I think it might not be realistic for it to happen right now, but Petroyuan when???

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.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.
The comments are brilliant...If you want a laugh, read the comments below this tweet, they're funny:
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.CIA working overtime cause Xi is about to sign some important deals with MBS.
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.I doubt it.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed confidence on Tuesday that the European Union and United States would resolve their differences on the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, a $430 billion green energy subsidy package.
"I am confident that this will involve a lot of work, a lot of effort, and certainly a lot of decisive discussions, but that in the end we will find a solution that we can all live with -- the USA, the European Union and its member states," Scholz told reporters at a news conference in Albania.
Many EU countries fear their companies will be unfairly disadvantaged by the subsidy package relative to rivals in the United States.
Lol don’t worry about ethnic mongols in Inner Mongolia. The Mongols in Outer Mongolia that don’t even use Mongolic script anymore have done a fine job of totally alienating them by blasting them for being fake mongols and hating on them. Same with ethnic Koreans. Many of these people are even more patriotic than the average Han due to this alienation. we need to send South Korea and Outer Mongolia a gift for their help somedayLooks like the alphabet soup organizations are attempting a string of colour revolutions, coups and chaos on the Eurasian continent this year.
However, there are 4 key things WRT the ongoing protests in Mongolia that China should be alert of:
1. The Power of Siberia - The currently under-construction gas pipeline passes, scheduled to be completed in 2024, runs through Mongolia from Russia before ending at gas terminals in China. Any chaos could risk undoing all money and effort poured into the pipeline itself, plus setting back China's effort at acquiring more Russian gas in the coming years.
2. Coal - Mongolia is 4th largest coal exporter to China. Not the largest, but still a considerable amount that plas instrumental role in China's energy sector through those coal power plants. If Mongolia suffers from chaos and destruction, one of China's major source of coal would have a significant impact.
3. Ethnic Mongols - If the current protest situation in Mongolia becomes out of control and the colour revolution is successful (especially if the entire "chaos" is being coordinated by alphabet soup companies), ethnic Mongols living in Inner Mongolia may be affected as well, especially with the neo-N4z1 Tsagaan Khas party in Mongolia.
4. Nuclear deterrence - Being situated right in between the Chinese and Russian interior regions and in the vicinity of China's ICBM silos, if Mongolia suffered a colour revolution and a pro-West fac1st government is installed, the West would have easier time to inflitrate and be stationed in Mongolia, thus allowing them easier time to spy and attempt jeopardizing China's critical nuclear deterrence infrastructures.
China should keep a watchful eye on Mongolia's present situation. Remember that Mongolia as a whole only has a population of 3.3 million, which is smaller than even the Tier 3 Chinese city of Tangshan. In China, 10 thousand protestors/rioters mean nothing in the sea of 1.4 billion. But for Mongolia, the same number of protestor/rioters can have impact.
In fact, China should be prepared with proper contingency plans in case signs of a new Mongolian government that is outright hostile towards Beijing rises to power in Ulanbataar.
