BEIJING, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) — As of September 28, the volume of small-scale trade between residents of the Chinese-Russian border areas in Manzhouli City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, north China, since the beginning of 2025 exceeded 200 million yuan (approximately 28 million U.S. dollars), a year-on-year increase of 432.46 percent. This figure has reached a new high in the city's history, according to a statement posted on the official website of the Manzhouli City Hall.
The report notes that residents of border areas, through special cooperatives, share resources and collaborate on joint activities, jointly developing sources of imported goods and expanding their distribution channels within the country. Border cooperatives collaborate with processing plants to process and transform imported goods locally, thereby expanding the production chain, increasing incomes for border residents, and enhancing the stimulating effect of mutual trade between border residents on the development of local industry.
According to statistics, since the beginning of this year, more than 26,000 border residents in Manzhouli have directly benefited from small-scale cross-border trade, and their participation and sense of achievement continue to grow, while the impact of this form of trade on ensuring the stable development of border areas and increasing the income of their residents is becoming increasingly noticeable.
In the future, the Manzhouli Border Residents' Mutual Trade Zone will continue to focus on improving the application process, promoting the growth of border residents' benefit from this form of trade, encouraging border residents' cooperatives to continuously expand their business scopes and deepen their links with the domestic and international markets, so as to promote border residents' mutual trade to a higher level of development. -0-
