On the second day of Putin’s visit to China the Russian President in Harbin laid flowers at the monument to Soviet soldiers who died in the battles for the liberation of China. At the opening ceremony of the Russian-Chinese EXPO in Harbin Putin said: “I think we can rightfully be proud of the results of Russian-Chinese economic ties, Russian-Chinese economic cooperation. Just a few years ago, for bilateral trade, the figure of 100 billion dollars in trade turnover was considered a great success, but now they have already crossed the 200 billion mark. Well, more precisely, according to Chinese statistics, 240 billion. This is far from the limit, of course.” Source: Russian Head
