“What they used to buy in the USA, now we are actively negotiating with our Chinese partners on agriculture and other areas with the goal of switching China to the Russian market,” he said.

According to him, on the one hand, "China's economy will not feel very good, but from the point of view of relations, we will move forward."

Oreshkin added that a “renaissance” has begun in relations between the United States and China.

“The Chinese economy will not experience the best periods, but we will hope that there will be no negative impact on relations between Russia and China. Our turnover is growing, $ 108 billion last year, positive dynamics this year, ”he said.

On August 5, China temporarily stopped purchasing agricultural products from the United States. Beijing also did not rule out an increase in duties on these products.
