Attracting foreign capital entails the use of foreign labor. External labor resources have been one of the factors in the development of agriculture in the Far Eastern regions over the past 20 years. Attraction of foreign labor and investment in the agriculture of the regions has ambiguous consequences for the development of these regions. The current situation in the spring of 2020, associated with the closure of the borders of the Russian Federation, revealed the role of the Chinese factor for the regions of the Russian Far East. The peculiarities of attracting Chinese workers to the agriculture of the Russian regions are well traced in the example of the Jewish Autonomous Region, which is located on the border with Heilongjiang Province (PRC). The peculiarities of the region's geographical location influenced the formation of stable Russian-Chinese relations in agriculture. The paper examines the processes of Russian-Chinese interaction in agriculture on the example of the Jewish Autonomous Region. The change in the role of Chinese citizens in the development of agriculture and rural areas of the border region of the Russian Far East is shown. Two periods of Russian-Chinese interaction in agriculture of the Jewish Autonomous Region are highlighted and characterized. The first period (early 2000s - late 2000s) is characterized by a decrease in the area of arable land in the region, attracting cheaper Chinese migrants by local and Chinese agricultural producers. The second period of 2010-2020, this time, a system of lending to local farmers by Chinese partners for the future harvest, an increase in the area of arable land, an increase in the yuan exchange rate led to a higher level of wages of Chinese workers. Chinese farmers are hiring local people. It is concluded that the peculiarity of the development of agriculture with the participation of the Chinese factor in the Russian Far East is that the Chinese were present and are present as investors, producers, workers, and farmers. In addition, most of the soybeans produced in the region are exported to China.

This chapter examines Russian officials’ debates and policies regarding Koreans in the Maritime Province from 1880 to the 1920s. It sees these policies as part of a broader project to revise the practice of plural jurisdiction, in which the empire ruled its vast territories and peoples through a flexible legal regime. Amidst a growing wave of nativist sentiment, officials aimed to standardize the privileges respectively held by subjects and foreigners and to institutionalize borders. In the Russian Far East, suspicions about the interference of the Korean, Chinese, and Japanese governments led officials to categorize the resident Korean population as subjects and aliens, experiment with policies to ban the settlement of Koreans in the border region, institute border and passport laws, and discuss the benefits and dangers of continued Asian migration to Russia. The chapter further explores how Koreans subverted these laws and policies to their own ends.

The Russian Far East

For several centuries the overall trend in the world development has been along the way paved by Western civilization. Hence, the predominant flow has been based on borrowed Western cultural features. The issue of cultural interaction among nations with different culture types became fairly topical in contemporary society. Humankind now faces the legacy of moral decline of the past century and is trying to find a way out of its ideological dead end through other cultures and civilizations. In addition, the globalization processes that developed towards the end of the last century have also embraced the nations' cultural ties, turning the cross-cultural communication into an integral part of humankind's existence. The unique role of Russia in Northeastern Asia calls for an answer to the following question: Is there any cultural interaction between the Russian Far East, on the one hand, and the East Asian nations, on the other? And if so, what are its manifestations and how big are they?

Special attention is paid to the sea ports of the Russian Far East. At the same time, a special study was carried out, which allowed to distinguish four special clusters. Each of these clusters requires a special application of the forces of all levels of management to develop appropriate strategies. The role of labour potential in the implementation of the proposed strategies was also noted.
