Chapter 821 complex mentality
Nowadays, due to the reality of Russia, Mongolia cannot rely on Russia's support. Although the United States and Japan, especially Japan, have great interest in Mongolia, want to participate in mining development in Mongolia and try to restrain China. However, only China can provide Mongolia with comprehensive development funds, technology and goods. Most importantly, China's Inner Mongolia is an important platform for China-Mongolia economic, trade and cultural exchanges, and other major countries do not have this advantage.
The reason why China and Mongolia have not yet launched deep-seated cooperation is mainly because China's domestic development is mainly the hottest in the southeast coastal areas, and there is no time to take care of the northwest at this time, and the gap between the two countries before could not be dissolved in a short period of time.
As Mongolia, I always worry that I will be assimilated by China. After all, this has a long history.
As China's neighbors, whether it is Mongolia, South Korea, North Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, or Vietnam, these countries have had a long affiliation with China. At the beginning, they were also a vassal state of the Celestial Empire, so after their own efforts, there must be some doubts, that is, whether they will always be shrouded under China's sphere of influence and lose their self-awareness.
After all, China's strength has begun to increase significantly in the past decade and its international influence has also increased. They cannot ignore whether it will be unfavorable to its own country's existence once China becomes stronger?
Therefore, Mongolia is still in a difficult situation when it hopes to establish a good cooperative relationship with China, but is also worried about attracting wolves into the house and eventually causing itself to lose its own position.
Domestic companies are not very enthusiastic about investment in Mongolia, but this is related to past publicity. In previous publicity, at least in Jiang Feng’s previous impression, it seems that Mongolia has nothing worthy of praise except cattle and sheep, yurts and grasslands. It is impossible to imagine that there are so many natural resources here that are coveted.
In fact, the top leaders have always been hiding the fact that Mongolia was born from China, so they naturally tend to describe it as a deserted place with no economic value and can only rely on relief. However, in fact, the resources here are even richer than in China.
Of course, if there are any flaws, it is that Mongolia's food and usage are basically completely dependent on imports from China, which is the biggest problem restricting their development.
Russians are too busy to take care of themselves, and China's attitude towards Mongolia determines their development speed.
The impression that Ulaanbaatar left on Jiang Feng, whether it is a person or a city atmosphere or a architectural style, is very similar to Kazakhstan, which was not yet developed. The signs on the street are either Russian or English. Only after listening to the introduction can you know that the regulations, billboards or signs can only be used in these two languages, so it is not easy to find a Chinese restaurant in Ulabaatar. Unlike in other countries, you can see the Chinese signs of Chinese restaurants from afar.
It is estimated that this regulation was actually made to de-Sinicize. In order to avoid trouble, most Chinese restaurants do not even write Chinese dishes, which ended up making many Chinese people who come here don’t know how to order dishes.
Jiang Feng and the others found a so-called Chinese restaurant with Chinese on the menu, but after they went in and had a meal, they couldn't convince themselves that they were eating Chinese food. After asking someone, they found out that the original Taiwanese boss had already left. A Korean took over, but they still had the Chinese restaurant sign hanging.
"No wonder, most of the customers in the restaurant are sticks, and even the side dishes before the meal are all dishes. I'm fooled this time!" Jiang Feng then realized why the food didn't taste like Chinese food. It turned out that this was an authentic Korean restaurant. What it means to sell dog meat with sheep heads hanging on it can finally fully understand.
Speaking of Koreans, they seem to be seen everywhere in Central Asian countries. There are many Korean restaurants on the street, from Seoul to these Central Asian countries, and the high-end hotels in these countries are also filled with Korean language, which really makes people unable to ignore their existence.
The same is true for Ulaanbaatar. The most decent building in the city is the Seoul Commercial Center, a place that concentrates office and life in the Korean business community. However, despite so many Koreans, the outside world still pays more attention to the Chinese people's every move in the local area.
Many Mongolians do not like Chinese people, which has historical reasons. Although most Mongolians are Mongolians, they are already very different from the Mongolians in Inner Mongolia.
The Mongolians here rarely speak Mongolian, and they are basically Russian and English. Their diet and life are different from those of Mongolians in Inner Mongolia. However, there is no supermarket here and there are not many fresh vegetables.
It can be said that many cities in Mongolia are not as good as a small town in China.
