Vladivostok becomes a Chinese port. Why Russia had to agree to this

The Far East goes to China. As Russia loses territories in Ukraine in Ukraine, the journalist Rostislav Demchuk explains. "Eating" Russia by China is gaining momentum. China continues trade and economic expansion to the Far East of Russia. The next stage is the port of Vladivostok, which in a few weeks will become the inner port of China. Russia, whose economy is becoming more dependent in China in Western sanctions, is forced to go to many wishes of the Chinese side.

Therefore, Moscow was forced to give its consent to the recognition of China by the port of Vladivostok a transit point for domestic trade. That is, since June 1 this year, goods coming from one Province to another will restart and pass through the port of Vladivostok without customs procedures and any control by Russian customs and border services.

I'll try to explain in more detail! The PRC launches a strategic campaign for the development of its northern and eastern provinces adjacent to Mongolia and Russia. These are, for example, the regions around the cities of Suyhua, Harbin, Chanchun, Shenyan and other region, which are low and with relatively underdeveloped economy and infrastructure.

Already in the next month, Vladivostok will become a transshipment point for transportation of goods and materials from economically developed southeastern China. The port of Vladivostok will connect Shanghai, Hanchzhou, Juangou, Macao, Hong Kong with already named less developed and inhabited regions of the PRC in the north and northeast: Suyhua, Harbin, Chanchun, Shenyan . . .

The Yellow Sea is a clogged and backward farm, which is unable to serve a large number of containers, traileers and other industrial ships. Therefore, in any case, the PRC will have to invest in the development of the Vladivostok port infrastructure for their needs. And this means that in fact the Chinese will take over the port.
