More Companies Pull Out of Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony www.bloomberg.com

More Japanese companies have decided against sending executives to Friday’s opening ceremony for the Tokyo Olympics as concerns about holding the games during the pandemic grow.
Senior officials from Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp., Fujitsu Ltd. and NEC Corp. will skip the event given that organizers decided to hold the games without spectators, spokespeople for the technology giants said Tuesday, a day after Toyota Motor Corp. announced its top executive wouldn’t attend.
Japan’s pledge to hold a safe and secure games is coming under threat as Covid-19 cases jump in Tokyo and visiting athletes test positive for the virus. In a fresh public relations setback, Japanese musician Keigo Oyamada, known as Cornelius, quit the team creating the opening ceremony after acknowledging he bullied school classmates with disabilities years ago.
The games will be the first in modern history to be held without spectators, after Tokyo entered another state of emergency that will run throughout the tournament.
Panasonic Corp. Chief Executive Officer Yuki Kusumi will miss the opening ceremony, although Chairman Kazuhiro Tsuga will attend in his role as vice president of the organizing committee, a spokesperson said.
Meiji Holdings Co. and Asahi Group Holdings Ltd. had already decided executives wouldn’t go, and bosses from Nippon Life Insurance Co. and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. will also stay away, representatives said. Toyota President Akio Toyoda will miss the event, the automaker said Monday.
Japanese public support for the Olympics is mixed at best, raising questions over the merits of using the competition for marketing.
Toyota won’t air local television advertisements during the games, despite being among the global sponsors. Bridgestone Corp. had already decided not to broadcast commercials, a spokesman for the tiremaker said.
NTT plans to run commercials featuring athletes, although it has yet make a final decision. Nomura Holdings Inc. and Mizuho Financial Group Inc. plan to continue airing ads, according to spokespeople. Eneos Holdings Inc. is seeking to do the same, although it may change its ad policy depending on the situation, a representative for the petroleum refiner said.

Two dams in Inner Mongolia collapse after heavy rain www.globaltimes.cn

Two dams in Hulun Buir City in North China's Inner Mongolia were reported to have collapsed on Sunday because of heavy rain since Saturday, but no injuries have been reported.
On July 18, the dams on the open spillway of Yong'an Reservoir and Xinfa Reservoir in the Daur Autonomous Banner of Morin Dawa, were breached and collapsed as the water level of the Nuomin River continued to rise because of heavy rain, according to People's Daily.
The dam collapse reportedly affected 16,660 people, flooded 325,622 mu (21708.1 hectares) of farmland, and destroyed 22 bridges, 124 culverts, and 15.6 kilometers of highways.
At 8 pm on Sunday, the national flood control administration issued a third-level emergency response and sent a working group to the scene to guide and assist local emergency management.
Local citizens were evacuated to safe places before the collapse, and no casualties have been reported as of press time.
The peak of the flood has passed and the economic losses are still being counted.

ICC inducts Mongolia, Tajikistan and Switzerland as new members www.espncricinfo.com

The ICC has announced that Mongolia, Tajikistan and Switzerland will be its newest members during the 78th Annual General Meeting.
Mongolia and Tajikistan are the 22nd and 23rd members of the Asia region, while Switzerland is Europe's 35th Member, with the ICC now comprising 106 Members in total, including 94 Associates.
Meanwhile, Zambia, which was suspended at the ICC AGM in 2019, is no longer a member due to continued non-compliance with ICC Membership Criteria. Russia too has been suspended and, according to a release, has until the time of the next ICC AGM to demonstrate compliance or risk having its membership terminated.
The ICC Membership Criteria Zambia and Russia failed to meet

"All three applications demonstrated an impressive commitment to growing the game - particularly amongst women and youth - and we look forward to assisting them in achieving their potential.
"As cricket activity begins to emerge from the pandemic, we are at an exciting stage of cricket's growth with ambitious plans and projects to deliver in partnership with our Members to not only navigate the impact of Covid-19 but to also help achieve transformative growth for the sport globally."
The Mongolian Cricket Association (MCA) was established in 2007. The sport was officially accepted into the National Youth Games in 2019. According to an ICC release, women account for 39% of all participants playing school cricket. In addition, Mongolia is due to host the International Youth Green Games in September 2021 where cricket has been selected as one of the participating sports.

