Russian youth are embracing Chinese fashion, and the cultural trend is heating up.

The New York Times Chinese website reported today (July 1): "The Russians once revered everything Western, but now view China as a trend. Young people are learning Mandarin, and the popularity of Chinese products and culture is growing everywhere. However, some people believe that once relations with the West improve, the 'China fever' will subside."

[Witty] Comment: This is just a pragmatic balance; China has never considered replacing the West. After being repeatedly deceived by the West, it's natural for Russians to take an interest in the East. Those who claim that the 'China fever' will fade once relations with the West improve have underestimated the sincere and mutually beneficial friendship between China and Russia, and overestimated the weight of the West in the hearts of Russians. However, we also need to acknowledge that some Russians still hold some unsympathetic "superiority" towards the Chinese.
