I was doing research for a economics project and stumbled upon this
look at the last part
is that a typo, or did Mongolia literally sell $8.43B worth of coal to only China, and then sell just $9 of it to Slovakia? who in slovakia needed $9 of coal from Mongolia??
I would assume there is a missing B for billion but you should really cite this source in your work
nope, I looked in a graphic for the data, and in the recipients for Mongolia’s coal was:
China (100%) but there was an option to filter out Asian countries, and there was only one other country that received coal
it was Slovakia
they got $9 of coal
either their data is messed up, or that is literally what happened in 2023
Hey man someone needed coal
