Today we are talking about an interesting issue which may be far away from people’s daily attention focus. This was aroused from a BBC news, but compared with other news, this is more like a short feature writing. It is about a phenomenon which they called nationalism, but I consider that new Nazism.

The news’ name is “Discontent fuels Mongolia’s far-right groups”. The first part of this writing showed the background, told us where the discontent came from. The reason pointed to this country’s big neighbor China. After decades of years of influence made by former Soviets, Mongolia had searched for new support both from military and politics. Then China was coming to fulfill the gap. It provided assistance to Mongolian military and investment to the country’s economic. But now more and more Mongolians began to express their discontent against the relation between Chinese government and their own administration. The reporter indicated the people’s worries, they suspected China would undermine their own way of development.

The main part of the writing used “nationalism” to be its title, this was also quoted from a member of far-right group called Dayar Mongol. Dayar Mongol was the protagonist of our story. I couldn’t decide what on earth this organization was but from personal view, I don’t think it is an organization with good manners and nice motivation. The news said, “Swastikas and slogans are daubed on walls across the city”. And Swastika is the symbol of Nazism.

The behaviors of them also illustrated their fierce reactions. The example the news represented firstly was a prominent video which showed a man shaving the head of a Mongolian woman. They blamed her on sleeping with Chinese. I think this was a smart measure to tell audiences what attitude towards the organization but at the same time, stayed objectively.

The writer also contacted some of the group’s members, one of them was the leader, named Erdenebileg Zenemyadar. He dressed traditionally when being interviewed. Although many Swastikas were appeared around his organization, he insisted on their justice. He realized some of their behaviors “is wrong but it’s happening a lot”. Another interviewee was a young member who was also more radical. He dressed combat pants, with swastika necklace around his neck., he said Nazis’ nationalism stood for keeping own nation’s pure to themselves.

The reporter also interviewed representatives of social minority, gay activists and victims of the violence. They were sympathetic to the concerns and discontents, anxious were transmitted at the meantime.

Among the whole news, the reporter showed his professional skills of journalism, kept peaceful wording and stuck to objective perspectives.
