Under the impact of the Internet age, international relations have become more complex, and people's views of countries have become more subjective. Especially when it comes to relations between countries, some people like to personify countries, giving them emotions and specific tendencies. However, the complexity of international relations goes far beyond the complexity of human beings.
Among them, Mongolia's position is very delicate, especially in terms of relations with China. Although people's perceptions of international relations have become more subjective due to the influence of the Internet, in reality, state-to-state relations are more complex than we can imagine.
Looking back on history, since the time of Genghis Khan, the various tribes of Mongolia gradually coalesced into a single country without understanding each other's language, and became the most powerful military force in the world at that time. However, with the rise of Europe and the expansion of Tsarist Russia, the glory of the Mongol Empire gradually faded and its sphere of influence was weakened. During the Cold War, constrained by Sino-Soviet relations, Mongolia chose to side overwhelmingly with the Soviet Union.
During this historical period, Sino-Mongolian relations were constrained by Sino-Soviet relations and formed a passive state. However, with the passage of time, especially under the impact of the Internet age, Sino-Mongolian relations have gradually become independent of Sino-Soviet relations and have taken on a purer posture.
Culturally, Mongolia was influenced by the Soviet Union, and its culture was transformed and the script was replaced with the Cyrillic alphabet, resulting in Mongolia being inferior to Inner Mongolia in the preservation of Mongolian culture. This cultural fragmentation has also affected Sino-Mongolian relations, making it more difficult to understand and communicate.
During the Cold War, Mongolia was generally antipathetic to China, partly out of fear of the Soviet Union, and chose to side with the Soviet Union. However, this is not hatred, but a complex emotion, with geopolitical considerations as well as cultural and historical considerations.
It is worth noting that Mongolia's younger generation has gradually developed a different attitude in the Internet age than in the past. Through the Internet, they are able to understand China more comprehensively, breaking down the previous cognitive barriers. Especially in terms of economy, Mongolia's younger generation has gradually become more receptive and accepting of China, showing a more friendly attitude.
Judging from the economic data, the gap between Mongolia and Inner Mongolia is gradually widening among the younger generation. Although in the past Mongolia may have developed a sense of jealousy because of economic disparity, this sentiment may gradually fade over time.
However, this is not to say that Sino-Mongolian relations can improve quickly. Historical inertia and cultural differences remain challenges to China-Mongolia relations. However, by maintaining a high-quality economic development trend, China and Mongolia are expected to shake off the barriers of the past and achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship.
Overall, China-Mongolia relations have evolved over the course of history, and as the times change, the ties between the two countries will become even closer. As long as the two sides can treat each other with an open mind and work together to usher in a common future, China-Mongolia relations will surely usher in a better tomorrow.
