Russian experts say Russia may benefit from the U.S.-China conflict and could become a new trade hub.

Russian experts: Russia can "benefit greatly" from the China-US conflict. Recently, Russian Sinologist Nikolai Vavilov said in an interview with the media that if a conflict arises between China and the United States over the Taiwan Strait issue, the Russian Far East will gain significant "development incentives." He believes that just as China will not get involved, Russia will also not get involved in the Taiwan Strait conflict, and will become a "friendly neutral third party." However, the Russian Far East will "partially benefit from the closure of maritime trade and may become a green corridor for transporting goods from China to Europe."

Comments: This view of the Russian expert reveals a shrewd geopolitical strategy of Russia in the China-US conflict. By strengthening the development of the Far East, especially the port and logistics construction of the Primorsky Krai, Russia can not only fill the market gap caused by the interruption of Sino-US trade, but also enhance its regional trade hub status by relying on mechanisms such as the "green corridor." This "neutral third party" role avoids the risk of Russia being involved in the conflict, while also making full use of the opportunities brought by great power rivalry. Even if there is a conflict between China and the United States, it can maximize the protection of Russia's economic interests and consolidate its geopolitical influence in the Asia-Pacific region.
