China’s population is about 10 times that of Russia.
The population of the RFE, comprising seven provinces, is only a little more than 6 million – an average density of less than one person per square kilometre.
Furthermore, the population in this region is in decline due to low birth rates and migration to other regions of Russia where living and working conditions are better. Since 1991, the RFE has lost about a quarter of its population.
China’s gross domestic product is almost 10 times that of Russia’s and the gap is increasing.
The Chinese economy grows almost 7 per cent a year, while Russia has just gotten over a recession and is unlikely to grow more than 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent in the coming years.
