这篇报道揭示了乌克兰战争对中国的影响，强调中国在这场全球危机中的战略立场。文章指出，中国不仅通过巧妙的外交手段保持了与俄罗斯的关系，还巧妙地从乌克兰危机中获取了经济和地缘政治利益。这种灵活而务实的外交政策展现了中国的国际智慧。然而，对于中国如何平衡与俄罗斯和西方国家的关系，文章似乎未深入分析。同时，我们也需要关注中国是否能在国际舞台上履行更积极的责任，为全球和平与稳定贡献更多。这篇报道为读者提供了一个深入思考中国在当前国际局势中的作用的视角，但也引发了更多问题，需要更多深入的调查和分析。
On China’s snowy border with Russia, a dealership that sells trucks has seen its sales double in the past year thanks to Russian customers. China’s exports to its neighbor are so strong that Chinese construction workers built warehouses and 20-story office towers at the border this summer.
The border town Heihe is a microcosm of China’s ever closer economic relationship with Russia. China is profiting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has led Russia to switch from the West to China for purchases of everything from cars to computer chips.
Russia, in turn, has sold oil and natural gas to China at deep discounts. Russian chocolates, sausages and other consumer goods have become plentiful in Chinese supermarkets. Trade between Russia and China surpassed $200 billion in the first 11 months of this year, a level the countries had not expected to reach until 2024.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has also gotten an image boost from China. State media disseminates a steady diet of Russian propaganda in China and around the world. Russia is so popular in China that social media influencers flock to Harbin, the capital of China’s northernmost province in the east, Heilongjiang, to pose in Russian garb in front of a former Russian cathedral there.
