The article attempts to analyze state-building in Inner Mongolia on the example of Ningxia Province, where in April-September 1949 one of the last acts of the struggle for power between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China was played out, during which the creation of an independent Mongolian state was proclaimed.
