"Faced with the monopoly and monopoly of Western countries on resources, China must build a Chinese economic circle, and neighboring countries provide resources to China to get rid of their dependence on Western resources, get rid of the passive situation where resources are controlled by the West, and compete for China's voice in the global resource market." Jiang Feng waved his hand and said to everyone, "I mine in Australia and Mongolia, mine in Sanfoqi, and mine in Africa. It's just a step ahead of time and set an example for domestic companies. What Japan did, we can see clearly. Although the domestic resources are scarce, they are not without them at all, but they will definitely not mine. They are investing in mining areas around the world and using other people's resources to build their own strength. This is very worth learning from."

A group of leaders of the National Academy of Justice listened with relish. After all, what Jiang Feng said does exist in reality and has a great impact. It should be reasonable to take the development path of overseas investment.

All what Jiang Feng said can be considered, but when China's maritime power and navy are not yet developed, if we want to do this, we must vigorously expand the neighboring countries, and obtain land resources protected and deterred by the Chinese Air Force and Army, and stay away from the control of the United States. The main targets are China's scarce iron ore, copper ore, bauxite and other resources, as well as excessive coal and other resources developed in China.

In this way, it is necessary to issue relevant guidance documents and policies to encourage domestic enterprises to invest in overseas minerals.

"In fact, this is for the benefit of our nation and drive common prosperity to neighboring countries." Jiang Feng couldn't help but say some high-sounding words to increase credibility and persuasion to himself, and make his behavior of investing in overseas resource markets more just. "We have many poor countries around us, such as Mongolia, whose per capita GDP is only 1,300 US dollars, and there is a shortage of food and vegetables, and the people's lives are extremely difficult. When we invest in their minerals, we are actually helping them get rid of this poor life, which is very beneficial for good-neighborly cooperation."

A leader of the State Council asked: "So, what good suggestions do Mr. Jiang have?"

Jiang Feng also replied without hesitation: "The suggestion is very simple. My opinion is that for iron ore, copper ore, bauxite, oil and gas, uranium ore, coal, forest and other resources, our state-owned enterprises or private enterprises can pay for their mining rights, occupy all or most or part of the equity, and at the same time, they can provide equipment, funds, and some personnel to participate in the development and transport them back to the country. We have these funds, equipment, and talents. There is no need to keep so many foreign exchange reserves in China now. The US dollar will depreciate, and only resources can maintain value, so we must quickly use them on these projects that are both urgent and affect long-term stability. Promote the government and industry associations to coordinate to accelerate the pace of resource investment in neighboring countries."

"Mr. Jiang's vision is quite sharp." An economist sighed after hearing this, "doing this will not only achieve the goal of enriching neighbors and a good-neighborly policy, but also drive the construction of transportation facilities in the above-mentioned mining areas of neighboring countries, thus forming an economic circle around China and a transportation network, thereby completely forming a Chinese economic circle centered on China, with transportation network as a link, resource elements as the basic element, and driving the economic development of the entire region, becoming one of the trump cards against the United States or the West."

Jiang Feng nodded and smiled, "That's true. If we don't occupy this market, the Americans will occupy it and the Japanese will occupy it. Then, not only will we not get sufficient development resources, but we will also be surrounded by the US-Japan alliance, causing trouble for us in neighboring countries. The formulation of national policies must be fully considered according to actual needs. In the past, we only asked for efforts but not for returns, so we suffered a lot of losses, such as in North Korea, Vietnam, Mongolia, etc., now we must follow economic laws when doing things. Since we need to invest, we must have returns. Only in this way can we form a reasonable and sustainable economic and trade relationship and thus stimulate the relationship between the two sides. That's not to say, there are no permanent friends in the world, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."

After hearing this, everyone applauded, thinking that Jiang Feng’s words were very reasonable and inspiring.

However, some people were a little shocked by Jiang Feng's idea. Thinking that Jiang Feng's global resource market layout is so large, the Fan Jiang Consortium will have a considerable say in the international resource market in the future.

Jiang Feng chatted with them for a while, and someone came over and whispered to him that there was an emergency news from Mongolia, saying that the large-scale development operation of the Jiang family consortium in Mongolia attracted the attention of the Japanese consortium and it seemed to be not very stable recently.

"Dog said that the little Japanese is here to cause trouble for me again!" Jiang Feng cursed with some annoyance.

There are several cocktail parties in the capital in a day, especially as the New Year approaches, more. But how many powerful people can be invited depends on how good the face they are. Just like these leaders from various ministries and commissions of the State Council, they don’t say that they have free time to join in the fun and support.

