Changchun, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) — As of Dec. 29, the passenger flow in both directions through the Hunchun checkpoint on the China-Russia border in Northeast China's Jilin Province exceeded 700,000 people, hitting a new all-time high, according to the local border control agency.
Over the same period, the volume of goods imported and exported through the Hunchun checkpoint increased by 38.1 percent year-on-year, while the number of vehicles crossing the border increased by 28.4 percent.
As the only land border crossing on the Chinese-Russian border in Jilin Province, the Hunchun checkpoint is connected to Vladivostok, Zarubino, Posyet, and other Russian towns by direct transport. Since the introduction of a mutual visa-free regime between China and Russia, there has been a significant increase in passenger traffic through this checkpoint.
"With a strong focus on policy implementation and service improvement, we are dynamically monitoring changes in passenger traffic, continuously optimizing the inspection process, and making every effort to ensure smooth customs clearance for passengers, so as to provide reliable support for cross-border tourism and trade and economic cooperation between China and Russia," the Hunchun Border Control Service stated. -0-
