ANALYSIS OF MUTUAL BILATERAL TRADE BETWEEN CHINA AND RUSSIA ON THE BASIS OF TRADE MAP TOOL
The article presents a ten- year period study (2009 - 2018) of bilateral trade between Russia and China based on Trade Map analytical tool. Time series analysis of exports of each of these countries to the partner country were constructed and it is shown that Russia’s exports to China for the first time exceeded China’s exports to Russia in 2018 due to huge supplies of mineral fuels (crude oil and petroleum products).The paper also shows a non-equivalent nature of trade between the two countries, since Russia supplies mainly to China raw materials, and China to Russia - technologically intensive products.
