为其最重要的贸易伙伴。究竟是什么力量，让地缘政治回归现实轨道？ 为了落实这一战略，蒙古国还出台了配套法规：明确禁止原矿直接出口中国，并限制中资控股比例。甚至在《矿产法》中，刻意留下模糊条款，以便日后有 更多空间施压外资。此前中铝试图收购蒙古煤矿项目，就因此功败垂成。这一系列政策清晰地勾勒出"远交近防"的外交思路。但问题在于，这种用政治意志 硬抗地理逻辑的尝试，注定带有理想化色彩。早前他们计划向美国出口稀土，却因中俄拒绝过境申请，计划瞬间泡汤。奥尤陶勒盖铜矿距中国边境不足百公 里，却被迫舍近求远，这本质上是一场与现实角力的实验。 2009年，一份关于奥尤陶勒盖世界级铜矿的合同悄然签订，但它从第一天起就带有鲜明的政治烙印。合同中的核心条款赫然写着：禁止矿石出口至毗邻的中 国。换句话说，这并非单纯的商业行为，而是蒙古"第三邻国"外交战略的一次高调实践。对于这个夹在中俄两大强国之间的内陆国家来说，他们幻想用一份 契约来突破"地理宿命"。而他们的合作伙伴，则是来自澳大利亚的力拓集团——一家百年矿业巨头。蒙古国希望通过西方资本，不仅获取资金，还能借助先 进技术与国际话语权。 文 | 北什么 地理引力真的完全无法抗衡吗？十 ...
