Vaccine efficacy in Mongolia – data published www.news.mn

The National Statistical Office (NSO) of Mongolia reported yesterday (22 July), the results of a survey on the vaccination situation in the country.
As of 5 July, 35.5 percent of all reported Covid-19 in the country, were people who had been vaccinated. The report reveals that 27.9 of those confirmed with coronavirus were fully vaccinated whilst 7.6 percent of them have received the first doses; the remaining 64.5 percent were unvaccinated.
The study indicates that 81.4 percent of the Mongolian population aged above 15 has been fully vaccinated. The NSO document also reveals that seven in ten people in Mongolia get Covid-19 vaccine made by China’s Sinopharm. However, only 1.9 percent of those vaccinated with Verocell vaccine by Sinopharm contracted coronavirus; this can be contrasted with the efficacy rates of 2.4 percent with Sputnik-V, 3.5 percent with AstraZeneca, 6.8 percent with Covishield and 0.9 percent with Pfizer.

Russia inks $1.2 billion-worth of military contracts at MAKS 2021 Air Show www.rt.com

Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport signed 13 contracts totaling $1.2 billion on the sidelines of the MAKS 2021 international air show, the company’s CEO Alexander Mikheyev told reporters.
“Rosoboronexport used the MAKS 2021 potential to its maximum," Mikheyev said.
The list of deals includes orders for the Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jet, the Mi-35M and Mi-17B5 helicopters, Protivnik-GE radars, Verba surface-to-air missile (SAM) MANPADS and a variety of modern air defense weapons and armored vehicles.
According to Mikheyev, the company used the air show to demonstrate its most advanced models of aircraft, helicopters, anti-aircraft and electronic warfare equipment, to more than 30 delegations from 20 countries, mostly from the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
“During negotiations at MAKS 2021, the company's foreign partners showed interest in purchasing MiG-35D and Su-30SME fighters, Il-76MD-90A (E) military transport aircraft, Il-78MK-90A tanker aircraft, the Mi 28NE, Ka-52 , Mi-171Sh and Ka-226T helicopters, as well as air defense systems, including the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system,” he specified.
Mikheyev also noted that international partners showed interest in Russia’s newest supersonic stealth fighter Checkmate, which was unveiled at MAKS-2021.
“A number of partners saw it live and were even given the opportunity to sit in the cockpit, and were highly impressed,” the CEO recalled.
The single-engine supersonic stealth fighter Checkmate is scheduled for its first test flight in 2023, with further prototypes being produced through 2025 and serial production set to launch in 2026.

Mongolian sumo wrestler Terunofuji G.Gan-Erdene promoted to Yokozuna www.montsame.mn

Mongolian sumo wrestler Terunofuji G.Gan-Erdene was officially named sumo’s 73rd Yokozuna, the sport’s highest rank, today.
The decision was unanimously made by the Board of Directors of the Japan Sumo Association during its extraordinary meeting held today.
The 29-year-old Mongolian sumo wrestler Terunofuji G.Gan-Erdene won his first-ever title at the 2015 Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, securing his first promotion to Ozeki. However, he demoted from the rank and dropped down to a lower division as his knee injuries prominently affected his performances. He earned back his Ozeki title in about two years by continuously climbing through the rankings.
He finished the recent Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament with a 14-1 record.
With the decision, he becomes the first wrestler in four-and-a-half years to be promoted to Yokozuna, following Kisenosato, who has retired.

Olympics: Tokyo 2020 chief does not rule out cancelling Games www.bbc.com

The head of the Tokyo 2020 organising committee has not ruled out cancelling the Olympic Games.
Toshiro Muto said he would keep an eye on infection numbers and hold "discussions" if necessary.
More than 70 people associated with the Games have tested positive ahead of Friday's opening ceremony.
His comments came on the same day International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said cancellation was "never an option".
Earlier this month, Japan announced the Games would go ahead in empty stadiums - despite growing concern over the Covid situation.
"We will continue discussions if there is a spike in cases," said Mr Muto when asked at a press conference if the Games might be cancelled even at this late stage.
"At this point, the coronavirus cases may rise or fall, so we will think about what we should do when the situation arises."
Although the Games don't officially begin until Friday, the sporting action has kicked off with the women's softball and football competitions starting on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, two South African footballers staying in the athletes' village tested positive for coronavirus. A Czech beach volleyball player later tested positive for the virus.
A total of 71 people accredited for the Tokyo Olympics, including those accredited for the Games, have now tested positive for the virus.
The 2020 Olympics and Paralympics were postponed for a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It's the first delay in the 124-year modern history of the Games.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is due to be held on 23 July, though the first event of the Games - a softball game between Japan and Australia - took place on Wednesday.
The Olympics will end on 8 August, with the Paralympic Games due to start on 24 August and to end on 5 September.
But there has been public anger over coronavirus restrictions.
People in Japan are also concerned about the influx of tens of thousands of people associated with the event and the impact they could have on infection rates.
Host city Tokyo is facing a fresh surge of infections, with 1,387 cases recorded on Tuesday.
Japan is currently under a state of emergency which will be in place until 22 August.
Organisers are "concentrating 100% on delivering successful Games", a Tokyo 2020 spokesperson said after Mr Muto's comments on Tuesday.

