Major development to be put up on Russia's coast on the Sea of Japan 18 km from the Chinese border. Freight volumes being talked about are massive.

Putin is certainly playing the China relationship in a way that appears to be well beyond US, EU or Australian governments. Being neighbours they can do that for things like ports, but in terms of getting closer economic ties than just buying consumer goods from China or exporting natural resources to it, the Russian's are really standing out from the crowd.

Thanks for the link. I'd heard of that previously but didn't make the link from the article.

More potential assets to argue and fight over in the future.

Just jealous

That should firmly tip the balance of power in the region.

Russia tried to sit on the fense between the Western and Asian integration. Recent events in Ukraine have firmly shifted Russia's focus towards the Asian integration, thus making Russian membership in such organisations more important.

Not really, Moscow tried to close ties with China since some longer tjme already, but so far the price demanded by China to allow that, wwas considered to be too high. With the need to find replacements for the losses frum suffering relations with the West, Moscow could not afford to refuse all Chinese-demanded concessions and conditions anymore.
