Beijing greenlit to use Russian port of Vladivostok for its domestic trade​

China-Russia relations have grown closer since the Russia-Ukraine war. According to China’s General Administration of Customs (GAC), Russia’s port of Vladivostok will be added to its list of transit ports for the domestic transportation of goods. This means that after 163 years, Russia is reopening this key port to China after it was ceded by the Great Qing to the Russian Empire in 1860. Not only that, the northeastern interior of China will gain access to the sea.

Has this actually materialized? Has China built a standard gauge railway to the Vladivostok port?

That’s not friendship. We (in the US) still have disputes with Canada (something about Maine and the fishing rights) and our friendship is without question.

Vladivostok will probably be the last thing Russia gives up in the far east. They may give the water from the rivers and from lake Baikal, or other natural resources, but to give up Vladivostok is to give up a part of their “Eurasian” identity.

Look at how desperately they are trying to regain parts of the former Soviet Union. Besides as Kim Jung Un’s visit shows they have considerable manufacturing and defense facilities/bases in the region. They will trade people for time, but won’t give up their room to maneuver unless they lose it politically or in a war.

Chinese are very patient.

Once Russia gets balkanized by NATO, China will annex parts of Russia that are east of Urals.
