“We congratulate you on Crimea, but don’t write about it anywhere,” they tell Russian journalists. But they still write, although they do not name the officials.

The author notes the friendly reception provided by the Chinese side. According to him, the Chinese remember with gratitude the help of the USSR in creating the basis of the industry in Sichuan province, where today 55% of iPads and Lenovo equipment are assembled. Moreover, two Soviet electronics factories still operate there.
