More good news for Beijing-Riyadh cooperation:
I think it might not be realistic for it to happen right now, but Petroyuan when???
What a joke, Chinese voters are just too small a minority to even make a meaningful impact upon local election. Beside, local election is irrelevant. South Koreans have become ultra-nationalists and anti-Chinese. It is funny that many of these Chinese are ethnic Koreans to begin with. More over, more immigrants are coming from Southeast Asians nowadays.
It is a good lesson to all ethnic minorities of China who has a separate country of same or similar ethnicity, they are Chinese first and always from all view points, no matter what fancy (fanatic narrow-minded) nationalistic words sound like.
I doubt it. I have some friends living in Mongolia and they are saying that the riots began because some government officials & wealthy businessmen stole $12.9 billion worth of coal that was supposed to be exported to China. Apparently, they collided with some local politicians\businessmen in IM to instead sell this coal privately. It was discovered by the Chinese government which found that the amount of coal that was supposedly exported from Mongolia to China did not match what China actually received and then alerted the Mongolian government which started the investigation. It is an absolutely massive theft for Mongolia which has a nominal GDP of $15.7 billion (!), so who knows how long they have been operating this smuggling ring, and there is no way it could continue undiscovered without collaboration on the highest levels of government.

It doesn't matter. All Mongolian leaders are corrupted. Even after they overthrow the current ones, the new leaders that elected and appointed by them would still be corrupted. Mongolia is only using nationalism and resentment towards China and grudges towards Russia and crony elections to hold the country together.
