Has the only profitable navy in the world - Mongolia
When the Chinese talk about Mongolia, it seems that they need to make a special note, whether it is "Inner Mongolia" or "Mongolia". The current territory of Mongolia is composed of the ancient Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turks, Miaogas, Uighurs, Khitan and other nomadic peoples who lived and once established political power. And these names are familiar to the Chinese.
As a 100% completely landlocked country, Mongolia is rich in mineral resources. The content of Erdenet copper-molybdenum mine ranks first in Asia and is one of the top ten copper-molybdenum mines in the world. Due to the vast territory and the unique topography of Wangshanpaosima, many unique plants have grown. As one of the birthplaces of the "cold wave" in the Eurasian continent, Mongolia contributed most of the blizzards in China. Such harsh weather conditions led to Mongolia's only naval combat readiness ship, an old-fashioned Russian tugboat named "Sukhbaatar", which could only work for half a year in a year, and the seven members on board could only work for half a year. Go home and continue your nomadic life.
Mongolia's independence has been complicated and tortuous. Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1990, it has finally let itself go. Driven by mineral products, the economy has maintained a relatively high growth rate, and has been highly connected with the international community with an extremely open attitude. In terms of intellectual property rights alone, it has participated in 16 international organizations and agreements. In 2020, Mongolia released the "Vision 2050", which will be committed to building a system for national scientific and technological innovation to enter the international market between 2031 and 2040, and increasing investment and talent training in scientific and technological innovation fields such as nanotechnology, biology, information technology, and artificial intelligence. Vigorously develop the green digital economy and intellectual production, support high-tech research and development, etc. Today we will take a look at Mongolia's intellectual property system.