US High-Level Diplomat Visits Japan, South Korea, Mongolia www.thediplomat.com

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman is making a tour of East Asia this week. She is currently in Japan, where she will take part in bilateral meetings as well as a trilateral discussion involving the vice foreign ministers of Japan and South Korea. From Tokyo, Sherman will travel to South Korea and then on to Mongolia.
“Throughout the trip, the Deputy Secretary will reaffirm the U.S. commitment to working with allies and partners to promote peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and to upholding the international rules-based order,” the State Department said in its travel announcement. Predictably, COVID-19 and climate change will also feature high on the agenda during all three stops.
Sherman has already met with her Japanese counterpart, Vice Foreign Minister Mori Takeo. According to the State Department read-out, the two discussed a wide range of issues, from the Japan-U.S. alliance to North Korea, Myanmar, climate change, COVID-19, and securing supply chains.
Next up is a trilateral meeting involving Sherman, Mori, and South Korea’s Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-kun. North Korea will be a major focus of that meeting, but “climate change and global health” will be on the agenda as well, representing the Biden administration’s bid to elevate trilateral cooperation beyond the narrow field of security. The talks, however, will have to overcome severe strains in Japan-South Korea relations, as evidenced by Korean President Moon Jae-in’s decision not to visit Tokyo for the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games later this week.
Mongolia, another East Asian democracy, will be Sherman’s next stop. Despite keen interest in Ulaanbaatar to expand cooperation with the United States, particularly trade, Washington has not devoted as much attention to the relationship. A planned stop-over by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in October 2020 was cancelled after then-President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19. As deputy secretary of state, Sherman’s visit won’t have quite the same heft, but it is still the most senior visit from a U.S. State Department official since 2016.
However, Sherman will have to tread carefully in Ulaanbaatar. Mongolia is not keen to be drawn into the China-U.S. competition and will be ultra-sensitive to any suggestion that Washington is seeking to make Mongolia take sides. Sherman’s stated goals “to promote peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and [uphold] the international rules-based order” may sound benign, but that language has taken on the baggage of containing implied digs at China.
China’s Xi Jinping called Mongolia’s new President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa on July 16 to reinforce that “China and Mongolia are friendly neighbors” and should work together “to strengthen coordination and cooperation, uphold true multilateralism, and build a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation.”
Despite previous reporting that Sherman would also be making a stop-over in China – perhaps even to discuss a potential summit between Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping – that does not appear to have materialized. When U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price was asked on July 19 whether Sherman was going to visit China, he pointed reporters to the previous trip announcement, which did not include China on the itinerary.
Price continued:
We make announcements [on travel] only once and if we determine that a visit has the potential to be just that, to be substantive, to be constructive for our purposes and for our interests. We have been clear that we will engage the PRC [People’s Republic of China] when it is – when it is in our interests, and when – and will do so in a practical, substantive, and direct manner, and that remains the case.
Price refused – despite substantial pressure from the reporter – to definitively rule out a China trip, however, which might suggest that talks are still underway. China would be the last stop for Sherman on this trip, so there is still room in her schedule if a breakthrough is made. She is currently scheduled to depart Ulaanbaatar for Washington, D.C. on July 25.
It seems unlikely that Beijing is keen to welcome a U.S. diplomat at the moment. Last week, the U.S. rolled out new sanctions on Chinese officials over Hong Kong, and just on Monday Washington spearheaded joint statements with its allies denouncing China’s “irresponsible, disruptive, and destabilizing behavior in cyberspace.”
The Financial Times reported that Sherman declined to visit China after Beijing refused her request to meet with Le Yucheng, the second-ranking figure in China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and thus her most direct counterpart. Instead, “China offered a meeting with Xie Feng, the number five foreign ministry official who is responsible for US affairs,” FT reported.

Mongolia continues to dominate Japanese Sumo, with Hakuho Victory www.news.mn

After years of injuries, the two behemoths Hakuho and Terunofuji both went 14-0 in the July 2021 Nagoya Grand Sumo Wrestling Tournament. The two, both undefeated and multi-time tournament champions, would face each other in this tournament final. At 36 years of age, after an exciting and quick final match, the Yokozuna Hakuho was able to defeat the younger Terunofuji. Both top sumo wrestlers competing in the final were born in Mongolia. For the past 20 years, the ancient Japanese martial art of sumo wrestling has been dominated by Mongolians.
The Mongolian sumo wrestler Hakuho, with his most recent tournament victory, now holds the record for most career championships at an amazing 45. Sumo wrestling hosts six grand tournaments (Honbasho) per year. However, Hakuho recently had to withdrawal from the six previous tournaments due to injury.
“Before the tournament, I never expected to win the championship with a record of no defeats at this age. I’m just relieved.” Hakuho said as he was receiving the Emperor’s Cup, “But with this victory, I am feeling I can fight again.” Hakuho finished July’s Honbasho going 15-0.
In that time, the younger Terunofuji would begin to win more tournaments and nearly get a promotion to Yokozuna – the highest rank a sumo wrestler can achieve. Terunofuji had won a tournament in 2015, but due to injuries would see a series of losses and be demoted to a lower division. Impressively, Terunofuji would make a huge comeback and win three more tournaments, two being in a row. If Terunofuji had remained undefeated and won this fifth tournament over Hakuho, Terunofuji would be nearly guaranteed to become a Yokozuna.
“The reason I lost was that I was not good enough,” Terunofuji, the runner-up, continued. “I did all I could. Going forward I want to get better.”
There are many benefits and prestige with becoming a Yokozuna, and it is not an easy task. Currently, in sumo wrestling, there is only one active Yokozuna, and that is Mongolia’s Hakuho. And since 1998 there has only been one Yokozuna who was from Japan.
From 2007 to 2015, a competitor from Japan did not win a single sumo wrestling tournament. In that time, there would have been 48 tournaments and nearly all the winners were from Mongolia, with some exceptions to other nations, but none from Japan.
And since 2015 the numbers have begun to improve slightly for Japan. The year 2016 would see Japanese competitors take two tournament victories. And since 2016 to today, there have been 33 tournaments and Japanese competitors have been able to capture 13 victories. However, only one Japanese sumo would be able to get a promotion to Yokozuna.
