Russia and China to construct first rail bridge across Amur River
Russia and China have agreed to build the first cross-border rail bridge over the Amur River by 2016, following President Putin’s visit to Shanghai. The bridge will cut transportation times and increase trade.
Construction of the bridge is scheduled to start within the next few months.
"It is the first ever bridge between Russia and China. Now generally there are no bridges between our countries: neither automobile, nor railway," Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund told journalists on Tuesday.

14:37 MSK “One of Russia’s main issues is liquidity and access to long-term funding, not helped, of course, by recent ups and downs in the ruble,” Roger Munnings, Chairman of the Russo-British Chamber of Commerce.
I dont understand this. It sounds like CB is not under Russian control then, since why is it hard to give long term loans to domestic businesses but it can to countries? They are screwing their own economy with this.16:30 MSK: “This is a paradox. The country currently has a $200 billion trade balance, and for a long time has been acting as a donor to the world economy, approximately $100 billion in annual transfers per year, and is not capable of organizing long-term credit”- Sergey Glazyev, economic aide to President Putin.
You are speaking like a russian ultra patriot.It sounds like CB is not under Russian control then
TASS wrote:ST. PETERSBURG, May 22. /ITAR-TASS/. Russian metals giant Norilsk Nickel will raise nickel supplies to China to 100,000 tonnes in 2014 from 70,000 tonnes in 2013, CEO Vladimir Potanin said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Thursday.
The Indonesian government has prohibited ore exports from January 2014, which pushed global nickel prices higher. Norilsk Nickel has been in talks with Chinese authorities to replace the Indonesian nickel for China ever since, Executive Director Pavel Fyodorov said on Monday.

Near every russian economist is poisoned with the western view on the world economy, I'm afraid, which states what things a country (other than US) should do, and what it shouldn't as it will lead to an inflation increase, depression and things like this.
It's like a mind slavery
The gas project with China is diversified and recoupable and will give an opportunity to develop eastern Russian regions.
Russia may hire foreign workforce for implementing large-scale projects in Russia, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday.
"As for the mass involvement of workforce, this is also possible in certain areas and in the event of the implementation of large projects, including joint undertakings, especially with regard to infrastructure," Putin said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
Russia is planning to carry out a large number of infrastructural projects that will be financed from its national wealth funds, Putin said. "We do not rule out the possibility of attracting foreign workforce."
Gazprom and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) signed on Wednesday a 30-year contract on Russian natural gas supplies to China via the eastern route worth a total of $400 billion.
Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said the deal envisaging the supply of 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas to China annually was the largest contract for the Russian energy giant.
Putin said after the signing ceremony that Russia and China would immediately start to work on the western route of natural gas deliveries to China from Western Siberia.
He named Russian hydrocarbon reserves on the Yamal Peninsula and in the Arctic region "planetary".
Russia was world's third by foreign direct investments last year, Putin added.
"Certainly, we are not going to stop and will move forward," he said.

50 years refers only to those gas fields from which gas to China will be pumped. Meaning that well after 30 year 38 bin m3 of gas contract is over Russia will have enough gas left there to
pump for another 20 years. We had a disscussion a while back where we realized that Russia has enough gas for 107 year at this rate of export without shale or Artic gas taken in the
consideration. Russian energy resources are incredibly vast.
