"What about pollution?" Usubayar said unconvinced.
Han Peacock laughed a few times and admitted that environmental problems do exist.
So Han Kongque said: "Now that international companies enter here, they need to meet international standards and have strict legal restrictions. These regulations can minimize environmental damage."
At this point, Han Peacock doesn’t want to continue. If he wants to attract investment, he has to make some sacrifices. Without such a spirit of sacrifice, how can there be development?
Haven't they seen that in the 1980s and 1990s, in order to develop in China, the sky became dark, the water became smelly, the air became smoggy, and even the land became toxic.
It turned out that the discovery of large mineral deposits was an opportunity, but now, the mineral project in Outer Mongolia is still waiting for approval, and now the Oyu Tolgoi project bill has not yet been voted on.
The bill promised to give the government a 34% stake. Since the bill was submitted to the parliament, there has been discussion about increasing the government's stake to 51%. This is a typical case of pushing the envelope.
However, there is nothing wrong with doing this for the sake of the country and the people, but there is a certain degree to it.
In this regard, the Outer Mongolia government has done a good job. In exchange, when the project builds a copper smelting furnace in the Gobi, the investing company will receive a one-time profit tax reduction of 68%.
Therefore, even if the government holds 51% of the shares, Australian mining owners still say they will advance the Oyu Tolgoi project.
The government holds a majority stake, which is common in the mining industry, so investors are waiting for the government to take the lead and make a decision to get started.
The Oyu Tolgoi project can boost Outer Mongolia's GDP growth by more than one-third, creating huge wealth for this steppe country with a population of 3 million.
No matter who ends up in power, getting the Oyu Tolgoi project approved has become the consensus of the vast majority of people.
However, things have changed, and the original high-quality projects, after being delayed again and again, have now become useless.
It’s not that copper mines are useless, but now even if there is more copper mines, they can’t be sold. Ultimately, it’s because China no longer imports ore in large quantities and unprincipledly.
Our understanding of Outer Mongolia has always been very superficial, because there is no channel to obtain real information. In fact, political information about Outer Mongolia has been blocked or covered up for a long time. All we or I know is nothing more than what happened during the cultural movement.
A little "ideological" conflict.
Having heard a lot of news, Han Peacock always believed that China and Mongolia were friendly before the "Wen Movement"; after the "Wen Movement", the "broken page" was turned over and became friendly again. He even believed that the Parliament of Outer Mongolia would return.
China's motion is, in fact, completely wrong.
Han Peacock and others entered Outer Mongolia and stayed around for a few days. What they heard, saw, and experienced was that the relationship between China and Outer Mongolia was not generally tense, but extremely tense.
Apart from official articles and high-sounding speeches, no one thinks that the relationship between China and Outer Mongolia is friendly, including some officials.
Embracing each other on the surface but scolding them on the inside, this is the reality of the political relationship between China and Outer Mongolia.
Han Peacock and the others drove 700 kilometers from Zamyn-Uud to Ulaanbaatar, with blue sky and white clouds all the way. At least 500 kilometers north from Zamyn-Uud was desolate desert, but in these once barren lands, there were hidden treasures.
With endless mineral deposits.
Of course, what Han Peacock and the others saw was not only the rich resources, but also all kinds of foreign affairs. Only then did Han Peacock and the others realize that Usu Bayar was one of the few Outer Mongolians who did not hate the Chinese.
.
However, facing foreign investors like Han Kongque and others who came to explore minerals, Usubayar would still show a hint of hostility from time to time. This was a hostility that ran deep into his bones.
With this understanding, Han Peacock will naturally ask for the reason, and Usubayar has nothing to hide. They not only hate the Chinese, but also hate the Russians.
Therefore, Outer Mongolia became the tears of ****, because Outer Mongolia is known as the 16th republic of the former Soviet Union. This is the reason why **** shed tears.
The fall of the Tsarist Empire and the Soviet Empire reduced Russia to a super second-rate country. The former Soviet Union's enslaving education to Outer Mongolia, as well as the former Soviet Union's 70 years of colonial rule over Outer Mongolia, made **** a little bit "less" towards Outer Mongolia.
The emotion of "reluctant attachment".
Russia's colonial rule over Outer Mongolia was very specific. The deputies in state management were all Russians; national leaders married Russian wives, such as the former leader of Outer Mongolia, Zedenbal; Russian became the official language; and Russian cultural reforms were carried out on the old Mongolian language.
, all look like Russian letters, this is the so-called New Mongolian.
There are many colonial traces that still remain, such as broad-gauge railways, electrical plugs (standard for electrical appliances), Mongolian Russian-style Western food, the Soviet Red Army monument, the remains of the Soviet barracks in Zamyn-Uud, and the tanks left by Saiyinshanda...
The more people know about Outer Mongolia, the more ridiculous Han Peacock feels.
In the early 1990s, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Outer Mongolia tried to restore the old Mongolian script (the Mongolian script we see in China). Since 70 years of history has changed two generations, it took only three years to restore the traditional national script.
It failed, and New Mongolian, alienated from Russian, is still the popular official script.
