Putin's entourage on this visit to China is very "luxurious", and it can almost be said that it "poured out of the nest", and it is not difficult to see the importance attached to China. Of course, in addition to consolidating Sino-Russian friendly relations, Putin's visit to China also has an important goal, that is, to further develop Sino-Russian trade.
Putin led a large trade delegation consisting of Russian Finance Minister Siluanov and Central Bank Governor Nabiullina, as well as Russian bankers, business people, and the president of Rosneft. Judging from the content of the Sino-Russian talks, Putin listed energy as the focus of Sino-Russian cooperation.
Putin said that mutual trade and investment between China and Russia are effectively protected and are not negatively affected by third countries, and the share of rubles and yuan in Sino-Russian commercial transactions has exceeded 90%. The two sides reached a consensus on further strengthening the ties between Chinese and Russian financial institutions, expanding the use of the national payment system to serve the economic entities of the two countries, and also planned to strengthen cooperation in the field of energy, which is also a priority direction of cooperation between the two countries.

Of course, the highlights of Sino-Russian cooperation do not stop there. According to the joint statement issued by China and Russia, the two countries will jointly develop the Black Blind Island in accordance with the principles of good-neighborliness, friendship and respect for national sovereignty. The two sides signed a unified concept for the development of the Black Blind Island, as well as a memorandum of understanding on promoting the development of cooperation in infrastructure and engineering construction.
Last year, the trade volume between China and Russia exceeded 200 billion US dollars for the first time in history, and with the disruption caused by US sanctions on Sino-Russian trade resolved, Sino-Russian trade is expected to break the record again.
So, how do you view the Sino-Russian cooperation in the development of the Black Blind Island?
Black Blind Island
First of all, this is a testimony to the ironclad friendship and trust between China and Russia. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia. At present, Sino-Russian relations are in the best period in history. Taking advantage of President Putin's visit to China, China and Russia jointly signed and issued a joint statement on deepening the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era, and China-Russia relations have reached a new level.
The statement pointed out that the Russian side reaffirmed its adherence to the one-China principle, recognizes that the Taiwan region is an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China, opposes any form of "Taiwan independence", and firmly supports China's measures to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and realize national reunification.
At the same time, China supports Russia in safeguarding its own security, stability, development and prosperity, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and opposes interference in Russia's internal affairs by external forces. Sino-Russian relations are non-aligned, non-confrontational, and non-aimed at any third country, and have also set a good example for the international community of seeking security through mutual trust and cooperation through mutual benefit.

Secondly, it has also set a model for the international community in resolving territorial disputes. In 2006, China and Russia signed the Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation, which resolved the remaining border issue. On October 14, 2008, China and Russia held the "Unveiling Ceremony of the Boundary Pillars of the Eastern Section of the National Border" on the Black Blind Island.
On the same day, through an exchange of letters, China and Russia confirmed the entry into force of the "Protocol of the Chinese and Russian Governments on the Supplementary Narrative of the Eastern Section of the Sino-Russian Boundary Line" and its annexes. Half of the Black Blind Island has officially returned, and our border guards have begun to patrol the island.
The resolution of the border issue between China and Russia has also set an example for the international community to resolve complex and sensitive issues through diplomatic means. China's land borders are long, with 14 countries bordering each other on land. At present, China, India and Bhutan have not yet completed border demarcation. In addition, there are territorial disputes with some neighboring countries.

This time, China and Russia have joined hands to develop the Black Blind Island, sending a twofold signal to the outside world. On the one hand, this shows that territorial contradictions can also be resolved through peaceful diplomacy, and it is hoped that India, the Philippines and other countries can draw inspiration from this. On the other hand, it also reflects China's attitude that we are capable of resolving territorial issues with our neighbors without outside interference.
In the end, this also bankrupted the conspiracy of the United States and the West to sow discord between China and Russia. Last year, China released the 2023 edition of its standard map, which depicts in detail and accurately reflects the extent of China's territory, including the entire Black Blind Island. In this regard, the US and Western media blew up the pot and began to play the piano indiscriminately and discuss Sino-Russian relations in vain.
At that time, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova said lightly that the border issue between China and Russia had long been resolved. However, this does not mean that the mouth of the people is blocked. This time, China and Russia have decided to jointly develop the Black Blind Island, which can be said to have completely blocked the space for discord between the West. As Russia further "looks eastward", there is much potential for Sino-Russian cooperation in the Far East in the future.
