I always had a feeling that Chinese leaders of the previous generation like Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai were not exactly happy that Soviet took Mongolia from them. That is far more land and resource lost than even to the Japanese with Taiwan.

But we can buy resources from them at low price and we don't need to be responsible for them.
