Russia, China open bridge to boost trade as Moscow grapples with Ukraine sanctions

Russia and China announced the opening of a new bridge with "special symbolic meaning" Friday in hopes of bolstering trade as Moscow continues to feel the effects of sanctions imposed by the west over its invasion of Ukraine.

The bridge now linking Blagoveshchensk, Russia, to Heihe, China, over the Amur river will slash the travel distance of Chinese goods into western Russia by 930 miles, giving a boost to trade flow with Beijing that Moscow believes will grow to $200 billion by 2024, according to Reuters.

"In today's divided world, the Blagoveshchensk-Heihe bridge between Russia and China carries a special symbolic meaning," Yuri Trutnev, the Kremlin representative in the Russian Far East, was quoted by the news agency as saying.

China, which buys Russian natural resources and agricultural goods, has criticized Western sanctions on Moscow.

Biden, the globalists, and the neocons are just driving Russia away from the West into the ChiCom’s arms. What a pack of treasonous fools.

China will soon not need much at all from the USA.

But we will still grovel at their feet for all those cheap labor items brought here.

Well we sure did give it all to China for years and they have run with it. So of course Europe is going to get on that bandwagon in time and tide. No oceans to cross.

Our treasonous, mercantile coastal leads have sold out of America to China. That being said America is the only truly fortress nation with mountain ranges along both the east and west coasts, an arctic wasteland to the north and swamps all over the southern gulf coast. It would be hard to invade us and we have more guns and god-given natural resources than any country.

We’re led by a group of anti-Americans and our populace is pretty much just along for the ride. The populace has been effectively and deliberately dumbed-down on world and American history and civics, they’re practically amoral and half are on psychotropic drugs and a third of them are not even citizens of the USA.

These leaders actually believe this is a winning strategy to rule the world with.

The alliance of Russia and China is a natural answer of Humanity to the existential threat of globalism.

But things are a bit more interesting if one looks carefully.

For example, Ukrainian ambassador to Germany is crying about German’s trade.. since beginning of the war for liberation in the Ukraine, it increased by 60%.

I suspect when the things settle, this bridge will also be helpful for the Chinese trade with Europe.

Why would they even want to invade us - aside from the illegals - when we’re self destructing via this administration.

Well it could be to enslave the soyboys to sell as sex toys to the perverted Afghanis for weapons.
