"We note the growing interest of Chinese investors in the localization of manufacturing in the Russian Federation after the introduction of additional protectionist measures in 2024-2025. Chinese investments, as a rule, are invested in several specialized areas. First, it is the extraction of some rare resources or the use of land for the purpose of obtaining agricultural goods, which are planned to be sent to China in the future. Secondly, these are projects in the field of real estate and services, focused on demand from Chinese enterprises, Chinese tourists, or members of the Chinese diaspora. Thirdly, these are projects in the field of import substitution, the number of which has increased after the increase in the degree of protection of the Russian market. Finally, and fourthly, these are projects with unique technologies or other intellectual property. To cooperate successfully with Chinese partners, I urge Russian participants to have business empathy. Try to see your project through the eyes of a Chinese partner, and take care not only of your own risks, but also of the risks of the other party." - Maxim Kuznetsov emphasized.
