"There used to only be bread and salt on our stalls. The transition has been very quick", explains Dagvadorj, one of Mongolia's richest businessmen. Of 3 million Mongolians, half live in the capital; there has been a rural exodus since a new consumerist way of life has emerged. While many have prospered as Mongolia grows rich, from globalisation, and inward investment; wealth inequality is extreme "with one third under the poverty level". A tale of two Mongolia's is emerging. As economist Danbadarjaa claims: "prosperity is not felt by every family". As Mongolia races forwards, for the "nomads crammed into the yurt slums that surround Ulan-Bator, poverty and alcoholism are rife" Tuul Saruula, claims. A fashion designer she signifies the new rich Mongolia. But as Mongolia develops, huge challenges remain.

Mongolia was not a Soviet Republic. It was an independent socialist country like China or Cuba.

Correction: Mongolia was never a Soviet republic.

@littledikkins2 7 лет назад

They did but it was never a part of the Soviet Union.

not officially because not even the russians wanted it. learn the meanings of DE JURE and DE FACTO. Mongolia was built and owned by the USSR

@SubutaiPictures 5 лет назад

For example kazakhstan, Ukrain are part of soviet republic. But Mongolia was independent country. They had un status that time. So don't talk about that shitty things. Forefathers of Mongolian people were so smart. They make really good strategies between china and russia. That's why they never been part of USSR

Mongolia was independent from China in the last century. At the time, the Soviet Union had planned an independent referendum with Mongolian leaders in order to disintegrate China. 99.9% of Mongolians wanted independence. Since the history has already taken place, China does not want to change the status quo and hopes that Mongolia will never return to China. Moreover, China's purchase of Mongolian coal and resources is paid, and it provides Mongolia with an export port, not plunder. If Mongolia does not welcome China, it can break diplomatic relations with us. In addition, Mongolians overgraze, most of the grassland desertification, sandstorms blow every year to China Beijing and South Korea, Japan, hope Mongolia can control desertification effectively.

@kemuyun5554 2 года назад

Because the Mongolian Communist Party and the Soviet Union killed all the Mongolians who did not want independence

@PowersOfDarkness Год назад

I hope Mongolia can draw in ecological cooperation with their neighbors, everyone benefits from fighting desertification.

@theorientguy2006 6 лет назад

Mongolia is always at the mercy of her neighbor. China and Russia. If both border shall close, mongolia is doom.

@Brandonhayhew 4 года назад

Mongolia economy would be in trouble and the currency would lose its values and the unemployment would sky rocket and resource are not nationalized. Mongolia resources goes to 35% copper and coal goes tot China. Climate change killed many of their herds and many end up in the slums.

@hirokidabar4655 4 года назад

@@Brandonhayhew Wrong. A country with the rights to its own resources and production becomes a powerhouse almost overnight. WW2 Germany for example, in 3 years became a world power. Mongolia would have 0 unemployments if the borders closed and all exports were diverted back into the country and the fake useless money was taken out of the picture.

@donkeykong516 6 лет назад

Mongolia cannot transport w/o going through China or Russia & flights have to go through Chinese or Russian air space. With only 3 million people, it’ll split b/w Russia & China. Mongolia is cold & barren so from beginning of time it could not support sizable population.

@turuus5215 Год назад

Why doesn’t Germany or Japan have a lot of bad karma? Their recent war crimes took many lives of tens of millions. You’re just biased af. It’s a matter of geography. Japan is an island, it can thrive in world trade and doesn’t depend on any country. Germany sits in a center of Europe which is already rich part of the world and have great accessibility to ocean. Both, Japan and Germany were heavily aided by US in rough times, the world’s richest nation. Mongolia doesn’t have ocean access and depends highly on great bullies. Where is the US? Don’t say that.
