Китайские приграничные города тихо обеспечивают энергией экономику России, подвергнутую санкциям

Chinese border cities like Manzhouli and Heihe have become vital lifelines for Russia's economy as Western sanctions take their toll.

These towns are thriving on booming cross-border trade, with goods and people flowing in both directions. Russian tourists and patients are flocking to China for shopping and medical treatments, while Chinese businesses benefit from increased commerce and e-commerce opportunities. The close economic ties highlight how China is helping Russia circumvent international restrictions.

This growing partnership is reshaping the economic landscape along the Sino-Russian border.
