Russia-China trade turnover exceeds $185 billion!
This represents a 28% increase compared with the same period in 2025.
Trade turnover between Russia and China exceeded $185 billion in the first eight months of the year. This represents a 28% increase compared with the same period in 2025. Boris Titov, Chairman of the Russian side of the Russia-China Friendship, Peace and Development Committee, said the result demonstrates the rapid expansion of economic ties between the two countries.
According to Titov, trade between Russia and China has increased significantly in recent years. He noted that Germany was previously Russia’s largest trading partner, with annual trade turnover between the two countries reaching a maximum of $101 billion. With China, however, the figure has already exceeded $185 billion in just the first eight months. Titov believes these figures demonstrate China’s growing role in Russia’s economic relations and Moscow’s increasing shift toward Beijing in trade. Expanding cooperation in energy, industry and other sectors is among the key factors driving the growth in bilateral trade.