People from both the political and business circles got together, and they were talking about nothing more than the word power and money. Fortunately, everyone has similar status and high levels, so they won’t feel anything bad even if they get together.

Jiang Feng obtained the latest data report provided by his subordinates, which were specific figures about Japan's economic aid to Mongolia.

According to Japan itself, since 1991, Japan has become Mongolia's largest foreign aid country for 16 consecutive years. With its huge political aid development and assistance, Japan has successfully promoted the development of Japan-Mongolia relations, and the Mongolian people's closeness to Japan has also increased with Japan. In November 2004, a survey conducted by the Japanese Embassy in Mongolia showed that more than 70% of Mongolians felt close to Japan. These phenomena show that Japan, which once fought with Mongolia in history, is now one of the most friendly countries in Mongolia. Although China, which is truly a major neighbor in Mongolia, is one of the primary directions of Mongolia's foreign policy, its image in the hearts of some Mongolians is not as complete as everyone.

The main way Japan successfully changed its image in Mongolia was to increase investment in cultural education in addition to economic aid. Japan knew that only cultural infiltration could have a profound impact in the minds of the Mongolian people.

Since 2002, Japan has implemented the "Grassroots Plan" in Mongolia, gradually shifting the focus of aid from the economic side to the field of cultural and ideological exchange. In June 2002, the Mongolian Japanese Cultural Center, built by Japan-based government funding, was completed at the Mongolian National University. The center regularly holds knowledge lectures for young people, plays Japanese movies, and holds Japanese language learning classes. At present, the cultural center has become an important way for Mongolian people to further understand and learn about Japan. Since 2003, Japan-based government has transferred education investment from the capital Ulaanbaatar to pastoral areas.

, especially in poor provinces and counties. That year, there were 70 rural schools that received assistance from Japan's "Grassroots Plan". In 2004, 25 projects were implemented within the scope of the "Grassroots Plan", including the renovation and expansion of grassroots primary and secondary school buildings, kindergartens and medical clinics, providing funding to the disabled, donating computers and color TVs to schools, providing generators, transformers, renewing water pipelines, sewage purification systems, etc. In 2005, Japan's Zhengfu provided Mongolian Zhengfu with 50 million yuan to update and improve the equipment of Mongolian Music and Dance Academy.

In addition to political assistance, Japan's non-government organizations also actively carry out cultural and educational assistance activities in Mongolia. The Japan International Cooperation Group established a radio shortwave center in Ulaanbaatar, Gobi Altai Province, and Muren City. Japan's "Mongolian Partners" and "Peace Wind" and other non-government organizations provided teaching equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars to rural schools in South Gobi Province and Central Gobi Province according to the agreement.

In recent years, the cultural activities held by Japan and Mongolia in each other's countries have become more active and rich in content. In 2007, just passed, to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Japan also held the "Yuan Year" event in Mongolia.

In addition, Japan has the largest number of foreign tourists traveling to Mongolia every year, with an average of more than 10,000 people. Moreover, since the Mongolian Political and Japanese government signed the Japan-sending volunteer delegation to Mongolia in 1991, thousands of young Japanese volunteers have gone to Mongolia to engage in teaching work, and at the same time taught Mongolia about Japan's cultural traditions and values ​​in order to expand their own influence.

Japan's years of economic aid and cultural infiltration to Mongolia have gradually achieved results. In Mongolia, from the state's leadership to ordinary people, they are grateful to Japan. In return, when Japanese foreign minister Shunko Kawaguchi visited Mongolia in August 2004, Mongolia provided information on the situation of 10,100 Japanese captured in Mongolia after World War II (all dead). Moreover, in response to the request of Japan's political axe, the Mongolian military prisoners of war was built in the southern suburbs of Ulaanbaatar.

On the issue of the Six-Party Talks of the North Korean nuclear program, Mongolian Political Axe actively stands on the standpoint of Japan and supports Japan as a permanent member of the Security Council on the issue of UN reform. What's particularly striking is that mainstream media in Mongolia often list Japan as one of the "most friendly countries to Mongolia" but do not mention China. What's more, in a children's program on Mongolian State TV, when the host asked which countries were neighbors, the naive children actually said that the United States, Japan, South Korea, Britain, Russia, etc., when the host answered again after repeated reminders, he said: There is also "Huzha" (a false accusation of the Chinese).

Compared with Japan, China cannot but recognize the gap in Mongolia's work. The main reason is that China lacks the soft power influence, ideological appeal and value attraction that major powers should have. In other words, "let others do what you want them to do, that is, the ability to attract and convince others." So far, China has not set up an institution like a cultural center in Mongolia.
