According to him, we are talking about the "implementation of a joint project for the development of agricultural land." “In Soviet times, more than 1 million hectares of agricultural land were in demand in Transbaikalia, today a little more than 200 thousand hectares,” the governor explained. Meanwhile, he continued, "in Russia there are no investors who want to master the Transbaikal lands large -scale." The reason for this, he called the unfavorable climate of the region.

Meanwhile, Chinese partners agree to put the tax records opened in Transbaikalia in Russia, as well as at least 75 percent to equip the states of these enterprises by local residents. Lease term - 49 years; The volume of investments is about 24 billion rubles.

Earlier, according to TASS, Huae Xingbang was not engaged in agriculture.

As the Open Russia reported , at the same St. Petersburg Forum, the acting The heads of the Jewish Autonomous Region, Alexander Levintal, stated that in its region 80 percent of the land are somehow controlled by the Chinese - "in different ways, legal and illegal." “At the same time, 80 percent of the earth is worn by soy, which kills the earth,” he noted.

Meanwhile, the head of the FMS Konstantin Romodanovsky claims that there is no Chinese expansion in Russia. Migrants from China in the country are only 10-20 thousand more than the Germans, the official says.
