The ecological spirit of Mongolians is admirable and commendable, it is strikingly powerfully charged just as is Xi Jinping's thought on a green ecological society where nature is a supremely invaluable asset. If Mongolia and China unite their ecological will, there's no telling what lush nature and ecological benefits could be gained. China's efforts to control the desert have been successful and they are willing to share their experiences with Mongolia as I believe they have. Mining is a dirty business but China's commitment to nature is self evident and soon the Artificial intelligence, ecological solutions and 5G development, etc will solve many of the downsides of mining in Mongolia as they have in China.

[@yaozheng6925]

Very interesting point to blame China and bri for their environmental damage. But it's largely the failure of their environmental policy. In fact their environment was worsening well before the bri existed, it's not just mining but also overgrazing. This theory can be backed up by publicly available satellite images, while the Inner Mongolia has similar climate to them, it looks greener. More than ten years ago, there were already reports of starving wolves crossed the border to China just to find food. Also many sandstorm in northern China (and north east Asia in general) are originated in Outer Mongolia. In this sense, China has incentives to improve outermongol environment. In the video, the crews drove hours away from the mines on the grassland with no roads to met the herdswoman. She claimed she (and her family, maybe a small family) owns over 1,000 sheep and goats. The animals were eating on the grassland with no grass. This might be an evidence of unsustainable overgrazing. Talking about their anti china sentiment. Hatred is just a human design flaw. It's in fact the soviet who suppressed them in the early 20th century. But it turned out they fell in love with soviet. Looked at their language, it's completely "romanized", while the actual mongol is better preserved in china.

[@SillyLittleAshTree]

Your comment is very neutral and rings completely true, I thank you for your putting into words this valuable information. China is very demonised around the world, an extremely unwarranted depiction. And it's such a sorrowful shame, since the Chinese have such enormously good will and have shown themselves very efficient in development with many different programs that could help the very people that would like to put down China.

Another point on overgrazing, the video said those herders didn't engage in the economy and were self sufficient, how many thousands of heads of cattle could you need for a self sufficient family? Seems very needlessly detrimental to the environment, reminds me of the now gone Rapanui in Easter Island.

SO it was just one empire against another!

In order to get the Soviets to fight Japan - the west promised them they could get Outer Mongolia from China. The Nationalist Chinese balked but couldn't do anything. When the communists got into power they agreed to give up Outer Mongolia and then later Outer Manchuria. That's why if you read the constitution originally of the Republic of China in Taiwan - they still claimed those parts as part of China and didn't recognize the communists giving up those areas.

At the time of Genghis Khan, China had split into 3 separate Kingdoms for about 300 years. Genghis Khan united 2 of the Kingdoms, and made Beijing the Capital. The rest of China was united by his grandson, Kubla Khan, who built a precursor of the Forbidden City, and re-opened the Silk Road Trade with Europe. The Mongols had also conquered Russia, where they remained for about 350 years. The Russian Prince Trubetskoy wrote in the 1920's: "Our task is to create a completely new culture, our own culture, which will not resemble European civilization ... when Russia ceases to be a distorted reflection of European civilization ... when she becomes once again herself -- Russia-Eurasia -- the conscious heir to and bearer of the great legacy of Genghis Khan".

The first Great Wall protected against the Xiongnu; the last Great Wall protected against the Jurchens/Manchus. It's also a pretty enlightening piece of symbolism.

That's just low & wrong. To be realistic, the country has no choice but to rely on China for the next few decades. If Mr. LKY were alive, he probably could strike a better international deal with the Chinese & tighten the domestic regulations on the environmental & pollution enforcement policy. BTW The govt is really corrupted, if those politicians could do anything better for their people in the past few decades, they could have done it with the Soviet's help, but no, it remained a 3rd world country like. The politicians' pockets are loaded, with money in Private Bank in HK. I know because I worked for JPM PB in HK 10 years ago during the commodity boom & helped couple senior bankers to onboard the ex President & ministers to the bank platform as clients... Then the bankers got fired because the bank realized that those politicians were corrupt & money were dirty, how JPM handled the clients I don't know, because I moved to DB PWM.

Are there plans to use the truck drivers elsewhere on other development projects?

things I don't understand, why is Tenmujin such a celebrated character, but Adolf Hitler isn't.

