Russia has once again shown a new change in its position on the Tumen River issue! On July 30, according to Russian media, the news office of the Primorsky Krai government stated that the "Red Tumen River" Sino-Russian tourism project was launched in China. Russia said that the "Red Tumen River" project aims to preserve memory, develop tourism, and commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Second World War.
The main task now is to sign an agreement among Russia, China, and North Korea to use the Tumen River for tourism and cultural goals. To be honest, the fact that China and Russia are currently cooperating on this sensitive issue of the Tumen River indicates another new change in Russia's attitude. That Russia is willing to carry out such cooperation suggests what? This may indicate that Russia's mental block is gradually opening up.
Everyone knows that the most important concern regarding the Tumen River issue is the issue of access to the sea. Since China and Russia have begun to cooperate in developing tourism, it is by no means impossible for China, Russia, and North Korea to further cooperate in solving our problem of "looking at the ocean in despair." Obviously, the Tumen River issue is becoming less sensitive, which is a positive sign. We believe that with the further improvement of mutual trust between China and Russia, there will be more opportunities for substantial cooperation between China and Russia on the Tumen River issue.
