Authorities in Heilongjiang and Russian online traders are working to create Internet platforms for bilateral e-commerce projects. Five such platforms, supporting a total trade flow of over 100 million yuan ($15.7 million), are expected to be launched by 2020.

"We are working together with China’s leading e-commerce platforms to build a network of platforms for cross-border online trade," Lu told Sputnik.

The e-commerce project aims at creating two cross-border payment systems and nine warehouses along the Russian-Chinese border in the Heilongjiang province that would handle the increasing bulk of transshipped goods.