China’s crackdown on firms trading in US could kill $2 TRILLION listings market www.rt.com

New regulations concerning listings of Chinese firms on foreign exchanges are likely to mean that Beijing aims to put a lid on the US IPO market altogether, market experts say.
The Chinese State Council said in a recent statement that all businesses with 1 million or more users will have to get approval from the country’s cybersecurity regulator if they want to list overseas. Prior to that, Beijing also announced plans to amend the rules of “the overseas listing system for domestic enterprises,” as well as to enforce control of cross-border data flows and security. These steps may bring about an end to Chinese initial public offerings (IPOs) in the US, industry experts say.
“It’s unlikely there will be any US-listed Chinese companies in five to 10 years, other than perhaps a few big ones with secondary listings,” Paul Gillis, a professor at Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management in Beijing, told Bloomberg.
Until recently, there were some 248 Chinese companies listed on US exchanges, mostly tech firms, including eight state-owned enterprises, with a total market capitalization amounting to $2.1 trillion, CNBC reported, citing the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission. Now, the Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (PGJ), which tracks US-listed Chinese shares, has reported that the number has dropped by a third over the past six months amid the regulatory crackdown.
The situation escalated in June when China’s ride-hailing app Didi Global Inc. went for a New York listing despite objections from regulators, who reportedly suggested it list in Hong Kong instead. The company’s shares plunged nearly 20% after Beijing announced a cybersecurity probe, banning Didi’s new user registrations. US-listed Alibaba and Tencent have also recently fallen under government scrutiny.
Overall, US-traded Chinese stocks have decreased nearly 30% this month. Chinese authorities are putting high hopes on the Hong Kong exchange for domestic listings, planning to ease the regulation demanding Hong Kong IPOs seek the approval of the country’s cybersecurity regulator to make it more appealing to companies that wish to go public. Currently, the processing of IPO applications takes too much time due to the regulation.
With this in mind, the amount of new Chinese listings in the US may drop significantly in the near future, says Donald Straszheim, senior managing director of China research at Evercore ISI Group.
“Beijing [is] not trying to stop all US listings. Still, business ties between the US and China are better than not. Beijing [is] trying to add a layer of protection against corporate foreign compliance,” Straszheim said in a note to CNBC.

Mongolia’s first woman Olympic flag bearer www.news.mn

At just 21 years old, 3×3 star O.Khulan has been selected to become the flag-bearer for Mongolia at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the first-ever woman to get this honor.
The 5ft 11in (1.80m) player is starting to get used to making history. She’s becomes part of the first team in Mongolian history to compete at the Olympic Games. Her country has a rich history of winning medals in individual sports such as wrestling, boxing and judo (9,8 and 7 medals respectively) but had never ever been at the Olympics in a team sport or discipline.
“I’m happy for sure,” O.Khulan said. “But the biggest emotion is the pride to be Mongolian. I just can’t wrap my head around the idea that I am given this huge opportunity on the biggest stage in sports, at the Olympics. It is every athlete’s dream to represent your country on the biggest stage possible.
After making her 3×3 debut in 2017, she became a household name on the 3×3 scene after leading Mongolia to the quarter-finals of the FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup 2019, including a memorable buzzer-beating win against Germany.
In her perfect English – she went to school in Australia – she had given a long interview to FIBA3x3.basketball about the incredible rise of 3×3 in Mongolia.
On July 9, she officially received the national flag from Mongolian President U.Khurelsukh in an official ceremony.
O.Khulan became the second 3×3 athlete to become a flag-bearer at the Olympian opening ceremony after Latvia’s Agnis Cavars. /FIBA/

Working group established to improve Mongolia's rating in Corruption Perception Index www.montsame.mn

