Recently, Mongolia is in contact with India, and the two countries have set up a joint group to consult on cooperation in rare earth resources and coke.
However, in the course of the discussions between Mongolia and India, the main topic of discussion was how to get China's consent. What's going on?
According to the information released by the relevant departments of Mongolia, cooperation with India on rare earth and other resources is currently planned.
In order to make this cooperation more smoothly, India and Mongolia decided to establish a direct route. Through this direct route, mineral resources such as rare earth resources are transported to India.
This news fully shows that Mongolia is actively exploring the establishment of cooperative relations with India in rare earth resources and other minerals.
Judging from the development of Mongolia in recent years, it has begun to attach importance to the strategic value of rare earth resources, and try to win the favor of the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries through these superior resources.
Under the background of the current economic development, the United States and the United Kingdom still have a very important position in the economic field, especially in the field of new energy financial services and scientific and technological innovation, both have very advanced technology and experience.
It is precisely because of this that in the process of seeking third-party cooperation, Mongolia has always hoped to cooperate with these countries with better development in the fields of economy, science and technology.
Due to its special geographical location, Mongolia is a typical landlocked country and does not have its own sea exports. Therefore, in the process of developing foreign trade, it is necessary to rely on China or Russia.
For a long time, Mongolia's economic development was largely dependent on China's support.
The coal mined in this country, as well as most of the mineral resources that are exported, are also exported by China.
Since China set export control measures on rare earth resources in 2023, it has been a big blow to some high-tech countries such as the United States.
The importance of rare earth resources in the high-tech field is self-evident, and this resource is also a very important component of the mainland's strategic resources.
Rare earth elements are indispensable in the production of many scientific and technological products.
From the current global rare earth market resources, most of the resources are concentrated in the mainland, and we have mastered very advanced rare earth resource development technology.
Under the restrictions of export control measures, some countries such as the United States are unable to obtain these resources, and the development of semiconductors and other scientific and technological fields will be greatly hindered.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. must look for alternatives to other countries if it wants to reverse the problem of rare earth resource imports.
At this time, Mongolia has played the advantage of rare earth resources, because there are indeed a lot of rare earth resources in Mongolia, which is also the main reason why the United States began to gradually attach importance to relations with Mongolia, hoping to reduce its dependence on China through Mongolian rare earth resources cooperation.
In addition to this, the United States wants to use Mongolia to create a pawn between China and Russia.
This is because Mongolia has a deep historical relationship with China and Russia, and Mongolia was originally a Chinese territory, but it became independent under the manipulation of Soviet Russia. The United States wants to use the problems left over from history to win over this country between China and Russia.
Under the continuous influence of the United States and other Western countries, Mongolia's development has also begun to enter a state of wavering, hoping to reduce its dependence on China and to carry out in-depth exchanges and cooperation with the United States and some other countries.
Now, Mongolia is ready to cooperate with India in rare earth resources. It also wants to transport rare earth resources and other minerals to India through a convenient route.
Although Mongolia and India have been discussing cooperation in depth, the goal of direct shipping must go through China.
Because Mongolia is a landlocked country, in the process of cooperation with India, in addition to the Russian Far East, it is necessary to choose the mainland's Xinjiang and inland port transportation routes.
Of these three transport routes, only the option to pass directly through China is relatively low-cost, and even if Mongolia and India choose direct air flights in the process of cooperation, they still need to be approved by the relevant departments of the mainland.
As a matter of fact, in order to obtain China's consent, Mongolia had already approached the relevant departments of the mainland in advance before communicating with the Indian side, and expressed the hope of further strengthening cooperation with China, and at the same time discussed the issue of transit and bilateral cooperation with third countries.
Senior Chinese officials reassured the Chinese ambassador that relations with China would be ensured first and foremost in the process of development, and were committed to this. At the same time, Mongolia has also put forward a request to invite China to participate in Mongolia's infrastructure construction.
It can be seen that Mongolia is still inseparable from China's support in the process of finding other partners.
