Over the given period, China's exports to Russia have increased by 1.2 percent year-on-year to $45.36 billion, while exports from Russia to the Asian country have fallen by 6.4 percent to $52.02 billion. In November, bilateral trade reached $9. 19 billion, with China delivering to Russia goods worth $4.76 billion, and Russia's exports reaching $4.3 billion.
In 2019, the Russia-China trade grew by 3.4 percent to a record $110.75 billion. In early November, Russian Ambassador to Beijing Andrey Denisov said that the two countries maintained approximately the same dynamics in bilateral trade despite the negative impact of COVID-19, due to which they might keep the level of trade at $110 billion in 2020.
