With a vast territory and abundant resources, why has Mongolia never been able to develop?

As a vast and resource-rich country, Mongolia seems to many to have an impressive economic development. However, in reality, Mongolia's level of development has not been satisfactory. So, what is the reason for Mongolia's inability to develop?

First of all, political instability is an important reason why Mongolia cannot develop. Historically, Mongolia has been in a state of political turmoil. Since the 90s of the 20th century, Mongolia has experienced many political crises, including leadership changes, corruption problems, and ethnic conflicts. These political instability have hindered Mongolia's development and made investors worry about the investment climate in Mongolia.

Secondly, Mongolia's single industrial structure is also one of the important reasons restricting development. Despite its abundance of natural resources, Mongolia has a very homogeneous industrial structure, mainly based on mining. This monolithic industrial structure makes Mongolia's economy very vulnerable to fluctuations in the international market. In addition, Mongolia's light industry and agricultural base are weak, which also leads to great restrictions on the development of the domestic market.

In addition, Mongolia's backward transportation infrastructure is also one of the important factors restricting development. Although Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, its transportation infrastructure is relatively backward, and the transportation network such as roads and railways is not developed enough, which makes it very difficult to communicate at home and abroad. This has further affected the development of Mongolia's economy.

In addition, Mongolia's relatively low level of science and technology is also one of the important reasons restricting development. Although Mongolia has some outstanding scientists and researchers, on the whole, the level of science and technology in Mongolia is still relatively backward. As a result, Mongolia has been greatly restricted in terms of technological innovation and industrial upgrading.

Finally, the level of education in Mongolia is also one of the important reasons for restricting development. Although Mongolia has some excellent institutions of higher learning and research institutions, the overall level of education in Mongolia is relatively low. As a result, Mongolia has been greatly restricted in terms of talent training and scientific and technological innovation.

To sum up, the reason why Mongolia, which has a vast territory and abundant resources, has never been able to develop is mainly due to political instability and a single industrial structure.

1. Caused by factors such as backward transportation infrastructure, low level of science and technology, and low level of education. In order to achieve economic development, Mongolia needs to solve these problems and actively promote reform, opening up, and modernization. Only in this way can Mongolia make full use of its abundant natural resources and geographical advantages to achieve rapid economic development.
