where the Mongolian driver of one car was killed. The US was doing it long before Russia with Facebook and Twitter. Mongolia also claims Xinjiang as theirs also. Who is the US going to side with... Uighurs or Mongolians?
My apologies Mace my cell phone connection dropped out before I could make the change in my thread where I suggested Mongolia remain as an region of China.
Is that true? US officially supporting an independant Uighurs nation. We can blame the US for the plight of the Uighurs in those camps.?

It's not official. It's underhanded. They would love it to happen. The Arab Spring caught fire in several Middle East countries and the US thought they could start it in other parts of the world and the US didn't have to go to war to start a revolution. I think it started in Algeria where some poor street vendor was harassed by police. That's why the US thought they can turn a traffic accident in Inner Mongolia into a revolution in China. And let's not forget soon after that incident someone on Chinese social media posted for a revolution against the Chinese government to start at "this" place at "this" time in China and called for everyone to show up. So when the time came, who were the only ones to show up? US Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman and the Western media. What more says that someone in the US State Department posted this message. The one thing they forgot was they posed as a Chinese but did not let go the arrogance of an American to think everyone was going to do what they said. And because no one actually Chinese showed up, they could and did spin to say they were arrested by secret police.
What they're angry at Russia for doing with US social media, they were already doing it to China.
I remember soviet leadership saying diff btw USSR citizens and Americans is that Soviets know their news is bullshit while Americans think theirs is the real deal.

This is a very amusing paradox, when all media are regulated and edited, people go to great length to sieve through them, comparing and researching. But when all media are let of the hook, people just gravitate to the nearest one that fits their agenda, or failing to find any, just make one up themselves.
Not to say that either one mode is better than the other, but it goes to show how we humans are capable of messing up no matter how many precautions we take.
Inner & Outer Mongolia is separated by the Gobi desert. And in Mongolia “proper” there is also something of an inferiority and persecution complex towards Inner Mongolia/China. They do not actually like eachother that much despite sharing names.
Even if they did like eachother, China isn’t just something you can join. Mongolia is landlocked nation with not a lot of resources and below 3rd tier living standards. Integrating it into China would be a costly investment. The only short term gain would be the prestige of having more living room. Living room that’s useless because there’s no infrastructure on it and it’s mainly desert.
Don’t bet on it, Australia is rabbit against Huawei and China. You should read and hear about some of the stuff politicians and the public in general say about China
