Anti-Corruption Protests Pressure the Government of Mongolia www.thediplomat.com

December 10 marked the sixth consecutive day of anti-corruption demonstrations at Sukhbaatar Square in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Among the many banners, slogans, and personal messages, protestors are demanding that Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai’s government unveil the hidden “coal mafia” to the public. The movement marks Mongolia’s second largest peaceful protests since 1991.
The demonstrations, which began on December 5, took place despite freezing temperatures reaching -30 degrees Celsius. The youth, not losing momentum, are pressuring the prime minister and the Ministry of Justice to comply with their demands. The sentiment and the ongoing protests are an illustration of the social dissatisfaction that fuels – and exhausts – Mongolian youth today. After years of injustice, inequality, and inefficiency, the Ministry of Justice now has to answer to the public.
Based on interviews with demonstrators at the Sukhbaatar Square, most were students free from political and business ties. In addition to the younger generation, however, representatives of various interest groups were also present. Some groups, who seemed to represent the faction of President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, were promoting a peaceful presence and retreat, seeking to prevent a possible escalation that could turn the demonstrations violent.
In another noteworthy development, the rally evolved into a mix of demographics. As the protest continued, more people showed up in support, bringing their own issues and complaints. Air pollution, high taxes, lack of job opportunities, missing coal, missing opportunities, corruption, and inequality are a few examples of the many concerns being voiced.
Artists and social influencers used social media tools to call for people to join the rally. Local small businesses and well-known activists brought warm food and teas to serve to the protesters. In connection with the latest anti-corruption demonstrations, Mongolians abroad began GoFundMe accounts in favor of the protesters. There is a sense of unity, support, and comfort.
Yet there is also a less seemly side. In the midst of the thousands of protesters who joined the rally in good faith, there are the corrupt ones – people holding cash, trying to bribe the protestors.
On December 10, during the “Discussion with Journalists” TV program, a female protester stated, “We sat in the front, on the cold cement. We had children coming from the back area and [they] informed us about people carrying cash to bribe the protestors.” Hearing this, Minister of Justice Nyambaatar Khishgee stated, “The department will look into this.”
In response to the public outcry, the Mongolian cabinet passed an emergency resolution to declassify nine projects implemented by Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi (ETT), the state-owned mining company at the center of the original allegations of coal industry corruption. Among the declassified information, specific topics include the Tavan Tolgoi-Gashuunsukhait and Tavan Tolgoi-Zuunbayan railroad project, its financial transactions, and certain contractual agreements and amendments made in 2019. Several former executives of ETT were arrested.
The declassified information involving the railroad is quickly turning into a political issue, as it involves former President Battulga Khaltmaa, who served as minister of roads, transportation, construction, and urban development during the time in question.
The government needs to abstain from politicizing the issue and tackle the details of who committed theft and how. This is no longer a government issue; it is a public issue.
Following the public’s demand to release the names of alleged coal thieves, Nyambaatar stated in a meeting with journalists: “I do not have the legal rights to release the medium and high-level ‘thieves’ by their names. My job and principle are to strengthen the legal, justice system of Mongolia, however you disrespect and come at me.”
On a number of social media platforms, people are sharing unverified stories of corruption in the coal and mining industries, many involving mining conglomerate families. Some posts even referred back to the 2016 Panama Papers, which involved former Prime Minister Batbold Sukhbaatar’s offshore accounts. Batbold still serves as a member of parliament.
From a broader perspective, the overall frustration and anger of the Mongolian people are understandable. Since the mining boom in 2011, inequality between the rich and the working class has skyrocketed, whether viewed in terms of the income gap or overall purchasing power.
In assessing Mongolia’s current economic and corruption climate, the dilemma here is that the mining conglomerates play a major role in decision-making and contribute tremendously to the national economy at large. The obvious unfortunate part of this dynamic is that the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. This six-day demonstration is stems from this larger problem: The Mongolian people have had enough and they want equality. By taking to the streets they are saying, enough is enough; no more leeway and no more special treatment for the coal thieves.
In an interview with the Zuv.mn on Facebook Live, a young female protester spoke for many when she said the current government’s actions will not be enough. Catching one thief with another is not a real solution to Mongolia’s corruption. The protesters further asked why she and her fellow colleagues are struggling to live in today’s Mongolia despite her higher education and foreign language skills. Why, she asked, must she live a restless life, working three jobs, while others are stealing millions and continue to flourish in the current political and business system?
The people of Mongolia want the Oyun-Erdene administration to unveil the corrupt system that has protected these mining conglomerates, particularly state-owned enterprises such as Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi. The people of Mongolia do not want to hear political rhetoric or narratives; they want to see crystal-clear action from the Ministry of Justice and, more generally, from the Office of the Prime Minister.