The cabinet convened irregularly on July 16 and established a working group responsible for stopping corruption, cutting red tape and improving corruption index scores.
At the meeting, Minister of Justice and Internal Affairs Kh.Nyambaatar was charged with developing and have approved a plan with intensives measures.
The Corruption Perception Index by the Transparency International, which ranks 180 countries and territories by their levels of public sector corruption according to experts and businesspeople, showed overall 35 points out of 100 in Mongolia for 2020, placing Mongolia at 111th.
Mongolia’s rating lowered by five places comes following bribery and abuse of functions by public sector officials as well as increasing bureaucratic corruption faced by businesspeople to maintain their operations and establish contracts and agreements, as the study shows.
The anti-corruption working group, consisting of representatives from public organizations in charge of corruption reduction, will be working to stop the bureaucratic corruption activities, reduce burdens and corrupt acts encountered by businesspeople and entrepreneurs, maintain correspondence of government agencies, improve regulatory framework and intensify digital transition.
The government is aiming to improve Mongolia’s ranking in the Corruption Perception Index within next two years.

Mongolia edges towards autocracy www.aljazeera.com

The consolidation of power in the hands of the MPP is pushing the country towards a hybrid single-party regime.
On the surface, the Mongolian elections which took place on June 9 may have looked free and fair. Former Prime Minister Ukhnaa Khürelsükh of the Mongolian People’s Party (MPP) won with 68 percent of the vote, competing against Sodnomzundui Erdene of the Democratic Party (DP) and Dangaasuren Enkhbat of the National Labour Party.
In reality, candidates who could have posed a real challenge to Khürelsükh were sidelined. The two contenders who were allowed to run had no chance of winning; they only legitimised the election by providing a performative veneer of a competitive electoral race.
On June 25, Khürelsükh took the presidential oath of office, thus bringing all branches of government under the control of the MPP. This victory was very much the result of a ploy by the MPP and the country’s elite, which prefers to get rich on the back of commodity exports to China instead of working towards full democracy.
Thus, Mongolia’s democratic development has been gravely undermined, as a single-party rentier-state emerges under MPP’s rule.
A well-engineered ploy
In 1990, a peaceful democratic revolution brought about the resignation of the country’s communist leadership and the first multi-party elections were held. During the following two years a bicameral legislature, still dominated by the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party (MPRP), drafted and enacted a new democratic constitution, introducing a semi-presidential system.
Unlike many Eastern European countries, Mongolia did not dissolve or ban its communist-era party. With the exception of 1996 and 2012 parliamentary elections, MPRP (which in 2010 restored its pre-1925 name, MPP) has dominated Mongolia’s unicameral legislature but has lost every presidential election since 2005. In the 2017 presidential elections, Khürelsükh, then a prominent MPP leader, worked with Khaltmaagiin Battulga, the candidate of the opposition Democratic Party, to defeat the MPP candidate and take control of the party and the premiership.
In 2020, MPP won the parliamentary elections, securing a supermajority with 62 of the 76 seats. The main opposition formation, the Democratic Party, scored poorly, winning just 11 seats. Nevertheless, it was expected that Khürelsükh would continue his informal tandem with Battulga, with MPP fielding a weak candidate to run against the incumbent in the 2021 presidential election.
However, in January, following a protest against the government’s handling of the pandemic response, Prime Minister Khürelsükh suddenly resigned, surprising everyone but himself. Though he justified the move with the need to bear responsibility, to Mongolians it was clear that he was trying to rid himself of the political alliance with Battulga, to protect himself from the effect of the pandemic and to secure the presidency for himself.
In April, the Constitutional Court made a ruling with a questionable due process barring Battulga from re-running. In May, the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party (MPRP), which split from MPP back in 2010, signed a merger agreement with the ruling party to back Khürelsükh’s candidacy. Thus, MPRP member Ganbaatar Sainkhüügiin, arguably one of the most popular politicians in the country and a candidate in the 2017 presidential elections, was also deprived of the opportunity to run.
