There are reports that nearly a thousand people protested in the streets on Monday in Hohot, Inner Mongolia—a region in northern China. Last week, there had been a string of protests there by ethnic Mongolians. But Chinese security forces had clamped down hard over the weekend.
据报导，位在中国北方内蒙古的呼和浩特市，在星期一有将近一千人走上街头抗议。上周此地发生了一连串由蒙古族人发起的抗议活动。但周末期间中国安全部队已进行严厉镇压。

The U.S.-based Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center said in a statement that on Monday morning a protest happened anyway—but it was smaller than many expected. The protest lasted about an hour before riot police stopped it, and arrested dozens of participants.
总部位于美国的“南方蒙古人权资讯中心”在一份正式声明中表示，星期一上午，抗议无论如何是发生了，但是规模并不如众所预期。这场抗议持续了大约一个小时，一直到镇暴警察前来制止，并逮捕数十名参与者。

China’s Foreign Ministry spoke on the issue Tuesday as part of a regular press briefing. Spokesperson Jiang Yu blamed the protests on foreign forces:
周二中国外交部针对此议题发言，作为例行新闻简报的一部分。发言人姜瑜将这场抗议归咎于国外势力。

[Jiang Yu, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson]:
“As for outside forces that are trying to stir up trouble and cause disturbance through this, they have hidden agenda."
中国外交部发言人姜瑜：
“至于试图借此来滋事生乱的外部力量，他们是有隐藏的目的。”

She did not specify who the outside forces are, or what their hidden agenda might be.
而她并未具体指明谁是“外部力量”，或他们“隐藏目的”的可能为何。