United States provided specialized inspection equipment to Mongolia’s General Authority for Border Protection and General Customs Administration www.mn.usembassy.gov

On December 9, the United States provided specialized inspection equipment to Mongolia’s General Authority for Border Protection and General Customs Administration for use in examination of vehicles and cargo arriving in Mongolia at official ports of entry. The inspection equipment is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau for International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN) Export Control and Border Security (EXBS) program. The equipment includes CT40 kits and accessories that will allow inspectors to examine vehicles and cargo to detect products that may be smuggled into Mongolia. The goal of the EXBS program is to prevent the proliferation of dual-use commodities that could be used for the production of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). The use of this inspection equipment will help strengthen Mongolia’s national security and deter malign actors from acquiring dual-use products controlled by international export control regimes.

USA women place fourth at world cup, falling to talented Mongolia team, 7-3; Hedrick, Piearcy and Guilford win bouts www.teamusa.org

CORALVILLE, Iowa - The United States placed fourth overall at the 2022 World Cup, dropping their third-place match to a powerful Mongolia team, 7-3. The USA, which placed second in Group A on Saturday, finished with a 1-2 team record.
This match-up came after a roaring 6-4 win over the All-World Team last night which earned them a spot in the medal round.
Team USA won three matches, all from team members who are California natives. There were a number of close losses, which were key in the final outcome.
Alex Hedrick, a U23 World bronze medalist this year, defeated Mongolia’s Erdenesuvd Bat Erdene at 57 kg. Hedrick earned the first point with a step out but trailed 4-1 at the break following a four-point move by the Mongolian. Hedrick picked up a takedown and then scored on a clutch counter attack to make the score 4-4. Bat Erdene still led by criteria with 30-seconds left in the match. Hedrick forced the action, wrestling upper body, and earned a step out point in the final second. The Mongolian lost their challenge, making Hedrick’s final score 6-4.
At 68 kg, Solin Piearcy prevailed over Purevsuren Ulziisaikhan, 2-0. Piearcy is a member of the Senior National Team, and is a past WCWA and NAIA champion for Menlo College. She scored both of her points after Ulziisaikhan was placed on the shot clock and could not score,
2022 World Team member and U23 World silver medalist Dymond Guilford wrapped up the 76 kg match with an explosive 10-0 technical fall over Burmaa Ochirbat. Guilford scored on a blast double leg right into a series of leg laces. The win showcased Guilford’s signature energy and enthusiasm.
The Mongolian team showed their strength from the opening matches, scoring three straight wins to start off the dual meet. Otgonjargal Dolgorjav (50 kg) and Otgonjargal Ganbaatar (53 kg) earned bonus points over Erin Golston and Felicity Taylor, respectively.
The 55 kg matchup between 2021 World bronze medalist Jenna Burkert and Olympic bronze medalist Bolortuya Bat Ochir came down to the wire. Burkert forced a pushout before Bat Ochir put together a takedown and exposure of her own. Trailing 4-1 in the second period, Burkert forced wrestling upper body resulting in a whirlwind exchange of points. Once sorted, the Mongolian won by a tight 7-6 decision.
Many matches included World-level medalists from both teams.
Past World champion Tserenchimed Sukhee of Mongolia bested two-time World silver medalist Kayla Miracle at 62 kg. This was followed by an intense 65 kg match between Orkhon Purevdorj, a past Senior world champion and two-time World bronze medalist Mallory Velte that ended in a 9-6 decision for Purevdorj.
Mongolia’s final win came at 72 kg, as Davaanasan Enk Amar defeated Skylar Grote, 7-1.
The championship match will feature Ukraine and China, set for 4:00 p.m. CT, live on FloWrestling.

