Those Chinese victims were the ethnic Mongols from China.

Book review of a historian take.
Sinophobia: Anxiety, Violence, and the Making of Mongolian Identity
Historian Franck Billé explores the swell of anti-Chinese feeling that has accompanied Mongolia's post-Soviet independence
By Joshua Bird
From the time that Genghis Khan succeeded in uniting the disparate nomadic tribes of the Mongolian steppes into one of history's most devastating conquering forces, the histories of China and Mongolia have been inextricably linked. His forces' invasions of the Chinese Western Xia and Jin dynasties represented one of the first mass confrontations between the mobile, horse-backed Mongols and the more sedentary Chinese empires taking root along the Yellow River. In the following century, Mongolian troops led by Genghis Khan's grandson Kublai Khan conquered China and established the Yuan Dynasty which would rule the country until being superseded by the Ming Dynasty in the late 14th century. This period marked the last time that Mongolia was in ascendancy over China. By the time of the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty in the 17th Century, Mongolia had been completely absorbed into the Chinese Empire.
Two hundred years later – emboldened by the crumbling of the Qing Dynasty – Mongolia proclaimed its independence, eventually driving out the Chinese with the support of ethnic Russian forces in the early 1920s. Mongolian alignment with the Soviets eventually forced the new Chinese Communist State to formally recognize Mongolian independence in 1949. De facto independence would not be attained until the collapse of the Soviet Empire, and with it came a very public fear of China and the Chinese.
In Sinophobia: Anxiety, Violence, and the Making of Mongolian Identity, author Franck Billé explores the swell of anti-Chinese feeling that has accompanied Mongolia's post-Soviet independence. Despite having just emerged from over 70 years of Russian domination, it is China – rather than Russia – which has become the focus of Mongolian anxiety and fear. In fact, Russia has actually assumed the role of savior in Mongolia's national narrative, with many believing "Without them, Mongolia would now be part of China." With the Soviet-Russians now having left Mongolia, the fear of re-annexation by China continues to loom large in the Mongolian public imagination.
Sinophobia in Mongolia takes on many forms, some of which are reflections of the familiar anti-Asian xenophobic tropes of the west. Mongolia is seen as being "swamped" by Chinese who dilute the "purity" of the Mongolian nation through procreating with local women and exploiting its natural resources. Billé illustrates that for many Mongolians the Chinese have become a shadowy specter, responsible for the poisoning of Mongolian food, the corrupting of Mongolian politics and the defilement of Mongolian women. As a result, nationalist narratives in Mongolia are framed almost exclusively in opposition to China, which is posited as the anti-Mongolia – gluttonous, untrustworthy and feminine to Mongolia's controlled, honest and masculine culture. Billé paints a detailed picture of the contemporary anti-Chinese discourse in Mongolia, drawing upon a wide variety of sources, from traditional media such as newspapers and film to more unexpected material such as hip-hop music and graffiti. This helps engage the reader's interest, and prevents the book from becoming too dry or academic.
One of Billé's primary objectives is to challenge the idea of Mongolian antipathy to the Chinese as something primordial or essential to the Mongolian national character, as is often argued by Mongolians themselves. Instead, he traces the roots of Mongolian sinophobia to the country's complex relationship with Russia and the Soviet Union. Billé's central argument is that Mongolian sinophobia is, intimately connected to Mongol's desire to distance themselves from China and Asia as a whole, and that this ambition is problematic because Mongols appear, physically and "racially," to be Asian.

And their relatives in Inner Mongolia have access to sanitation, electricity and HSR.

Inner Mongolians and Outer Mongolians are different type of Mongolians. No ? Like different tribes.
