Let's figure out how to read them without confusion.

Tatarstan launches logocomplex for Russian Federation—China containers: betting on the Volga and multimodality

Tatarstan plans to fully launch its logistics complex in 2026. Deng Xiaoping is a container transportation site between Russia and China. The project fits into the region's strategy: strengthening multimodality, developing inland waterways and turning the Sviyazhsky junction into a hub where the railway, autologistics and the river-sea route converge. For foreign economic activity, this means new opportunities in terms of speed, cost and sustainability of supply chains.

China blocks "almost new" cars to Russia: 500 cars are stuck at the border due to the 180-day rule

1,738 03.02

China began to crack down more harshly on the scheme by which new cars were exported as used: a large batch of cars for Russian buyers was detained at the border in Suifenhe. It is based on the "180 days" rule and increased control over the export of "zero used goods". For the market, this means increased risks of gray imports, longer deadlines, and a gradual shift to more transparent supply chains.
