Trade between Russia and China is booming so much that shipping containers are ‘piling up’
cnn.com
Shipping containers from China are “piling up” in Russia amid a surge of Chinese goods flowing into the country as trade soars, a new analysis has found.
Russia has an extra 150,000 shipping containers that importers are scrambling to return to China, logistics platform Container xChange said in a report released Thursday, citing information provided by a customer.
“There is significant cargo movement from China into Russia but very scarce movement back to China from Russia. Containers are piling up in Russia which means that the secondhand container prices are very low in Russia,” CEO Christian Roeloffs said in the report.

Russia isn't a super power.
Come on now, no need to lie. Nuclear missles and other technology makes them superpowers.
Seeing both sides can help get you out of the bubble of the US/NATO propaganda. They keep pushing for endless wars and profiting off of them, while the poor keep dying for the wealthy class.
Seeing both sides? OK, Russia wants to take over a country that isn't theirs by murdering, raping, kidnapping, and destroying simply because Russia feels entitled to something it doesn't have. US doesn't want Russia to gain strength so they help to prevent/stop the murdering, raping, kidnapping, and destroying.
It's almost like one side is doing something bad with bad intents while the other is doing something good with bad intents. I'm pretty sure I'll approve of doing good things even if the motive isn't pure.
It may be true, but other side would be by independent journalists that are not a part of the status quo.
They will still call out the crimes Putin has done, but they also expalin what lead up to this decades long conflict.
Stopping the framing that claims Putin is just another villian/boogeyman in a story/movie, we need to see beyond that.
They are leaders of countries, ruled by the wealthy class to help themselves stay in power. Gov'ts will always fight against other gov'ts for power/resources/information. While the people in the countries suffer and die.
If Russia's a superpower then Ukraine is too.
Sorry but having nuclear weapons and 'other technology' doesn't make a nation a super power. Outside of the cyber and disinformation realm they can barely exert influence outside of their own borders. You could even make the argument that they don't even have complete control within their own borders as they have been unable to prevent attacks from occurring internally within their controlled territory.
A super power has complete sovereignty over their territories and global influence across multiple domains of which very very few countries could be considered to have that. Russia can barely project their power against what should have been a much weaker adversary. Also before you spout off some nonsense about the US/NATO arming Ukraine and unfairly tipping the scales.... If Russia were a true superpower they would not only have the military ability to project their power but they could also use their soft power in building a coalition of nations to accomplish their goals. They have failed to do either at this point.
If nukes start to go flying, there will be no winner. The rest of the planet still exists, and many of them have nukes too.
It's also not like every country would announce every strong secret weapon that they have, especially when wars are still happening.
