Preface
Mongolia is China's "neighbor" territorially, just like Russia, but it is such a geographical advantage that Mongolia does not make good use of and has good relations with China, but is more inclined to Western countries.
As the "second-in-command" of the US State Department, Campbell paid a visit to Mongolia, but after sending off the US officials, Mongolia backhanded China with two conditions.
Send off U.S. officials
In terms of geopolitics, the United States put forward the "Indo-Pacific Strategy", the main purpose of this strategy is to enable the United States to carry out activities in the Indo-Pacific region and expand the power of the United States, and this strategy was proposed by Trump.
Later, when Biden took office, he also promoted this strategy, and in order to better implement this strategy, the United States needs to win over countries in the Indo-Pacific region, and Mongolia can be said to bear the brunt of many countries.
Because from a geopolitical point of view, Mongolia is adjacent to China, and if Mongolia can be wooed, then the strategy to be implemented after the United States will be smoother.
That's why Campbell, the second-in-command of the U.S. State Department, came to Mongolia to pay a relevant visit to Mongolia, and we can also understand from the conversations during their visit that they mainly focused on adjusting some transportation routes.
In particular, the so-called "open skies" agreement will be signed, and as long as such an agreement is signed, American airlines will operate from this route, and there will be corresponding discussions for mining in both countries.
You must know that Mongolia, although there are still some deficiencies in the development of national strength, but the whole country is very rich in rare earths, and rare earths, as an important strategic resource, are very hot and important treasures in the world, especially for the current era of science and technology, rare earth resources are extremely precious.
Geographically, Mongolia is adjacent to China and Russia, and if the United States woos Mongolia, then Mongolia will become a "tool" to restrain China and Russia.
Especially in July 2023, China also launched its own counterattack under the relevant "sanctions" of the United States, restricting the export of valuable resources.
This situation also accelerated the idea of the United States to win over Mongolia, and it is very interesting that after the prime minister of Mongolia communicated with the United States, he turned around and met with the Chinese ambassador to Mongolia.
Two conditions were put forward to China
China and Mongolia also have corresponding cooperation due to their geographical relations, especially in the construction of relevant ports, and in the course of the meeting between the Prime Minister of Mongolia and the Chinese Ambassador to Mongolia.
They first combined the cooperation between the two countries in recent years, and affirmed the results of the cooperation, among the many projects, he also mentioned the Zamyn-Uud road crossing, which was also established during the special epidemic period.
The opening of the port can greatly increase the speed of the flow of goods between the two countries, which can also make trade more prosperous, which is beneficial and harmless for both countries, after a simple "greeting", the Prime Minister of Mongolia also put forward his idea.
It is hoped that China will actively participate in Mongolia's infrastructure construction, improve road conditions in Ulaanbaatar, and exchange views on promoting important cooperation in the field of renewable energy.
The position of Mongolia
Mongolia's ability to put forward such an idea also shows that they have reaped certain benefits in cooperation with China, but the relationship between them and the agreements reached in their meetings with American officials is very delicate.
In terms of routes alone, the so-called agreements they signed can help the United States and South Korea transport some important rare earth resources, and can also be dispersed to other countries through air routes.
However, it is difficult not to associate Mongolia with the idea that most of Mongolia's mineral resources are located in inhospitable areas, and that transportation facilities are lacking for large-scale excavation.
Mongolia wants to increase its voice in the international community and cooperate with the United States, but it also wants to seek China's help in infrastructure.
In the history of Mongolia's development, they have developed animal husbandry intensively, in addition to minerals, but this situation has brought some environmental pollution and serious desertification.
The change of the environment will also lead to the process of goods transportation will not be very smooth, and there is no strong control measures for desertification in Mongolia, which is related to the national conditions of the whole country.
summary
In the complex and changeable international environment, using the economy as a breakthrough is the best path chosen by some small countries, and economic development can also better drive the growth of vitality.
