在现在的中华人民共和国地图内蒙古的北端,有一个拥有一百五十多万平方公里土地、世界最大的内陆国家蒙古国。其实,那片土地自古以来就是中国的领土,只是到了上世纪二十年代才开始从中国的版图上分裂出去,到了四十年代末才得到中国政府的承认。 In the present map of the People’s Republic of China, at the northern end of Inner Mongolia, there is a country of more than 1.5 million square kilometers and the largest landlocked country in the world. Actually, that piece of land has been China’s territory since ancient times. Only by the 1920s did China begin to split itself from the territory of China and was not recognized by the Chinese government until the late 1940s.
