The Impact of the Socio-Economic Development of Russia and China on Their Bilateral Migration Processes in Modern Conditions

The article examines the impact of socio-economic development of Russia and China on migration processes in modern conditions. In the context of globalization, both Russia and China are becoming not only recipient countries, but also exporting countries of migration flows. The economic development of both countries, characterized by a high level of growth, the introduction of innovative technologies and changes in social policy, creates a new context for migration. Chinese migrants are actively involved in the Russian economy, taking positions in such areas as construction, trade and agriculture. At the same time, Russian specialists come to China to participate in educational and scientific programs, which contributes to the establishment of bilateral cooperation. The article focuses on factors that contribute to migration, such as economic opportunities, standard of living and social infrastructure. Negative aspects are also examined, including difficulties in integrating migrants and possible social tensions. The globalization of digital transformation is also reflected in the trends of the migration process. Its impact on migration processes between Russia and China is multifaceted. As noted in the work, simplified access to information, automation of visa processes, creation of employment platforms, as well as development of a support network significantly change the migration landscape. The purpose of this scientific article is to comprehensively analyze the impact of socio-economic development of Russia and China on migration processes in modern conditions. The study is aimed at identifying key factors contributing to migration between the two countries, as well as assessing the consequences of these migration flows for both Russia and China themselves, and for migrants.
