Russia has opened the home port of its Pacific naval fleet to Chinese commercial shipping, a sign of deepening ties between the two nations amid the Russia-Ukraine war.

The Russian port of Vladivostok opens to China on June 1 for “cross-border transport of domestic goods,” according to China’s state-run Global Times newspaper on Monday, which cited the General Administrations of Customs China, the nation’s customs ministry.

Chicoms call it Haishenwai.

Now they’re free to use it as a domestic Chinese port.

This is part of Xi’s plan to take back Manchuria from Russia.

It did belong to China, just like Taiwan did, before it didn’t.

Why China Will Reclaim Siberia - NYTimes.com

"Vladivostok is the largest Russian port in the Far East with 2,300 workers, 15 berths and 45 cranes. It accommodates 2,000 vessels annually and handled more than 13 million tons of cargo last year, according to the port’s website."

The Governor of Vladivostok, Ivan Newsominskivich has banned diesel trucks over 10 years old from unloading cargo from the berths. This has caused shipping to be backed up for months, although the ban has earned him effusive praise for his efforts to fight global warming and climate change. It must be noted however that there has not been much concern that Vladivostok might get warmer or be in any danger of being less cold either. Global warming and climate change only affect capitalist bandit nations.

Occasional labor strikes from the traitor union bandits have caused additional unloading delays. There has been some consternation though as many strikers have suffered death or horrible injuries in Ukraine. Some have doubted Putin's assertion that these strikers has sudden urges to fight for mother Russia.

This is the new Zeeper thing now. I wonder what Russian papers said about Joe Biden signing bills that hurt America in favor of China. I wonder if they talk about the Biden family deals with CCP that benefit the Biden family only?

[hardspunned]

Notice how it always comes up aces for that Uniparty POS McConnell. After he has completed shipping what’s left of MAGA back to China, new horizons open up.

Well, isn’t that special.

Russian Kinzhal Missile Strikes US Patriot System in Kiev + the Fundamental Disadvantage West Faces

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for May 17, 2023:

- Russia’s Ministry of Defense and US officials confirm Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles successfully targeted US-made Patriot air defense systems;

- Patriot systems launched approximately 30 missiles over 2 minutes, representing tens of millions of dollars of missiles that were already in short supply;

- Despite this, the Western media continues repeating obvious fabrications about Ukraine intercepting “all” incoming missiles and drones. The Patriot system falling victim to a Kinzhal missile despite firing upward to 30 missiles calls into question Ukraine’s previous claims of intercepting a Kinzhal days earlier;

- As Ukraine burns through Western weapons and ammunition, the West continues preparing to transfer other weapon systems including warplanes;

- European nations are preparing a “coalition” to purchase and provide F-16 fighters to Ukraine;

- F-16 warplanes have no specific capability beyond the aircraft that made up Ukraine’s original air force which is now mostly destroyed;

“ This is part of Xi’s plan to take back Manchuria from Russia.”

Probably.

“It did belong to China, just like Taiwan did, before it didn’t.”

Thing is, this isn’t even true. Manchurian Imperial rulers of China did for a while, but ceded these regions decades before PRC ever existed.

It’s like claiming Ontario Canada belongs to the United States because the King ruled both areas once upon a time.
