mongolia is modeling itself after south korea. all the buildings stores transportation are from korea and a large percentage of people speak korean as a second language.
@@MB-rb9tk look at the number of mongols coming to korea to work study and to get married. korean is one of the most popular languages for the mongols.
Most development is happening after the 90s, and also the construction of housing and industry beforehand is the result of close ties with USSR foreign aid, not because of any success Mongolia had with socialism/communism.
@@baatar What I mean by that is the construction wasn’t done by the Mongolian state itself, rather by a foreign power with foreign money. It doesn’t matter what that foreign powers ideology is if we are talking about the success of an ideology in one country.
@@Uqwefsdjxsafor sure, Mongolia did receive an outsized contribution from Soviet coffers but isn’t the Communist ideology all about sharing and collectivizing wealth? For example, Mongolia did process and provide the Soviets with a lot of resources during wartime and peace.
@@baatar Yeah that’s a fair point, though you get into the long debate of wether the USSR and it’s satellite states fell under Communism or rather Socialism with their governance. Collectivisation in Mongolia was much different then the USSR also as while Russia was in mostly Feudal conditions Mongolia was based around nomad societies.
fun fact, Mongolia was part of China until 1949 when CCP seceded it to Russia, matter of fact, Republic of China aka Taiwan still claims it as its territory, there are no diplomatic relations between ROC and Mongolia.
@@baatar how did someone establish "a new country" ? they started a new government, not new country. And Mongolia is still part of Taiwan, sorry your feeling is hurt
A local expert? 😂
Can’t you find a Mongolian “local expert”? You have to use an interloper.
Local expert ☠️
Now show us around Belfast with a Mongolian guy as the “local expert”
Dear lord, BBC? Seriously? Why could you not get a real local Mongolian, not a foreigner, to give you a tour of UB? Laziness?
Good show, yet could have been twice as long with interviews with locals & more insights into the indigenous culture. That would have been great.
Hi, the full show is on the BBC IPlayer in the UK and BBC select in the US
This city and Samarkand are on my places to visit
Samarkand is an exceptionally gorgeous city. UB is on my list for this summer.
local expert: lived in the city for 6-7 years... yeah that checks out
Singapore of North Asia.
Excatly😂😂😂😂😂
@@JODTARPE I don't get it, what's the reference?
might be a slight stretch
Oh shit, western colonising starting.
Even the Socialists would have went to that monument more often to show symbolism to their old ideology.

A large percentage of the population speaks English, Russian, and German not Korean
I don’t know anyone from there who speaks Korean. English is the second language
@@arganj you obviously havent been to mongolia. a korean person can get by there just speaking korean instead of english.

@@bofuthereturn I am from Mongolia. I do believe a lot of people speak Korean but English is more popular and commonly used .
who tf says "UB", and what kind of "local expert" is that, this is some bull
Admittedly UB is a quite common abbreviation for Ulaanbaatar. They should have gotten a local Mongolian for the "local expert" though.
I don't see many trees
Where is Genghis Khan's grave?

PRC didn’t “cede” shit, they established themselves as a new country and then formally recognized Mongolia which Mongolia did in turn.

@@gratefuldeadly7899Mongolia is as much a part of Taiwan as Israel doesn’t exist on an Arab map. Thanks for confirming your stupidity.
@@gratefuldeadly7899 btw, Taiwan renounced its claims to Mongolia long ago, further proving how wrong and uneducated you come off as

Now showing western propaganda 😂 😂
