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.

    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.
