But Gobi Desert is in Mongolia (Eastern Mongolia).

The Province of Inner Mongolia is a Chinese one and is part of PRC.

Mongolia is a distinct country. Perhaps, I don't understand this post, but if the die-off happened in Mongolia than the headline may be changed accordingly.

I don't know. I have spent some time trying to find a news release that would say the same thing with different words with no success. All those I found are worded exactly the same. So short of asking a Chinese person to improve on the Google translation, I can bring nothing new with the above. If it's important we might hear about it some more in a few days perhaps?

Thanks FrenchieGirl and Ironorehopper.

I think these translations are good for the "hint" that they give us. They are not 100% but they give us a window into what is happening.