Protesters in Mongolia divided in their demands to authorities www.tass.com

Participants in the protests that have been held in Mongolia for the eighth day in a row are divided in their demands to the authorities and begin to split into groups and argue with each other, a TASS correspondent reported on Sunday from a rally in Ulaanbaatar’s central square.
Several people held a sit-down strike at the stairs leading to the central entrance to the government building during the night from Saturday to Sunday. These people chanted the slogans demanding the names of high-ranking corrupt officials and coal embezzlers be made public.
People of the older generation gathered at a rostrum with a microphone near an ice village. They demanded the dissolution of the parliament, raising their voices in favor of an electoral reform and a bicameral parliament.
Younger participants in the rally flocking around the Sukhe Bator statue call for the resignation of the government.
Despite their different demands, the protesters from time to time get together and march along the square’s perimeter. They say it helps them keep warm, especially after dark, when air temperatures drop to 35 degrees below zero.
Protests in Mongolia’s capital city began on December 4, when people gathered in the central square demanding those responsible for exporting coal to China without any oversight from customs control, be named. The demonstrators claimed that there were high-ranking officials among them. The total sum of the theft is said to exceed 12.8 billion US dollars. On December 5, the protesters tried to storm the government building. On December 7, the Mongolian prime minister announced the establishment of a working group to investigate the case, which will include up to 100 protesters along with government officials.

China's largest unconventional gas field daily output hits 100m cubic meters www.news.cgtn.com

China's largest unconventional onshore gas production field, located in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has reached daily output of 100 million cubic meters, PetroChina said on Saturday.
Operated by PetroChina, China's largest oil and natural gas producer, the Sulige Gas Field located north of the Ordos Basin in Inner Mongolia is the main source of gas supply to the Beijing-Tianjin area and cities around Inner Mongolia.
The new daily gas production output record can supply the daily gas demand of 50 million households.
The Sulige Gas Field is characterized by its low porosity and low permeability tight sandstones, creating perfect condition for containing tight gas, a principal natural gas resource for gas reserves and production growth in China.
It has a proven gas reserve of 4.77 trillion cubic meters and its annual gas output had exceeded 300 billion cubic meters as of 2021.

China, Mongolia aim to stop spread of shared desert that threatens mining and agriculture on both sides www.scmp.com

