Mongolian politics is changing.
This time the change of people, not just the change of people, the Mongolian wind, blows into the people's life!
Can you believe it? Mongolia, which once relied on mining to make a living and relied on the illusions of a "third neighbor", suddenly changed its way of living!
Without ideologies, without geospeculations, the newest president of the Mongolian People's Party, Amal Baisgrange, has given everyone a less "Mongolian" answer.
The former Mongolia, after the Cold War, thought about the "third neighboring country" and felt that there was not enough landscape between China and Russia, not to look for these "distant relatives" to support the scene, take this philosophy as the "third pillar" of the ruling country, and join NATO's "peace partnership" program, and again with the United States to engage in the "Khan exploration" joint military exercises, and even take the OSCE as a mountain, one thought to play balance in the game of the great powers, the result of the balance hasn't been understood, putting yourself down and out is not a person.
Former Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene even took this path to the end, bent on embracing the thighs of the United States. After signing a rare earth cooperation agreement, he dared to brag about getting rid of China and Russia, but he forgot that most of the global rare earth processing technology is in China's hands. As soon as China stopped supplying key chemicals, Mongolia's rare earth production dropped by 80% directly, which was equivalent to the fat meat obtained being rotted in the pot.
Economically, it has turned "relying on mining to eat" into "sitting on the mountain and eating nothing". Obviously, 30% of GDP depends on trade with China, and 92% of energy has to be imported from Russia, but it has to struggle with resource exports, and it has caused a mess.
The 6.5 million tons of coal smuggling case that broke out two years ago involved a total amount of US $12.9 billion, and even the former president was involved. However, instead of investigating it properly, the government was busy rushing to set up 14 committees and spending 30 billion Tugrik to install 90 cronies, all of whom were the former president's own people.
The people’s days are getting harder, with exports dropping 14.1 percent in the four months prior to 2025, 70 percent of livestock frozen in extreme climates, inflation rising to 19 percent, gasoline prices rising 66 percent, young people in the capital Ulaanbaatar are unemployed, and the country’s richest 10 percent own more than 40 percent of the wealth, and the poverty rate is close to 30 percent.
At the same time, O'Neil Yeldon was also filmed to house people to brush luxury goods, directly ignite people's complaints, the country only 3.5 million people, there were 40,000 people jointly report, the street protest jointly for 21 days, in the end the parliamentary confidence vote only got 44 votes, far from enough to the line, can only scatter the table.
It was not until the new chairman of the Mongolian People's Party, Amarbaysgraen, came to power that this chaotic atmosphere was put on the brake. This man did not circle around the "third neighbor" every day like his predecessor, but instead brought China and Russia back to their core positions. After all, the geographical location was determined by God, and they could not be moved or avoided.
When he was the speaker, he renewed the border trade agreement with China. After taking office, he stepped up the promotion of the second cross-border railway between China and Mongolia. He also took the initiative to talk about cooperation in minerals and renewable energy. He knew clearly who was the one who could really feed him.
It is also ambiguous about Russia, actively joining the Chinese-Russian economic corridor, looking at the transit business of the Chinese-Russian natural gas pipeline, on this transit fee in the future can account for 3-5% of GDP than with the Western air screaming slogans.
More importantly, he finally focused his eyes on the people's days.Before he was the president, he did little to do the real thing, to reduce taxes on small and medium-sized enterprises, to put down the price of loans, and also to do skills training to teach young people to learn new energy technologies, to know that the mining alone can not survive the nation.
Now just came to power and shouted "everyone is equal before the law", to fight corruption, after all, no matter what the insects that devour resources, the resentment of the people can not be suppressed.
He knew clearly that the root cause of Mongolia's troubles in recent years was that people's livelihood had not kept up. In the past, the government was either busy with geopolitics or was dragged down by corruption, turning the economy into a "big wind". In 2024, the GDP growth rate dropped by 3 percentage points compared with the previous year, and foreign investment fell sharply. If he did not find a way to improve people's livelihood, he would be the next person to be ousted.
Of course, this road is not so easy. There are still remnants of the former president in the party. Before, when he investigated the coal case, he was questioned by his colleagues for exceeding his authority. Now he has to manage the party and the parliament, and he has to straighten out the internal affairs before he can be an officer. Moreover, Mongolia's economy is too deeply dependent on resource exports. Whether Sino-Russian relations are good or not is directly related to the money bags of ordinary people. If the balance is not good, previous efforts may be in vain.
But no matter what, this substitution really blows Mongolia's wind into people's livelihood. Compared with the previous days of "relying on mining to make money and relying on distant relatives to support their face", it's finally a little "living". It looks like it is. After all, for a country with a population of 3.5 million, instead of being a pawn among major countries, it is better to build its own railways, solve young people's jobs, and stabilize prices on the table. These are practical things that can really retain the people's hearts. The foundation.
