But now it faces a major problem. How to transport Mongolian resources to the United States must go through China and Russia. If China doesn't agree, Mongolia can't send rare earth resources to the United States because of the relationship between China and Russia. How did they end up?
Rare earth, also known as universal soil and industrial gold, is widely used in metallurgical industry. Rare earth is very active in chemical properties, which can reduce harmful substances in metals and contribute to petroleum catalysis in cracking. It plays a very important role in industrial production and is widely used in people's daily life, industrial military and other fields.
Rare earth belongs to non-renewable resources. With the continuous progress of industry, each country has very strict restrictions on its own mineral resources. Some developed countries have turned their attention to countries that are difficult to exploit rare earth energy by themselves and given financial support. At the same time, * * * enjoys the mined mineral resources, which is equivalent to such a relationship between China and Mongolia.
The basic situation of Mongolia Mongolia was originally a part of China, and later it declared its independence by taking advantage of civil strife. At that time, China was at home and abroad, too busy to take care of it, leaving Mongolia to stand on its own feet. After the founding of New China, China still regarded Mongolia as a brother and gave Mongolia a lot of support despite the very difficult economic development.
The reserves of rare earth resources in Mongolia are as high as 3 1 10,000 tons, ranking second in the world. Mongolia is rich in mineral resources, with a total of 6.4 billion tons in the country. However, due to limited technology and funds, Mongolia is unable to mine minerals, and its overall economy is relatively underdeveloped. Therefore, Mongolia usually sells its own coal mines at very cheap prices to earn foreign exchange.
Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, and is rich in mineral resources. The national GDP of Mongolia is only 1.30 1 100 million yuan. Even the overall GDP of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China is 20 times that of Mongolia. Since the founding of New China, China's economy has been developing continuously, which is also a strong support for Mongolia.
Up to now, Mongolia has received 4.8 billion investment from China, and China has also invested a lot of funds and enterprises in Mongolia, accounting for 1/3 of the total investment. In addition, China has given Mongolia many preferential trade policies to import Mongolia's mineral resources.
The trade volume between China and Mongolia alone climbed to 8 billion US dollars, accounting for 2/3 of Mongolia's total trade volume. It can be said that a large part of the foreign exchange occupied by Mongolia was obtained with the deliberate help of China. From this data, we can also know that China is sincere to its neighbors and wants to support them.
Mongolia does not know how to repay kindness, but unfortunately, not all countries in the world are Pakistan, and not everyone knows how to repay kindness. It stands to reason that China has occupied two-thirds of Mongolia's foreign exchange reserves and given them such a large investment. They should return the favor and further strengthen strategic cooperation with China, but they turned their eyes to the United States.
Rare earth resources are non-renewable resources, but they are indispensable materials in various fields such as industry and military, and will be less and less in the future. Therefore, many countries will try their best to keep their rare earth reserves and buy them from abroad. Many industrial powers have turned their eyes to countries with underdeveloped technologies, while the United States has turned its eyes to Mongolia.
At this time, Mongolia ignored the investment and support that China had been giving them, but thought that their country's economy had been too dependent on China for a long time and needed to seek more and more powerful allies, so that their economy could develop better. Therefore, the United States and Mongolia hit it off, and the two sides discussed the rare earth issue many times. They have reached a strategic cooperation intention. In the future, the United States will increase its investment in Mongolia and obtain rare earth resources at a very low price.
Supposedly, their abacus is good, but they are a little ungrateful and a little sorry for our country, which is a win-win outcome for them. However, this cooperation has not yet begun, and will soon be strangled in the cradle. After the rare earth resources are mined, they will inevitably be transported to the United States, but Mongolia is a landlocked country and has no seaport. Therefore, if it wants to transport its rare earth resources to the United States, it must pass through China and Russia.
If the United States wants to send people through Mongolia, it must also pass through the airspace of China and Russia. If it rashly sends troops without the consent of the two countries, it is equivalent to invading our territory, which is a very serious international problem.
At that time, China and Russia will have the right to expel the US team for violating the border, and the rare earth resources have been concerned by all countries in the world. The cooperation between the United States and Mongolia has almost always been at the forefront, and it is impossible to do it privately.
After rare earth resources are mined, how to transport them to the United States is a big problem. China's investment and support to Mongolia led to the peaches being picked by the United States, which China could not agree with. However, judging from the good border relations between China and Russia, if China and Russia reach a strategic understanding and refuse to pass by the United States and Mongolia, then there may be only three ways for Mongolia and the United States in the future.
First, the United States and Mongolia pay extremely expensive tolls to gain the right of passage between China and Russia. Second, the United States gave up the idea of importing rare earth resources from Mongolia. Third, the United States and China have the right to import rare earth resources from Mongolia, but China is naturally given priority in terms of price and various preferential policies.
Mongolia's diplomatic strategy should be that Mongolia's neighbors, China and Russia, are countries with good international reputation and reputation, but they don't know how to maintain good relations with their neighbors. From time to time, they have quarrels and frictions with two neighbors. Obviously, most of their economy and trade depend on China and Russia, but most of their diplomatic energy is spent on the United States.
This time, the United States wants to import rare earths from Mongolia in order to better balance China and Russia in the future. Therefore, China and Russia will inevitably continue to suppress Mongolia and break their cooperation.
Mongolia's abacus is loud, but it ignores the geographical location. Mongolia is sandwiched between and almost surrounded by China and Russia. The United States has always had ulterior motives, and when its ambitions are not satisfied, it is bound to take it out on Mongolia, and Mongolia is likely to get burned.