China and Mongolia intend to renew their joint effort to stop the spread of dangerous desertification that poses a growing threat to mining and agriculture on both sides.
President Xi Jinping told his Mongolian counterpart, Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh, in late November that China was ready to discuss establishing a “cooperation centre” to combat desertification, according to the Chinese foreign ministry.
And to that end, the two sides signed a “cooperation document”, the ministry said on its website.
The spread of arid land on the Mongolian side is caused by a combination of environmental and human factors, and most of its vast grasslands are vulnerable amid rising temperatures and decreased precipitation resulting from climate change.
The cooperation agreements reflect how the neighbouring countries will work together to restore degraded pasturelands and increase forest cover, Mongolia’s presidential foreign policy adviser, Odbayar Erdenetsogt, told the Post.
Both sides will also team up on research and in the deployment of “innovative technology” to prevent soil erosion, Erdenetsogt said on Wednesday.
Their cooperation centre will offer “professional and methodological assistance” in choosing trees and other plants that are best for degraded pasture land or land at risk of desertification, he added.
Cooperation is likely to create new forest coverage in Mongolia, with work to start as soon as possible, said Batshugar Enkhbayar, a Mongolian legislator.
The spread of deserts hurts agriculture by eroding topsoil that’s key to planting, said Ma Jun, founding director of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, a non-governmental advocacy group in China. Overfarming and overgrazing of livestock are also partly to blame for the desertification, Ma added.
Massive sandstorm in northwest China plunges towns into darkness
Damaged land, in turn, produces little grass for livestock while leaving animals unprepared for extreme cold spells, which occur ever more often, the International Monetary Fund said in a 2019 report.
Unchecked mining can erode and contaminate soil. The overdrafting of groundwater and surface water may dry up whole lakes and leave a layer of alkaline dust, Ma said. And in turn, some of the changes in water supplies disrupt mining.
The two nations face an expanding desert on the Mongolian side, where climate change and mining are faulted for drying out vast tracts of land just north of the Chinese border. Dust storms and sandstorms from the deserts further complicate mining and snarl farm work. Some storms blow dust into Beijing, South Korea and farther east.
Sandstorms have decreased over the past four decades, but a pair in March 2021 reignited concerns, according to one China Meteorological Association study. In another sign of a drier climate, a forest fire that started in Russia burned about 600 metres along the Sino-Russian border five years ago.
“The degree of desertification has intensified, due to a chronic rise in temperature as well as the rapid growth of mining and grazing activities in Mongolia,” said Xu Tianchen, a China economist with the Economist Intelligence Unit in Beijing. “The expansion of deserts in Mongolia will further erode land that would otherwise be available for urban development and agriculture.”
In China, the vast north-central region of Inner Mongolia just south of the Mongolian border has about 61 million hectares (150 million acres) of desertified land, the official Xinhua reported in 2021.
Afforestation – the conversion of abandoned and degraded agricultural lands into forests – has raised Inner Mongolia’s tree coverage rate to 23 per cent, and its grassland coverage to 45 per cent, Xinhua said. Grazing is also banned on some 27 million hectares.
Reforestation efforts spanning about 40 years, along with curbs on grazing, have controlled desertification on the Chinese side, Xu said.
But in the nation of Mongolia, 76.8 per cent of land is “exposed to desertification” because of natural causes, “irresponsible mining” and the “misuse of pastures”, according to a 2020 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health study.
The study found a degradation of land due to an increase in livestock numbers, and it pointed to “natural climatic” factors and a “significant” increase in degraded land since 2010.
“It is safe to say that global warming has affected Mongolia in the past years,” Enkhbayar said, citing overall “drier” conditions in the country. Mongolia already counts the pre-existing, 1.3-million-sq-km (500,000 square miles) Gobi Desert as a third of its land mass.
The grazing of sheep, goats and other livestock employs one in four Mongolians. In Inner Mongolia, animal husbandry makes up 46 per cent of all agricultural and resource-extractive industries, which account for about 11 per cent of the regional economy.
The Mongolian government began cracking down on artisanal mining – also known as “ninja mining” – around 2010 because of the environmental damage it caused. Now the country needs “sustainable mining” to keep the core industry running without hurting the environment, Enkhbayar said.
Mongolia’s mines – the source of coal, copper and gold for much of the world’s top multinational mining companies – make up a quarter of its gross domestic product.
Other industries, including manufacturing, will shun newly formed deserts because of the costs to operate there, said Zhao Xijun, associate dean of the School of Finance at Renmin University in Beijing.
“Desertification makes it hard to use the soil for anything, including factories,” Zhao said. “It costs more to build there and transport food, water and so on.”
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang told a Mongolian official in October 2021 that he hoped to do more together toward curbing desertification, Xinhua reported at the time.
As China continues planting trees, 23% of the country is now covered in forest
The degree of damaged land in Mongolia, and a lack of resources in the relatively small, impoverished country, may have hampered any efforts so far to make good on the 2021 pledge, analysts say.
“They’re more constrained by the resources, and they do have a lot of mining going on,” Ma said.
China can offer Mongolia technical expertise and project financing to ease desertification, Xu said, adding that it should consider making investments that cut environmental impacts or that promote industries other than grazing and mining.
Chinese officials should share with Mongolia their own experience that dates back decades, Zhao said. He noted how China has experience with tree-planting, how it left tracts of farmland fallow for 20-plus years to avoid soil depletion, and how it relocated people who live in the emerging deserts.
In 2021, Mongolia began a national effort to plant 1 billion trees by 2030 to fight deforestation and climate change.
“In past decades, China has made progress, although mostly within its own border,” Xu said. “Efforts on the Mongolian side has been limited by the expanse and severity of land degradation, which presents an outsized challenge and requires multilateral collaboration.”