The colonial model of Outer Mongolia was like that of Manchukuo under Japanese rule. Puyi married a Japanese wife; the deputies and advisors of government agencies were filled with Japanese; the citizens collectively learned Japanese; and the production methods and lifestyles were all Japaneseized.
Whether Outer Mongolia recognizes it or not, they are still subjugated slaves under Soviet colonial rule despite their so-called "liberation" from the Manchu Empire and the Republic of China.
The "Manchu Dynasty" (different from our term "Qing Dynasty") ruled Outer Mongolia for more than 200 years. The independence in 1911 and the liberation in 1921 did not escape the fate of being ruled by foreign forces.
The so-called national hero Sukhbaatar was actually an agent of the Soviet Communist Party. He did not bring independence to Outer Mongolia, but instead helped the Soviet Union rule Outer Mongolia.
Sukhbaatar was the culprit who split China and promoted the independence of Outer Mongolia. On the way, Usubayar told Han Peacock that during the rule of the former Soviet Union, 70,000 nobles and elites of Outer Mongolia were massacred. The textbook only said 3
Thousands of people.
At that time, Outer Mongolia had a population of only 700,000. Violence, terror, and massacre were absolutely important and effective means of colonial rule. In order to achieve effective control, one-tenth of the citizens were massacred, which was extremely cruel!
Killing one person among ten people, and he was an elite, you can imagine how terrifying the scene was at that time.
I saw on TV that at the ceremony where the President of Outer Mongolia welcomed ****, **** listened to the Russian national anthem and shed tears. He wiped his tears several times. Maybe it was the wind and sand in Outer Mongolia that narrowed his eyes.
eyes.
The fall of the Soviet Empire is indeed a kind of sadness, and the helpless and decadent mood cannot be concealed.
I think back then, the Soviet Union had millions of troops stationed on the Chinese border. All cattle, sheep, horses and camels from Outer Mongolia were exported to the Soviet Union, and various mineral deposits continued to flow to the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact countries...
It is this kind of continuous export that created the glory of the former Soviet Union. It can be said that the glory of the former Soviet Union was entirely based on the flesh and blood of other controlled weak countries.
However, the wheel of history cannot be turned back, and the past cannot be restored. This may be the reason why **** shed tears.
So, do Outer Mongolians like Russians? Not necessarily.
But Mongolian people like Chinese people? Not necessarily.
There is anti-Chinese sentiment in Outer Mongolia, as well as anti-Russian sentiment, but the anti-Chinese sentiment is stronger.
The people of Outer Mongolia who have truly moved toward political independence through the disintegration of the Soviet Union have made their choice to be anti-Russian and anti-China.
The United States and Japan are their close partners, but China and Russia are not. They really want to get rid of the situation of living in the cracks between China and Russia. Unfortunately, their country cannot move!
Only when you truly enter Outer Mongolia can you understand this country and its sorrow, such as their national dream, the Mongolian dream.
There is an American dream in the United States, and now there is a Chinese dream in China. On August 22, 2014, the Chinese leader gave a speech to the Congress of Outer Mongolia and mentioned the Mongolian dream of Outer Mongolia.
What is the Mongolian Dream? It is not for us Chinese to have the final say.
What is the Mongolian dream of Outer Mongolians?
In fact, there is no need to think about it. Genghis Khan swept across Europe and dominated the world; the unification of Inner and Outer Mongolia, as well as the homeland of Mongolia in Siberia, was far more than one Russia.
Kublai Khan's vast territory of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan navy's expedition to Japan...
All we can say about all this is that they really dare to dream!
There are reports that the Outer Mongolians want to return to China. This is only a dream of the Chinese people, not the dream of the Outer Mongolians. Don’t believe it.
The center of Ulaanbaatar is Sukhbaatar Square, and the huge statue of Genghis Khan sitting in the center of the General Assembly Hall.
Genghis Khan's name and statues are everywhere in Outer Mongolia. Recently, the capital of Kent Province, Wendur Khan (where Lin Biao crashed) was renamed Genghis Khan. It is not difficult to see Outer Mongolia's ambition to dream of becoming a superpower!
Of course, it is good to have a sweet dream, but it is sad to have a sweet dream that cannot be realized, so this dream makes the people of Outer Mongolia have to fall into sadness.
Especially among the intellectuals in Outer Mongolia, thinking of Genghis Khan will make them stay up all night, stamp their feet, beat their chests, and cry loudly. This yearning or obsession fills their hearts with mania and hatred. How can such a group of people?
Will the parliament pass a resolution to annex China?
Ridiculous! The newly elected democratic government of the Democratic Party won votes and took power only because of its strong opposition to China and anti-China.
First of all, the Outer Mongolians believed that the Chinese had invaded their territory.
Outer Mongolia is independent, but Inner Mongolia is still within the territory of China. They believe that the country and nation are in a state of division. This is the fundamental reason why Outer Mongolians hate the Chinese, which is far more than the Chinese hatred of the occupation of Japan.
Hatred of the Japanese.
Although the Mongolian official has not expressed this view clearly, hatred can be seen everywhere, which is the fundamental reason why it is useless no matter how we talk about friendship. (~^~)
