So let me get something straight.

USA and China: tariffs, sanctions, proclamations of a trade war (spoken from trump, unspoken from Biden), inching towards an actual war.

Yanks get a week visa free.

Russia and China: massive trade, ever growing flow of resources in exchange for products, infrastructure projects to make said resource flow grow bigger still, proclamations of "friendship without limits".

Russians require a visa with no change in sight.

Am I getting it right?

Yea but thats only to Hainan, which is the farthest part of china from Russia lol, it's around the distance from Mexico to Canada.

True, just pointing out that it does exist. Northern provinces certainly be easier to get to from Russia. :)

They do have a 10 day transit visa free but need proof of departure afterwards, same for México 😞 i doublechecked.
