Empty seat

65438+1October 15 is the first day that the Russian government implemented a quota system for foreigners to operate in the retail market. A market in Vladivostok Sports Street is now empty. Not long ago, there was a prosperous scene here: tropical fruits, vegetables, silkworm chrysalis and so on were sold everywhere, but now there are only some empty booths. Some retirees also visit this market from time to time.

Nina, a female citizen, said angrily, "I came here to buy food, but they turned it off." Seasoning is simply not available in regular stores, and vegetables are too expensive. The Chinese businessmen who used to run here were driven away by them. Today, a pair of socks made in China costs 50 rubles for Russians who are operating beside the market, while the price before 1 day was only 1/2. "

There is a Russian "friendship" market in Ussurisk (Shuangchengzi), which has been in operation for 12 years. It is a big market in the Russian Far East, with more than 300 employees. According to statistics, due to the large number of businessmen leaving China, the local market staff has been reduced by half, including security guards, cleaners, epidemic prevention personnel and inspectors.

Representatives of Russian immigrants in Primorsky Krai said that the evacuated Russian businessmen did not leave China. They are waiting for the Russian government to change its policy. In addition, many of them have legal documents to work in Russia. In order to abide by Russian laws, some Russian businessmen also try their best to find local people as salespeople, but not many people are willing to stand in front of the counter in China. China businessman "Ivan" told reporters: "What five Russians can do here, two China people can do."

The local government suggested that China businessmen move to shops and trade centers, but they were rejected. Genoa, a businessman from China, said, "Why did you move to the store? We spent a lot of money on market stalls, dormitories and visas. It should be understood that we don't want to stay here forever. If you don't need us, we can leave. "

In the coastal border market, the staff of the entry-exit administration department said that the implementation of the new regulations did not achieve the expected results. In the morning, the staff inspected the food market, and some China people and Vietnamese people were still doing business quietly. If you count their numbers and find that they exceed the regulations, the market will be fined, but no one (immigration) will do so.
