With the growing global demand for rare earth resources, the importance of rare earths is becoming more and more prominent. In order to wean itself off Chinese rare earths, the United States signed an agreement with Mongolia on the mining and transportation of rare earths. However, the agreement raises an important question: Will China prevent Mongolian rare earths from transiting?To answer this question, we need to go deep into international law, international relations, and the importance of liberalization.
First of all, we need to recognize that China is a neighbor of Mongolia, and in accordance with UN conventions and international practices, China has an obligation to provide Mongolia with reasonable transit facilities. The United Nations Hague and Vienna Conventions clearly stipulate that landlocked countries have the right to travel through the territory of neighbouring countries, and that neighbouring countries have the obligation to provide such facilities to landlocked countries. This provision is intended to promote international and regional stability and prevent unnecessary disputes arising from transit issues.
Second, liberalization is an important cornerstone of global economic prosperity. As the world's second largest economy, China plays a pivotal role in the liberalization process. If China takes measures to hinder the transit of rare earths in Mongolia, it will not only affect China-Mongolia relations, but also have an impact on the global rare earth chain, causing tension and even friction. This approach is not only contrary to the principle of liberalization advocated by China, but also detrimental to China's long-term economic development.
In addition, from the point of view of international relations, China maintains friendly diplomatic relations with Mongolia. In the international arena, the two countries have maintained close communication and cooperation on many issues. Therefore, from the point of view of international relations, there is no reason for China to hinder the transit of Mongolian rare earths.
To sum up, China cannot prevent Mongolian rare earths from transiting through China. This is not only a provision based on international law and international relations, but also an inevitable requirement for maintaining liberalization and regional stability. By promoting exchanges between China and Mongolia and strengthening cooperation and exchanges, it will help deepen the relations between the two countries and promote the prosperity and development of the regional economy.