Mongolia is a country with a wise ruler. The parliamentary election is held every four years. However, while the wise ruler's election, it also brought turmoil to the country and did not solve the problem of corruption in Mongolia. A subordinate who had been in Mongolia told Jiang Feng that in Mongolia, anything can be done as long as he has money.
"I want a lot of things. Of course, I will not be stingy with them." Jiang Feng said to everyone with a smile, "We want to do a big business. We really won't look at my little money. Let them blackmail them. In a few years, the Canadian Centerragold Mining Company invested 75 million US dollars, and obtained the overall mining rights of the Mongolian **oroo gold mine and also obtained tax relief for the first five years. I am now planning to bribe 100 million US dollars in Mongolia to see if I can get more preferential conditions?"
The subordinate who was familiar with the Mongolian environment immediately smiled and said, "Boss, if you ask me to do this, you will probably be able to buy half of Mongolia. There is nothing here, but there is no shortage of corrupt officials!"
When Jiang Feng heard this, he immediately replied with great satisfaction: "That's really good! I like corrupt officials, especially corrupt officials in Mongolia. The more the better!"
Everyone is jealous of fat sheep, but it depends on whether the shepherd is responsible. If the shepherd can be bought by others, aren’t the fat sheep all in their own pockets?
For the Chinese, Mongolia is a special country. Because for a long time in history, Mongolia was once a part of China.
For Chinese people, Mongolia is another strange country. We are so ignorant of this neighboring country with a border line of more than 4,000 kilometers with us that some people in China are still wishful thinking about the possibility of "return".
"Return is 100% impossible. Whether it is the Mongolians or the Chinese in Mongolia, there will be no second answer to this question." The staff of the Embassy in Mongolia answered this way when receiving Jiang Feng and his group.
A member of Jiang Feng's escort asked curiously: "I heard that Mongolian Hular is discussing the issue of returning to China. Is this a full meal?"
"That's purely a good-looking person's painting cake to fill his stomach. The reality is that it's too late for the Mongolians to refuse China thousands of miles away, so how can I talk about throwing myself into my arms?" The staff member of the embassy replied, "Do you want to know where the Chinese are in the hearts of the Mongolians? What is the Japanese in the hearts of the Chinese and what is the Chinese in the hearts of the Mongolians? Chinese who have been to Mongolia have more or less unpleasant experiences. Before I came to Mongolia, my friend from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned me to be careful by myself, especially at night, to stay away from the drunken ghosts on the street."
Chinese companies in Mongolia are the biggest victims of this resistance. When a company in Shandong Province in Shandong Province was developing gold mines in Sukhbato Province, local environmental police and county magistrates often came to cause trouble. This year, at another project site of their company, local environmental police let all Chinese workers stand in a row, stand in the sun, and sit in their yurts to drink.
"This is an insult, but we have to swallow our anger, and other foreign-funded enterprises will not be treated like this." Li Deliang, the head of Zhengyuan Company, who came with the embassy staff to receive Jiang Feng and others, expressed his anger and helplessness about this.
An employee of Zhengyuan Company also said that this year he was stolen by a thief in Sukhbato Square. Unexpectedly, after he chased the thief, he was taken to the police station by the local police. The thief was let go and he was beaten instead.
"If it weren't for the fact that there was gold here, the genius would have come here. They deserved to be starved to death and poor!" The employee said with some resentment.
The staff of the embassy also said that Chinese and Mongolian mixed men in Mongolia generally do not take the initiative to talk about their Chinese ancestry to others, especially Mongolian officials with Chinese ancestry are even more secretive about this, because this is a dangerous move to ruin the political future.
The Mongolian media undoubtedly contributed to the various unfriendliness of the Mongolians to the Chinese. They often exaggerated the matters that were concentrated into one side, so that the Chinese embassy had to do some public relations to maintain China's image in Mongolia.
However, if the local newspaper reports positively about China, it will often make corresponding negative reports soon to neutralize it, which shows the social situation of its domestic readers. The same is true for the Mongolian political parties. In parliamentary elections, the wise rulers often become political bargaining chips during the election. In a wise ruler, this at least reflects the likes and dislikes of the local people.
Under such public opinion in Mongolia, the Chinese people's nationalists who demand that Mongolia return undoubtedly lack deeper thinking. The ancients said that only by knowing oneself and those who know oneself can win every battle, but these guys now do not know themselves or their opponents, and only care about themselves talking to themselves online, which is to be unfavorable.
