アメリカ合衆国国務省ウェブサイト(アーカイブ)October 14, 2010,「Since the spring of 2010, an increased number of xenophobic attacks against foreign nationals in Ulaanbaatar were reported to the U.S. Embassy. A number of these attacks occurred without provocation, and robbery was not the motive. Attackers targeted the victim(s) based solely on their ethnicity or perceived foreign nationality. Some of these attacks were directed against U.S. citizens.Additionally, nationalist groups frequently mistake Asian-Americans for ethnic Chinese or Koreans and may attack without warning or provocation. Asian-Americans should exercise caution walking the streets of Ulaanbaatar at all times.」
