There are all kinds of Heilongjiang border crossings 25 , is China's first province to trade with Russia , known as China 's trade with Russia "bridgehead ."

For a long time , low-grade goods , trade is not high level border trade exports Heilongjiang Province has been difficult to break through the bottleneck . " In the past we border trade in small scattered , small family businesses or workshops based, and now has changed, but the development of commodities , in terms of quality and size to be improved. " Zhang said.

Consul General of the Russian Federation in Shenyang Bai Defu believes that the current Sino-Russian border trade is facing the most prominent problem is the existing infrastructure can not meet the demand , " the need to improve cross-border infrastructure , which requires the two governments to increase capital investment , including the improvement of the railway , highways, ports, bridges, etc. .

Especially with the Chinese transportation network construction and information technology continues to evolve , the traditional advantage of border areas is gradually weakened.

" Heilongjiang and Xinjiang, which borders with Russia border areas should change ideas that will bring in mainland enterprises , thus creating the conditions to open the Russian market as a whole , should not be confined to the Far East, trade with Russia to build an upgraded version ." Xing Guangcheng said.

At present, China 's products focus on imports of Russian crude oil , timber, iron ore and concentrates, while China 's products are mainly exported to Russia apparel and clothing accessories , textiles , footwear , bags and so on.

Russian Federation recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Information Division Nikolaevna said that although the quality of Chinese products imported from Russia than in the 1990s greatly improved, but there are still quality and safety issues. " This has seriously affected the Russian people on the Chinese interest in the product , long-term effect is not conducive to the development of Sino-Russian border trade between the two countries must strengthen supervision and inspection and quarantine departments , and strengthen cooperation ."

" The need to further strengthen international cooperation in the port , the port on the other to achieve open and solve their counterparts in the region near the port between different countries in the port construction , customs clearance, logistics, services , and many other aspects of existence uncoordinated, not smooth and other issues, to promote the port of cooperation .
