1 mln people in Mongolia vaccinated against COVID-19 www.xinhuanet.com

The number of people vaccinated against COVID-19 in Mongolia reached 1 million on Monday afternoon, according to the Mongolian government's press office.
Under the motto "For summer without COVID-19, let's get vaccinated," Mongolia launched a national vaccination campaign against COVID-19 in late February with an aim to cover at least 60 percent of its 3.3 million population.

The Asian country reported its first imported COVID-19 case in March 2020 and confirmed its first locally transmitted cases in November last year.

Tesla, under scrutiny in China, steps up engagement with regulators www.reuters.com

Electric vehicle maker Tesla Inc (TSLA.O), facing scrutiny in China over safety and customer service complaints, is boosting its engagement with mainland regulators and beefing up its government relations team, industry sources said.
Tesla's change of strategy leading to more behind-the-scenes interaction with policymakers in Beijing compared to relatively little previously shows the seriousness with which the U.S. automaker views the setbacks in its second-biggest market.
It also comes at a time when China is trying to regulate large and powerful private companies, especially in the technology sector, on concerns about their market dominance.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday, a public holiday in China.
Many consumers may not realize it, but they're increasingly competing against institutional investors and contending with soaring building costs

As they do elsewhere, regulators in China, the world's biggest auto market, discuss industry policies and standards with global and local companies, industry associations and think tanks.
Manufacturers typically join such meetings in China, but unlike rivals including Toyota Motor (7203.T) and General Motors Co (GM.N), Tesla officials were largely absent from the closed-door gatherings, according to four people familiar with the matter.
Instead, Tesla officials regularly speak at high-profile industry conferences. Outside China, Tesla's outspoken chief executive Elon Musk regularly takes to Twitter to comment on or criticise regulators or rules.
But in past weeks, Tesla executives attended at least four policy discussions, on topics including auto data storage, vehicle-to-infrastructure communication technologies, car recycling and carbon emissions, the people said.
California-based Tesla, which makes electric Model 3 sedans and Model Y sport-utility vehicles at its own plant in Shanghai, did not make major commitments at the meetings, but participated in some discussions, they said.
Tesla is also expanding its government relationship team in China, one of the sources said.
According to two recruitment advertisements in April on its WeChat account, Tesla is hiring managers to update a policy database and maintain relationships with government and industry associations to "build a harmonious external environment to support Tesla's business development in the regional market."
It was not immediately clear how many managers Tesla was planning to hire for government relations.
Accounting for roughly 30% of Tesla’s global sales, China is the automaker’s second biggest market after the United States and helped it post record first-quarter vehicle deliveries.
Pressure has been building over the past few months on Tesla's mostly excellent relations with Beijing.
In February, Chinese regulators summoned it over consumer reports of battery fires, unexpected acceleration and failures in over-the-air software updates.
And in March, Tesla came under scrutiny when the military banned its cars from entering its complexes, citing security concerns over vehicle cameras, sources told Reuters at the time. Days later, Musk appeared by video at a high-level forum, saying that if Tesla used cars to spy in China or anywhere, it would be shut down.
Last month, Tesla was targeted by state media and regulators after a customer, angry over the handling of her complaint about malfunctioning brakes, climbed on top of a Tesla car in protest at the Shanghai auto show. Videos of the incident went viral.
Grace Tao, a Tesla vice president who heads its government relations effort in China, was criticised in state media last month after she was quoted in a media interview questioning whether the aggrieved customer was acting on her own.
In response to the different complaints, Tesla has said it would set up a China data center, launch self-inspection to improve services and work with regulators.

Parties nominate candidates for 2021 Presidential Election www.montsame.mn

Over the past weekend, two political parties and one coalition in the Mongolian parliament, State Great Khural, have completed selecting their candidates to run for the upcoming presidential election of Mongolia, scheduled on June 9, 2021.
In specific, the Steering Committee of the ruling Mongolian People’s Party supported Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, who is a leader of the party and served as Prime Minister of Mongolia between 2017 and 2021, as a presidential candidate.
The Democratic Party – the opposing party in the parliament is currently divided into two parts. The General Election Commission is expected to decide registering which Democratic Party by the end of this week.
The Democratic Party led by O.Tsogtgerel is nominating the current member of the parliament Altankhuyag Norov, who was a Prime Minister between 2012 and 2014. He was elected from Orkhon aimag in the 2020 parliamentary elections as an only independent member in the parliament, and joined the Democratic Party last week. The other part of the Democratic Party led by M.Tulgat has approved to nominate Erdene Sodnomzundui, former member of the parliament, leader of the Democratic Party and Minister of Population Development and Social Protection, for the presidential election.
The Right Person Electorate Coalition, which won one seat (MP T.Dorjkhand) in the 76-seat parliament as a result of the 2020 legislation elections, is nominating Enkhbat Dangaasuren, former member of the parliament in 2008-2012 and Founder, CEO of DataCom LLC - Information Technology Service Company in Mongolia. The Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party, which holds one seat in the parliament, last week announced to merge with the Mongolian People’s Party.
In line with the Law on Presidential Election, the candidates are required to submit their platform between May 3 and 5 to the National Audit Office, which will check and make conclusion on their compliance with legislations, such as country’s development policy, long and medium term official documents and other corresponding regulations. Based on the conclusion, the General Election Commission will register the eligible candidates as official candidates for the 2021 presidential election and will grant candidates card to them within 16 days prior to the polling day.
With the latest amendments made to the Constitution of Mongolia in 2019, future presidents of the country will be limited to one six-year term instead of previous four-year terms and will be required to have reached the age of 50.

New oxygen plant at NCCD becomes ready for operation www.montsame.mn

Deputy Prime Minister S.Amarsaikhan got acquainted with a new oxygen generation plant, being established at the National Center for Communicable Diseases (NCCD). The oxygen plant is expected to put into operation this week.
Oxygen supply center, currently in use at the NCCD, distributes 600 cubic meter oxygen per day and it is carried by high-pressure balloons. As the new plant is put into operation, conditions will be created to deliver oxygen directly to reanimation and intensive treatment wards as well as rooms for COVID-19 treatment by using underground network.
The oxygen consumption has increased four to five times due to the sharp rise of infection. Therefore, with the construction of new plant, not only the NCCD’s oxygen need will be fully met, but it will also be possible to reserve five balloons of oxygen per hour and provide other hospitals with oxygen. This will save MNT 30 million a month and over MNT360 million per annum.
Building of the oxygen plant was constructed by Medi Gas Company as part of its social responsibility.
