lomanov, doctor of historical sciences, professor of russian studies.dio alexander vladimirovich, hello, good afternoon, so, in sechin’s report, there was also something about the fact that trade turnover between russia and china in last year reached 240 billion billion dollars, this despite the fact that 200 billion dollars was planned, that is , it turned out even higher than planned, please tell us why such a pace is even possible, of course i’m interested in the prospects, here on the forum. why is it important? china has faced very strong pressure from the west. these are not only sanctions, they are not only restrictions, they are an attempt to impose a change in the economic trajectory. relatively speaking, the west demands that china consume more and produce less. accordingly, if china chooses the western trajectory, begins to consume and reduces production, then the prospects for russian-chinese partnership.
