India asked Russia for its technology, which was blocked by China

India has come up with a lot of ideas in recent years, Just a few days ago, India was still talking about cooperation with Mongolia, hoping to bypass China and conduct direct mineral trade with Mongolia.

It is a well-known fact that Mongolia is rich in mineral resources. Its coal reserves are among the top 10 in the world, with a large number of iron ore, gold and other minerals. More importantly, The rare earth reserves of Mongolia as a whole are up to 31 million tons, second only to China 。 In addition, Mongolia has vigorously pursued the so-called "third neighbor" strategy in recent years, hoping to establish cooperation with "third countries" other than China and Russia. Therefore, it can be said that Mongolia and India are in harmony.

In terms of time cost, it is the best choice. But in India's view, although the cost of this route is low, the "risk" is huge, After all, at present, China India relations are tense, and the border dispute between the two countries is becoming increasingly heated. India cannot hand over its mineral "lifeline" to China ； What's more, India's cooperation with Mongolia is to reduce its dependence on China, which backfires. Therefore, the matter has been put on hold for the time being, and from the current situation in India, it is obvious that Russia has taken the initiative again.

It is also difficult to maximize its benefits. Although Russia's mining technology is not the top in the world, it is enough for India; Moreover, India and Russia have a solid foundation for cooperation, which can also facilitate the promotion of follow-up projects.

But most importantly, India hopes to alienate the relationship between China and Russia through this cooperation 。 Don't forget that India seeks Russia to learn mining technology in order to reduce its dependence on China. From this point of view, India has ulterior motives in seeking Russia.
