    Nah, this isn’t about a ‘one-China policy’ but rather about money as coal-rich Mongolia aims to boost China trade ties despite dependence risk

    Mongolia hopes to boost trade by more than a tenth this ⁠year with China, the biggest destination for its exports of coal and minerals, setting a target that will further boost economic dependence on its giant neighbor.

    … China’s demand for Mongolian ‌coal is also likely to grow, [Xu Tianchen, senior analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit] said, after a mining disaster killed 82 people in northern Shanxi, putting pressure on domestic coal supplies.

    So it’s the typical turbo-capitalism with Chinese characteristics: money and political coercion.
