BEIJING, July 21 (Xinhua) — Mao Chengyue, a senior official at U.S. bank Wells Fargo, is currently unable to leave China due to her involvement in a criminal case being investigated by China, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun announced at a regular press conference on Monday.

According to the Chinese diplomat, China's law enforcement agencies have now taken measures to restrict Mao Chengyue's travel in accordance with the law.

According to Chinese law, Mao Chengyue cannot leave China while the case is under investigation and is required to cooperate with the investigation, Guo Jiakun said.

The key objects of the Blagoveshchensk master plan are located in the central part of the city on the Golden Mile section of the Amur embankment, which includes the House of Russian-Chinese Friendship, a cross-border cable car, an international congress and exhibition center, a premium hotel complex, the Fountain Alley, the Amur Dino Park and other objects.

The entire territory of the Golden Mile is reclaimed and was formed as a result of the implementation of a large-scale project for coastal protection and improvement of the embankment of the city of Blagoveshchensk (implemented in the period from 2013 to 2024 on 10 sites, which are grouped into 3 key clusters – Golden Mile, Silver Mile and Cote d'Azur).

The project was created using funds from a single subsidy, the regional budget and with the participation of partners (SBER). Within the framework of the project, the largest fountain complex in Eurasia was created, the House of Russian-Chinese Friendship with an observation deck, a dino park were built, and the central square of Blagoveshchensk was landscaped.

Mikhail Mishustin inspected the new airport complex of the Blagoveshchensk International Airport (Ignatievo) named after N.N. Muravyov-Amursky

The House of Russian-Chinese Friendship is a separate building with a complex architectural elliptical shape with variable number of storeys and a protruding cornice-spoiler. The area of the object is 6.3 thousand square meters, 2 floors, the roof of the building serves as an observation deck. Finishing works are currently underway at the object, completion is scheduled for September 2025.

The cross-border cableway across the Amur River between the cities of Blagoveshchensk (Russia) and Heihe (China) is the world's first cableway between two countries, Russia and China, and opens up great prospects for the development of international tourism and business. The cableway is being built under an intergovernmental agreement signed on September 3, 2015. The construction period is 2019–2025, with commissioning scheduled for May 2026. Technical readiness as of July 2025 is 80%.

The length of the cable car is 976 meters, it consists of two independent lines with two cabins with a capacity of up to 110 people each, the throughput capacity is 6.8 thousand people per day in each direction, the throughput capacity of the checkpoint across the state border is up to 2.5 million people per year (in both directions).

On the Russian side, a four-level passenger terminal with a total area of 26 thousand square meters is being built to accommodate the cable car terminal station, a platform and technological equipment, a checkpoint across the state border, a duty-free shop, restaurants, shopping and entertainment facilities. Commissioning is scheduled for May 2026.

The construction of a multifunctional congress and exhibition center is included in the long-term plan for the comprehensive socio-economic development of Blagoveshchensk for the period up to 2030. The planned start date for construction is the first quarter of 2026, and the completion of work is 2028. International events will be held here (the Russian-Chinese Economic Forum "AmurExpo", congresses, concerts, exhibitions), a center for Russian-Chinese business cooperation will be created, and a permanent export fair of Russian goods (from food to industrial equipment) for foreign guests will be organized.

The construction of five-star hotels is planned on the territory adjacent to the cross-border cableway under construction, in the immediate vicinity of the planned international congress and exhibition center.

The Alley of Fountains is the largest fountain complex in Eurasia, which has become the new calling card of the capital of the Amur Region. It is a pedestrian fountain with an area of 3 thousand square meters with a fogging system and 2114 jets. It was put into operation in May 2024.

In the evening, the fountain jets "dance" to music, being painted in different colors thanks to the spotlights installed next to the nozzles. Spectators can see "swan wings", "hearts", and other water figures.

The Amur Dinopark is an immersive area that will feature more than 20 exhibits, such as animatronic dinosaurs in jungle-like interiors. Finishing work is currently underway in the new building, with completion scheduled for May 2026.

Conversation between Mikhail Mishustin and the Governor of the Amur Region Vasily Orlov

Not so long ago, about five years ago, we met here and spoke in detail about the infrastructure elements that were sorely needed in the Amur Region. I remember very well, then we looked at the bridge towards Heihe, talked about checkpoints, a new airport, coastal protection, the creation of modern embankment elements and much more.

Today, these projects are being implemented systematically. The result of this was a twofold increase in the regional domestic product. This is a very good result. Today, we have seen from the implementation that everything is going as usual.

The airport we visited is almost ready. I hope that it will welcome and serve the millionth passenger in the new terminal in December, as planned.

Drive

The projects “Golden Mile”, “Silver Mile”, the expo center, the hotel, the cable car, all the elements on the embankment, which we also discussed in detail with you – they are all being implemented, and I hope on time.

It is also pleasing to see the creation of infrastructure for the movement of goods and, of course, for passenger transportation, tourism – both within the country and for tourism towards China. You are a border city.

And here it is very important that Kanikurgan, as an infrastructure, as a customs and logistics warehouse, as a checkpoint, will become, I think, an anchor for the expansion of the entire transport and logistics system of the Far East.

To be continued…
