In 1945, China was forced to grant independence to Outer Mongolia by the Soviet Union, in exchange for Soviet aid in fighting the Japanese invasion. Outer Mongolia became the independent nation of Mongolia, while Inner Mongolia remained a province of China. Mongolia has closer ties with Russia, its official script is in cyrillic. So once and for all, Mongolia is not Inner Mongolia and is not part of China!
