Mongolia was to be the “ultimate resource play”. But playtime can quickly turn ugly. Chalco, China’s biggest aluminium producer, has abandoned its attempt to take a controlling stake in SouthGobi Resources, the owner of Mongolia’s Ovoot Tolgoi coking coal mine.

Its retreat is a Pyrrhic victory for Mongolia.