Subsequently, Battulga made an attempt to close down the ruling party through a decree but was simply ignored by the courts and the parliament. The DP then failed to unite its splintered factions, and its former head and an ardent Battulga critic, Erdene Sodnomzundui, was registered as the official DP candidate by Mongolia’s Election Commission. When the campaign officially kicked off, Khürelsükh and Sodnomzundui were joined by Dangaasuren Enkhbat, a tech-entrepreneur, from the National Labour Party.
It was clear from the beginning that neither Sodnomzundui nor Enkhbat had enough popularity to compete against the vast resources and access to state institutions that Khürelsükh had at his disposal for his election campaign.
The former prime minister also clearly had the backing of Mongolia’s economic and political elite, getting extensive campaign coverage on private channels and enjoying a smooth ride with the General Election Commission, which in the past had often been at odds with candidates. Even Battulga in the end gave up resistance and hinted during a TV interview that he was seeking reconciliation with Khürelsükh.
The ruling party handed out cash to its members for its 100th anniversary in early March, timed World Bank subsidies for herders to be given closer to the elections, and flooded public media with promotional content.
Given these election campaign conditions, the results were not surprising. Khürelsükh won 68 percent of the vote, Enkhbat got 20 percent, mostly from Ulaanbaatar’s economically better-off districts, and Erdene got a mere 6 percent, on par with the number of protest ballots cast.
In its post-election statement, the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said that a highly prescriptive campaign framework, apparent inequality of resources, excessive limitations on candidacy, overly restrictive media regulations, lack of independent information on candidates and the absence of debate had affected voters’ ability to make an informed choice.
Joining the ‘community of common destiny’
This consolidation of power by the MPP is coming against the backdrop of a major economic crisis. Mongolia, where nearly half of the 3.3 million population is either poor or at risk of poverty, gets an unhealthy majority of its foreign exchange through commodity exports to China. When the commodity supercycle, a period of sustained high prices for raw materials, stopped in 2014 due to China’s decelerating growth, the economy, which was only a few years earlier the fastest growing in the world, tanked. This necessitated an IMF bailout worth $5.5bn in 2017.
Following the crash, a debate emerged within the Mongolian elite about how much the fast turnover of governments contributed to the crisis. The idea was that if Mongolia had had a more stable government, it could have avoided the economic collapse by more effectively managing windfall revenues, attracting foreign direct investment and moving forward with large infrastructure projects, such as railways, pipelines, mines, power plants, airports, etc.
MPP took this a step further and insisted that the country cannot afford to lose the upcoming commodity supercycle – which is expected to start with economic recovery following the end of the pandemic – to domestic infighting and a concentration of political power would be conducive to the country’s development.
While counting on the China-driven commodity supercycle to pull the Mongolian economy out of the crisis, the MPP also appears to be embracing the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) “community of common destiny” narrative, which insists that a country does not have to be democratic in order to develop.
Since 2016, the MPP leadership have been a frequent visitor of “CCP in Dialogue with World Political Parties” conferences, through which CCP aims to win international support among foreign political parties and promote this narrative.
In May 2021, US Senators Marco Rubio and Patrick Leahy highlighted this MPP-CCP relationship in a joint letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, specifically pointing a finger at MPP’s Secretary-General Dashzeveg Amarbayasgalan. As if to confirm this synergy, when the Constitutional Court was deciding the fate of Battulga, who is a well-known Russophile and Sinophobe, both Russian and Chinese vaccine deliveries to Mongolia mysteriously stopped.
When the parliament accepted the Constitutional Court’s ruling, Sinopharm vaccine shipments resumed. One million doses of Sputnik V bought by Mongolia never arrived.
By following the CCP’s narrative about undemocratic prosperity, the MPP seems to be taking Mongolia on a path towards authoritarianism. If the current trend continues, the government will transform into a textbook case of an electorally autocratic hybrid regime that suppresses dissent, supports a loyal elite through natural resource rents and “pacifies” the populace with entertainment and pro-government propaganda.
Such a regime is also unlikely to try to diminish Mongolia’s overdependence on China, which currently receives 90 percent of Mongolian exports. This would only make the country even more vulnerable to Beijing’s coercive tactics.
Thus, under the leadership of the MPP and with the full approval of the economic and political elite, Mongolian democracy is dying a slow death.
