No country quite understands what it’s like to live next to a major
power to the extent Mongolia does because it lives between two. For
decades, the government had to balance its relations and goals
against the actions and ambitions of its neighbors— except one,
Russia is now a pariah, and Mongolia is almost entirely dependent
on the other—China for trade. In this week's bonus episode, guest
host, journalist and Senior Editor at Semafor, Prashant Rao, sits
down with Mongolia's former President and Prime Minister, Elbegdorj
Tsakhia, who led his country’s transition to democracy after the
fall of the Soviet Union. They discuss the relationship that
Mongolia has built with China and Russia, what he learned from his
interactions with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, how he navigated
pressure from Beijing during the Dalai Lama's visits to
Mongolia, and what the United States should understand
about China.
