The headline of today's article did read as follows: MONGOLIA - Voters anxious over Chinese investment and rising influence.
Sub-headline:
Today's presidential poll is seen by some as a referendum on country's largest trading partner.
The article is about 'Mongolia's coal and copper' and it mentions the following:
QUOTES:
China wants Mongolia's coal and copper, and has the cash to build the infrastructure to get it - if Mongolia allows it.
Julian Dierkes, specialist in Mongolian politics at the University of British Columbia, said there was a lot of nationalist language in the party manifestos.
"Most of this must be thinking of Mongolia as united, but also, in part, united agains China, even if that is not explicit."
But Mongolia can't be choosy. The government was forced to implement austerity measures to secure a US$ 5.5 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund in May.
Ultimately, economic growth may hold more allure for voters than nationalism.
END OF QUOTES
Will be interesting to see which party will WIN, either the Mongolian People's Party (MPP) or the Democratic Party...
All the best to all WOF holders.
