In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Chinese subjects worked in the mountain gold mines of Siberia and the Far East. According to historical evidence, part of the gold mined by Chinese workers was stolen, smelted, and smuggled to China. The smuggling of gold across the Russian-Chinese border provoked the growth of serious and especially serious crimes. Chinese miners were hunted by Chinese and Russian bandits who robbed and killed workers.

Economists and historians have identified the period between 1870 and 1914 as one marked by the movement of capital and labor across the globe at unprecedented speed. The accompanying spread of the gold standard and industrial techniques contained volatile and ambiguous implications for workers everywhere. Industrial engineers made new machinery and industrial techniques the measure of human effort. The plight of workers in South Africa's deep-level gold mines in the era following the Anglo-Boer War of 1899–1902 provides a powerful example of just how lethal the new benchmarks of human effort could be. When by 1904 close to 50,000 Africans refused to return to the mines, mining policy began to coalesce around solving the “labor shortage” problem and dramatically reducing working costs. Engineers, especially American engineers, rapidly gained the confidence of the companies that had made large investments in the deep-level mines of the Far East Rand by bringing more than 60,000 indentured Chinese workers to the mines to make up for the postwar shortfall in unskilled labor in late 1904. But the dangerous working conditions that drove African workers away from many of the deep-level mines persisted. Three years later, in 1907, their persistence provoked a bitter strike by white drill-men.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the state and prospects of Russian-Chinese regional cooperation, a historical overview of the main stages of more than a decade of Sino-Russian regional cooperation, which starts since the signing of the “Plan of Cooperation between the North-East of the People's Republic of China and the Far East of the Russian Federation and Eastern Siberia (2009-2018)” in 2009. The article considers the development of the Northeast region as a key national strategy of China, and the development of the Far East and Eastern Siberia as an important aspect of Russian policy; it analyses the policy documents of the Chinese Government aimed at making the North-East region an internationally competitive industrial base for the production of equipment, new raw materials and energy resources, vital commodities and agricultural production, as well as important national technologies; here is characterized by the federal target program for the economic and social development of the Far East and Transbaikalia approved by the Government of the Russian Federation and the “Strategy for the socio-economic development of the Far East and the Baikal region until 2025”, as well as the “Plan for cooperation between the northeast region of the People's Republic of China and the Far East and Eastern Siberia of the Russian Federation”, where regional cooperation is positioned as a logical choice for economic development. The article analyzes the results of regional cooperation: the construction of infrastructure and transport facilities connecting the ports of the two parties, the construction of industrial complexes, cooperation in the field of forestry and agriculture, etc. The article comments on the main problems of Sino-Russian regional cooperation and ways to solve them, defines the prospects for the development of this cooperation in the context of the “Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China on cooperation to combine the construction of the Eurasian Economic Union and the Silk Road Economic Belt”. The article concludes that in today's highly developed Sino-Russian strategic partnership, regional cooperation is very important for further strengthening economic ties between the two countries, deepening mutual understanding between the two peoples and promoting the comprehensive development of bilateral relations.
