Media in Russia: Chinese fiber optic cable prices have risen four times the original price
China sells fiber optic cables to Russia, and the price has directly increased to four times the original price. This is really realistic.
In early 2025, the price of fiber optic cable was 16 yuan per kilometer.
By January 2026, it had risen to 40 yuan.
Russian manufacturers and operators have confirmed this news.
Fiber optic cable is the core material for installing network lines.
Now that AI is developing rapidly, the global demand for fiber optic cables is surging, but the capacity cannot keep up.
China controls most of the global fiber optic cable production capacity.
Russia's own fiber optic cable factories have shut down, so they can only buy from China.
The West does not sell it to them, so they have no other choice.
A netizen said that if the price rises domestically in China, the export price follows suit.
This is not intentional targeting, but determined by market conditions.
Previously, we sold it too cheaply, now it is returning to normal prices.
Having the technology and production capacity makes you strong.
I believe that if you have the ability, others will respect you.
Watching China's industries become stronger, it feels great.
