Yu Miao-jie and Xu Ruidi’s co-authored paper,"China-Russia Cross-border Subregional Cooperation Empowering the Comprehensive Revitalization of Northeast China: Opportunities, Challenges, and Countermeasures,"has been published in theJournal of Liaoning University.
Abstract:
Against the backdrop of the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China in the new era and Russia's Far East Development Strategy, the cross-border subregional economic and trade cooperation between China's Northeast and Russia's Far East has achieved significant progress. Infrastructure has been increasingly improved, energy cooperation deepened, and agricultural cooperation expanded, among other achievements. As the forefront of China-Russia cooperation, the cross-border subregional cooperation between Northeast China and Russia's Far East boasts advantages in geographical location, resource complementarity, and strategic alignment. It serves as an objective need for establishing China’s new hub for opening up to the north, a realistic choice to support Russia's Far East development, and a pathway for forming a new regional cooperation framework in Northeast Asia. However, both regions are characterized by economic peripherality and low technological gradients, with constraints in systems, economic development, external openness, and mindset.
To address these challenges, China and Russia need to make comprehensive and multi-faceted efforts:
Strengthen Policy Coordination:Improve institutional frameworks, including efficient market mechanisms, urban agglomeration mechanisms, coordinated mechanisms for the three northeastern provinces and one district, and Northeast Asia subregional collaboration mechanisms.
Broaden Collaborative Development Pathways:Innovate trade and economic models, and strengthen cooperation in energy, agriculture, and high-tech sectors.
Promote Regional Economic Integration in Northeast Asia:Enhance regional infrastructure and cross-border logistics systems.
Cultivate Cultural Soft Power:Foster cultural exchanges, talent exchange, and improve the business environment.
