Xinhua, Vladivostok :
“Russian fish caught in the morning would be served at the lunch table of Chinese, and it is not a dream,” said Maxim Kareyev, a veteran fisherman in Vladivostok, Russia’s Far East.
More and more seafoods, particularly shrimps and lobsters, have been sold to Northeast China, Beijing and other Chinese areas over the past few years, he told Xinhua Monday.
Local seafoods are feeding the fine appetite of the quality-conscious group of Chinese consumers. Waters of the ice-free Pacific port are rich in red king crabs, shrimps and sea cucumbers. The export business is so brisk that some fishermen even work at night.
Many of his friends are now doing business with Chinese, said Kareyev.
Every day via the Pogranichny-Suifenhe border checkpoint in the Far East border region Primorsky, streams of fully-loaded Russian trucks flow into China’s northeast, enabling wood, oil and food products to be transported to different parts of China.
Russian drivers can now drive to and back from China twice a day in winter, doubling the volume of goods transported.
There are two transport corridors under construction in Primorsky, where Vladivostok is the administrative center.
