Features: At the turn of the 21st century, Siberia and the Far East, especially the vast region of the Far East, will see three irreversible trends: First, the acceleration of the process of development and opening up; second, the internationalization process in terms of economy, meaning that the development and opening up of this region must involve cooperation with countries around the world and the participation of international capital; third, related to the above two trends, the role of this region in international political and economic relations will continue to rise. An important trend in the development of economic and trade cooperation between China and Russia is that both countries, through various efforts, strengthen regional economic cooperation by pairing cities or regions. Siberia and the Far East are the main areas for China to develop regional cooperation.
