"A few grains of rice lost when eating in China is enough for us to spend the winter." "Why did Mongolia want independence in the first place? Look at today's China, look at today's Inner Mongolia, and look back at us, we are like abandoned orphans!" This is not a sigh in history books, but a recent sincere question from a Mongolia netizen on social platforms. One short sentence exploded the hearts of many netizens and made many people re-examine the cost and significance of "independence".
Mongolian countries are scarce, and resources are not small, but economically, there is always no wasteland.
Some netizens joke: “The Mongolian state has a navy, because the mind is all water.”
With a population of 3 million, the land is one-sixth the size of China, and its geographical location can be called a "golden channel," but the reality is that "wealth lies in the land but poverty lies in the hands."
Minerals sold a lot, sheep also raised a lot, the tourism industry has bright spots, but the national economy has always been like a "thin car broken", a leg can not reach the threshold.
Not to mention the desertification has intensified in recent years, many shepherds even mocked "no more change, only to drink sand to survive."
Inner Mongolia next door has the same prairie and the same ethnic group, but as soon as you enter Hohhot, Ordos and Baotou, there are many high-rise buildings and wide roads, and the per capita GDP is a few blocks behind Mongolia.
Herdsmen in Inner Mongolia use new energy and mechanized farming. They can brush short videos and shop online on their mobile phones. It is no longer a dream for children to study in cities.
Contrary to Mongolia, the capital of Ulaanbaatar is a round of Mongolian bags, and in winter heating relies on burning coal, infrastructure is difficult to say.
Some say that the Mongolian problem is not money, it is “split survival.”
Pro-China, Russia is not pleased; pro-Russia, China is not comfortable in the heart; wanting to rely on the United States, the result is China and Russia together "side-side".
Sandwich geography, want to turn to the source, but can not rely on death anywhere.
The daily work of the Mongolian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to look at Beijing's face while trying to figure out Moscow's thoughts, and to guard against the United States handing over "sugar-coated cannonballs" from time to time.
As a result, no one dares to offend, no one dares to approach, and finally becomes an "international orphan".
Mongolia does not lack resources, such as copper, gold, coal and rare earth.
However, most of the minerals have to be transported by China and Russia. The local industrial chain is as thin as paper. The wool comes from sheep, and all the profits are taken away by big buyers.
The tourism industry wants to do it, but there are too many hardware shortcomings, and there are not as many tourists entering and leaving as a flag county in Inner Mongolia next door.
The country wanted to develop some "independent brands", but the market was small and consumption power was weak. In the end, it still sold mines and sheep.
Mongolia's predicament today is not all the fate brought by "independence".
More importantly, times have changed. If small countries cannot seize development opportunities, no matter how many resources they have, they will be difficult to realize.
China and Mongolia could complement each other, with a large market, strong technology, more resources and a good environment.
However, limited by history, geography, and interference by external forces, Mongolia is always at the crossroads of "whether to get close to China."
But the reality is that the longer this card is played, the farther it is from "happiness".
Sometimes the “face” of a country is important, but the “days” are more important.
The phrase "abandoned orphan" by netizens in Mongolia is actually a reflection of the helplessness of a small country between them.
On the chessboard of the big power game, everyone wants to be a chess player, but often they can only be a pawn.
Some netizens said: “If Mongolia could cooperate well with China, it would have long been out of poverty and rich.”
There are also some whispers: "There are so many resources, and the result is that the country is still poor, it's really a question of thinking."
Mongolian netizens also mocked themselves: “We are close to anyone being defended, nobody dares to be ‘father’.”
“The Mongolian state has a naval force because they have more imagination than GDP.”
This "independence" matter, the bigger thing is called self-reliance, the smallest thing becomes "orphan". grassland is bigger, eating warm is hard reason.
The country's choice is sometimes not "can do whatever it wants", but where world rules and practical interests push it.
Mongolia has repeatedly jumped sideways in recent years, in fact, looking for "shoulders to rely on." Unfortunately, geography, history, and reality are too tightly tied. If you want to eat meat, you must have soup first.
They no longer "break the good cards", the Mongolian mindset within the multi-education, maybe the day can soon rewrite.
What do you think of the "independence regret theory" of netizens in Mongolia? Do you think Mongolia has a chance to achieve an economic counterattack?
