Shipping containers from China are “piling up” in Russia amid a surge of Chinese goods flowing into the country as trade soars, a new analysis has found.

Russia has an extra 150,000 shipping containers that importers are scrambling to return to China, logistics platform Container xChange said in a report released Thursday, citing information provided by a customer.

“There is significant cargo movement from China into Russia but very scarce movement back to China from Russia. Containers are piling up in Russia which means that the secondhand container prices are very low in Russia,” CEO Christian Roeloffs said in the report.

    The US helping a country defend from modern day imperialism is not a bad thing, you simple minded fool. Not ALL things the US does is bad.

      Yay the US defends Ukraine against imperialism while invading Iraq and Afghanistan and funding Syrian rebels in a gross display of imperialism. A broken clock is right twice a day.

      You may think that, but most that have looked at both sides and other wars have learned to not trust gov’ts so blindly.

      We remember what is pushing China and Russia into more conflicts, while the poor die for the military industrial complex.

      Profit over people as always.

      Just to be clear, Putin and his oligarchy of henchmen are the problem.

      Regime wars do not help the people, it creates more death/starvation/migration and much more.

          Golden Bridge is required for Russia to back down, unless they gain more area to land lock and then they may try to start peace talks agian.

            Because Russia backed down the last time they took over land from Ukraine and gained Crimea… and they backed down the time they took over Ossettia from Georgia.

            If you give Russia anything just to stop this war, they’ll only come back to do it again because you will have taught them if they attack they will win something.

              That is true.

              Just know animals bite when cornered, so golden bridge is required or expect a hostile response.

        Neither does annexing your neighbor and committing war crimes, or turning a blind eye and allowing Russia to do this without consequence.

            The rest of the world couldn’t assist because WWII was going on, and Simo Häyhä is long dead. Ignoring Russia at this point would be more like appeasement of Nazis as they annexed neighbors than it would be like the Winter War. Also, Finland lost 9% of its territory to Russia at the treaty ending it. This is not an acceptable outcome for Ukraine.

              Then the war will continue until Russia gains the advantage or a golden bridge to backdown is offered.

              Superpowers do not backdown until they gain something.

              The US presidents used to be the ones to start peace talks, now they just start more wars.

                These are not the only possible victory conditions, overwhelming defeat and expulsion of the occupiers would also end the war. Russia does not have limitless troops and resources, nor does their morale seem to be very high.

                The USSR and the US both backed down in Afghanistan, gaining nothing.

                The US also backed down in Vietnam, gaining nothing.

                Ukraine is Russia’s Vietnam. They will leave Ukraine when they realize they will never gain anything by staying.

          Only when Russia wins more land, until they reach the sea, peace talks will be talked about again.

          Superpowers do not back down without gaining something in return.

          The US president used to be the one to start talks instead of helping start more wars.

              Come on now, no need to lie. Nuclear missles and other technology makes them superpowers.

              Seeing both sides can help get you out of the bubble of the US/NATO propaganda. They keep pushing for endless wars and profiting off of them, while the poor keep dying for the wealthy class.

                Seeing both sides? OK, Russia wants to take over a country that isn’t theirs by murdering, raping, kidnapping, and destroying simply because Russia feels entitled to something it doesn’t have. US doesn’t want Russia to gain strength so they help to prevent/stop the murdering, raping, kidnapping, and destroying.

                It’s almost like one side is doing something bad with bad intents while the other is doing something good with bad intents. I’m pretty sure I’ll approve of doing good things even if the motive isn’t pure.

                  It may be true, but other side would be by independent journalists that are not a part of the status quo.

                  They will still call out the crimes Putin has done, but they also expalin what lead up to this decades long conflict.

                  Stopping the framing that claims Putin is just another villian/boogeyman in a story/movie, we need to see beyond that.

                  They are leaders of countries, ruled by the wealthy class to help themselves stay in power. Gov’ts will always fight against other gov’ts for power/resources/information. While the people in the countries suffer and die.

                Sorry but having nuclear weapons and ‘other technology’ doesn’t make a nation a super power. Outside of the cyber and disinformation realm they can barely exert influence outside of their own borders. You could even make the argument that they don’t even have complete control within their own borders as they have been unable to prevent attacks from occurring internally within their controlled territory.

                A super power has complete sovereignty over their territories and global influence across multiple domains of which very very few countries could be considered to have that. Russia can barely project their power against what should have been a much weaker adversary. Also before you spout off some nonsense about the US/NATO arming Ukraine and unfairly tipping the scales… If Russia were a true superpower they would not only have the military ability to project their power but they could also use their soft power in building a coalition of nations to accomplish their goals. They have failed to do either at this point.

                If nukes start to go flying, there will be no winner. The rest of the planet still exists, and many of them have nukes too.

                It’s also not like every country would announce every strong secret weapon that they have, especially when wars are still happening.

            What did the US gain in Vietnam?

            What did the USSR gain in Afghanistan?

            Superpowers have a long history of leaving quagmires with their tails tucked between their legs.
