Patrushev: Russia, China can reshape global geoeconomic map via maritime trade

Russian presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev asserted that Russia and China can jointly alter the global geoeconomic landscape by making maritime trade cheaper, more accessible, and protected from military escalation, piracy, and sanctions. This rhetoric signals deepening Sino-Russian alignment on strategic logistics initiatives, though it remains declarative without concrete projects. The statement underscores Moscow's push to counter Western sanctions and expand influence in global trade routes.