[@resnica3557]

I asked exactly the same question during high school days, and of course, no teachers ever ventured to offer any response, let alone answers. After some years, I thought of this one of the possibilities, which is most likely to be the reason, that Tenmujin slaughtered much more people (including many instances of genocides of entire tribes, entire states, and so on. One typical example of genocide of the entire city state took place where modern day Uzbekistan is) and trashed and/or scorched much more cities, farm lands and fields, and states, and occupied the territories long enough than Adolf Hitler had ever been able to.

@CNA, and the host of this episode, At 04:00 min or so, "... that mongols rule all of China and that lasted for over 100 years...." It is ERRONEOUS. Mongols ruled China for 99 years, when the last Mongolian Emperor was driven out of China. Go do your study a bit more, if no other causes led to such erroneous statement. Films and narratives do not necessarily make a documentary. More often than not, they make noise and nuisance at their best, while tactless and insidious propaganda when deliberate and covert planting of misleading information to incite the worse elements of human nature is intended and orchestrated.

87 years, officially, and actual time of controlling is only 45 years, after 45 years yuan dynasty lost control of most part of china because people rising up against yuan govertment, in addtion, in that 45 years, only 11 years mongols controlled whole china, because after yuan founded in beijing, they spent another 34 year to attack south song dynasty in south part of china

[@boojoo10]

@@xinyiquan666 , actually Han chinese have never ruled Mongolia as whole (because nowadays they rule Inner Mongolia.) Both Mongolia and China were parts of Qing dynasty, which ruled by Manchu people. It's same thing as Ukraine and Baltic states were the parts of USSR. Mongolia declared its independence from Qing in December 29, 1911 and in January 1, 1912. Mongolia got its independence from Qing before Chinese did. Therefore, do your study more, before teach others!

My view about countries along the Silk Road Initiative, there is always a group of people who insists on building and financing by their own people but they didn't realize that they should have "know how, finance and technology" because for the last 50-60 years, they didn't build anything at all. Observing those bikers with expensive big motorcycles and attires means they are doing pretty well, I suspected Western countries stirred the situation to damage the relationship with China.

Is this a result of choice? China likes to take care of its minorities, but if mongolia wants to be a separate country responsible for itself then they are going to have todo things for themselves, China has obviously offered to help but they are going to have to make up their minds as to what they want and act like a government, someone has to set a budget and pay for something, nothing is for free in thi world so they can choose who is going to do its mining and control the income from that and decide to do economic work and stop complaining China too has budgets and will not force other governments to do its bidding so the money available should not be squandered and an independent country has no one else to blame but itself an it’s work ethic while not blaming other commercial partners- maybe they need lessons in nation building from someone who has their best intentions in mind. Nomads have spent too long just doing their own thing with no expectation of development that would make sense to a modern individual, thus making them easy prey to the unscrupulous. The interviewer is not helping the situation but just pointing out weaknesses with no solutions to offer anyone who could do something about the situation.

History is often surreal. In the case of Han-Mongolian relation history is really bizarre. The most powerful Mongolians in the 13th century has become a tiny speck in comparison to 1.4 billion non-Mongolian Chinese, mostly Hans.

[@RemoveChink]

Han policy has always been assimilated and destroy native cultures. Do you really think that all those people are actually Han?

[@woodensurfer]

@@RemoveChink It is simply social progress of a country to promote assimilation; native cultures will not be intact. The Hawaiian culture is destroyed by the US but Hawaiians should and will be happy about the demise of their integral culture. It is simply joy to assimilate and become a part of the social mainstream; elders' insistence on otherwise not withstanding. Daniel Akaka sponsored the Akaka Bill in 2000 to aim to preserve the Hawaiian culture, but the US Senate cited the American "tradition of assimilation" as it rejected the Akaka Bill. I support the US Senate's decison in rejecting the Akaka Bill: ethnic cultures are a hindrance to human happiness. Ethnic cultures have no value; their demise simply indicates human happiness in minorities fully integrating into society. Assimilation is the best for any countries, although some considerations should wisely be given to the mindset of elders within minority populations. The more I observe the more I realize that China's minority police has been quite progressive. The best policy is to promote assimilation subtly while mollifying the mindset of elders within minority groups. China's policy is rather apt, thus.

Mongolia needs China for everything cause they are landlocked, so without China, Mongolia would have a hard time. China needs Mongolia for it's natutal resources. If China cant get the resources from Mongolia then the consumers globally will have to pay more for the products they buy. Also decreasing the output of Chinese factories. All in all, Mongolia cant do much without China. Whereas, China will have some difficulty if trade with Mongolia stops but they can always get the resources from other part of the world.
