DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT Mongolia – A Must Visit Destination! We visited Mongolia in 2017 to attend the 31st Asia Pacific Jamboree as members of the International Service Team. Emily at Travel Places arranged two fantastic adventures either side of the Jamboree for us. Every detail was covered and the experience we had was absolutely wonderful. We had a comprehensive itinerary which enabled us to see a wide variety of places during our stay. For the first part of the adventure we stayed in Ulaanbaatar. We were picked up every day by our guide and driver from Goyo Travel. We were taken to the Winter and Summer Palaces, Turtle Rock, the National History Museum, Gandan Monastery, Aryabal Temple and the magnificent Chinggis statue. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. His dedication and commitment to ensuring we had an enjoyable and informative time really helped us to learn about the country and it’s history – which is pretty amazing. After the jamboree we went on our second adventure. We were going further afield so our guide and driver were with us all of the time. It felt very reassuring to know we were in such capable hands. The best part of this adventure for me was staying with a nomadic family for a couple of nights. We experienced such a hospitable welcome. The family taught us how to cook some traditional Mongolian meals and drinks. We relaxed in their guest ger, waking up to wolves howling and the magnificent clear blue sky. We bathed in the river and visited the hot springs. Mongolia is a beautiful country. We learned such a lot about the culture and traditions. We would both highly recommend going to visit – we certainly plan to go back again. This is a place you may never have thought of going to. You will need the help of a translator and driver to get the best of your time there and you can rely on their vast experience and motivation to ensure you have a fantastic time.

These include relatives of victims who demand redress and eyewitnesses to the massacre and its aftermath whose testimonies contradict the official version of events. Even those who merely seek to honor the memory of the late Zhao Ziyang, the secretary general of the Communist Party of China in 1989 who was sacked and placed under house arrest for opposing violence against the demonstrators, find themselves subject to reprisals.

  • Economic Sanctions
    China: Economic Sanctions (name redacted) Specialist in Foreign Policy Legislation August 22, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44605 China: Economic Sanctions Summary United States-China relations, since 1969, when the process of normalization began under President Richard M. Nixon, have advanced to a point that relatively few restrictions affecting trade remain. This report summarizes the United States’ economic sanctions on China. The United States, in its relationship with China, limits U.S. foreign assistance and State Department programs; limits U.S. support for China’s requests for funding in the international banks; prohibits the exportation of defense articles and defense services to China; prohibits the importation of munitions and ammunition from China; limits exports to China of goods and services controlled for national security or foreign policy reasons, including prohibiting exports to specific Chinese entities of goods that have a military end-use; limits import/export and procurement contracts for specific Chinese entities found to be engaged in weapons proliferation activities; and restricts access to U.S.-based assets and the ability to enter into transactions with U.S. persons, imposed on specific Chinese persons for reasons ranging from weapons proliferation, illicit narcotics trafficking, international terrorism, and engagement with others against which the United States imposes sanctions (i.e., entities in Iran, Russia, North Korea, Belarus). Policymakers recognize the influence and impact of China’s growing economy and role in international markets, military modernization, increasingly outward-looking investment in other regions, activities in the South China Sea, and often contrarian position in the United Nations Security Council.
