Development of the Arctic reindeer industry from the perspective of Sino-Russian green biomanufacturing cooperation

Russia’s reindeer population accounts for two thirds of the world’s total.There is a strong and resilient population of reindeer on the tundra,and reindeer herders inherit and transmit the unique culture of the north.Reindeer products have become the subject of innovative developments in the biopharmaceutical and healthcare products industry owing to their unique raw material properties.Because deer antlers and blood are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine,significant quantities of Arctic reindeer products are likely to be sold in China.Strengthening understanding of the Russian Arctic reindeer industry will help Chinese companies invest in the Russian Arctic,promote Sino-Russian Arctic cooperation on green biomanufacturing,and lead to the development of new products that promote human health.

Influence of the Agreement on Enhancing International Arctic Scientific Cooperation on the approach of non-Arctic states to Arctic scientific activities

As the third legally-binding instrument of the Arctic Council, the Agreement on Enhancing International Arctic Scientific Cooperation was signed in May 2017 and entered into force on 23 May 2018. The Agreement not only reduces obstacles to the international scientific cooperation and promotes the movement of people and equipment across borders for the effective and efficient development of Arctic scientific knowledge, but also provides an improved international Arctic legal environment for conducting Arctic scientific cooperation based on UNCLOS and institutional arrangements. However, the observer states, the NGOs and IGOs, as well as Permanent Participants are rarely mentioned in this Agreement. This article chooses one group, non-Arctic states, as a case in point in order to critically discuss the influence of this new Arctic scientific cooperation agreement. It argues that the non-Arctic states are left behind at the original legal situation and trapped in an inferior status in Arctic science. Under these circumstances, this article suggests that non-Arctic states, especially those with competitive research abilities, should appeal for amendment of the Agreement to allow wider access to research areas and data sharing, especially when cooperating with the eight-member states of the Arctic Council. Also, non-Arctic states should take the Agreement as the reference when signing bilateral agreements with Arctic states so as to safeguard their interests when conducting Arctic scientific activities. Moreover, the active participation in other fora as well as various bilateral scientific projects can assist non-Arctic states to strengthen the relations with the Arctic states and build trust in the Arctic Council.

俄罗斯进口替代战略新动向

After Russia launched the special military operation,Western countries imposed unprecedentedly severe sanctions on Russia,jeopardizing the country’s key industrial sectors.Therefore,Russia has adjusted its mechanism and institution of import strategy,accelerated the revision of industry plans,implemented a series of supporting measures,further promoted the implementation of import substitution strategy,and placed greater emphasis on technical sovereignty,safety-related industries,and non-market means.However,Russia’s import substitution strategy is still constrained by multiple factors,such as limited path choice,weak foundations of industry and technology,and the urgent need to rebuild the production chain and supply chain.However,it should be noted that Russia’s import substitution does not imply allround substitution and comprehensive self-closure,nor will it be a shortterm strategy.Simultaneously,parallel import will become an expedient measure for Russia to replace import substitution in the future,while strengthening cooperation with non-Western countries,particularly Asia-Pacific countries represented by China,is the general trend,so Sino-Russian pragmatic cooperation will bring along new economic growth opportunities.

Russian Translators in the Oil Station of Mohe County

Translators of the Sino-Russian crude oil pipeline: They are the translators who enabled communication between the Chinese staff and the Russian staff during the construction and operation of the SinoRussian crude oil pipeline, including during such crucial tasks like the launching and the reception of the pig traps and the process of transporting the oil. As ‘messengers’ connecting the Chinese and the Russians, and as a necessity in facilitating the transportation of oil from Russia to China, they make great contributions towards ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the Sino-Russian crude oil pipeline.

Sino-Russian Energy Cooperation and Geo-Strategic Issues

Due to the rapid growth of China’s demands for energy resources, energy security hasbecome a more and more important issue in making future energy decisions. China’senergy policy is founded on the principle of “multiple energy supplies and imports”. Itwould be one of the best solutions if China could make use of its various advantages,attentively develop its multi-energy cooperation with other countries, and seek for acooperative program that is accessible to many sides such as China, Russia, Japan andSouth Korea. Nevertheless, under current circumstances, how to realize “multiple energysupply and import” is not only a focal point for China’s energy security but also one of thetricky issues for the Chinese government. In this paper, the author has put forward someviewpoints and policy suggestions on Sino-Russian energy cooperation and other geo-economic strategic problems.
