Our northern neighbor Mongolian , has a big deal.
Read media reports that a few days ago, thousands of people gathered on Sukhbaatar Square in the center of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. These people held slogans and shouted slogans to demand the disbandment of the Mongolian Parliament. Some protesters even tried to attack the government building " National Palace ". Although the demonstrations temporarily subsided on the same day under the forced dispersion of the government, if the fundamental problem is not resolved, the situation will continue to deteriorate, and peaceful protests may gradually lead to violent conflicts and even bloody incidents.
Why are the people so angry?
is said to be due to two factors: on the one hand, the inflation rate is too high. Due to the dual impact of the epidemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Mongolia's inflation rate has soared to 15.2%, and the weak economy has made people generally dissatisfied; on the other hand, Mongolia's anti-corruption agencies recently announced a major corruption case, and a large number of officials used coal mines to make illegal profits, and it is said that they "stole" billions of dollars in coal income.
My own life is getting worse and worse, while these officials use the country's property to eat, drink and have fun. Under such psychological gap, more and more people are unable to suppress their anger, so they take to the streets to vent their dissatisfaction.
Overall, this is a domestic problem in Mongolia, and we can't say anything, but the timing of this riot is really a coincidence, and it is difficult not to make people have bad associations.
Why is it called a coincidence?
First of all, Mongolian President happened to visit China last month. During his visit to China, China and Mongolia signed a series of cooperation agreements covering multiple fields such as economy, trade, energy, agriculture, etc., and a new railway between China and Mongolia has just been opened. It can be said that this is the rapid development of China-Mongolia relations, and Mongolia can also turn to a decline. When taking the Chinese train to revitalize the domestic economy, chaos broke out in Mongolia at this time, and serious riots broke out. Do you think this taste is familiar?
Secondly, this time riots broke out in Mongolia, The US Embassy can actually "predict the future". Before the massive riots broke out, the U.S. Embassy in Mongolia issued early warnings to local U.S. government personnel and citizens, reminding them to avoid demonstrators and areas. Although the protests in Ulaanbaatar have lasted for several days, the previous protests were small in scale, few in numbers, and they were not a climate. No one would have thought that such a large-scale riot would break out the next day. The US Embassy could "predict" this time and issued a warning. To be honest, it was a coincidence.
And there is another detail in this incident. Mongolia's corruption incident was proactively announced by anti-corruption agencies. Logically speaking, if a state agency announces a corruption incident, it will naturally be severely punished in the future and will also give the people an explanation. What's more, Mongolia is about to take the China train, and the economic recovery is almost a foregone conclusion. Since that is the case, why is the anger of the people so difficult to suppress? Behind this, there must be someone who is fanning the flames and trying to make things worse. It is best to take this opportunity to delay or even disrupt the cooperation between China and Mongolia. Maybe, seeing these Mongolian people hit the National Palace, the United States is already secretly happy behind the scenes. (Masto)
