This document is a geopolitical briefing paper dated June 19, 2017, arguing that the People's Republic of China intends to assimilate Mongolia through asymmetrical warfare and 'voluntary' referendum, similar to Russia's annexation of Crimea. It warns that without a global counter-campaign and education effort, Mongolia will be 'Sinicized' within a decade, threatening the balance of power in Eurasia. The text includes historical footnotes referencing 1956 Soviet-Chinese negotiations and a 1989 conversation between Deng Xiaoping and George H.W. Bush to support the claim that China views Mongolia as lost territory.
