It is almost certain that the US and EU will impose economic sanctions on Russia after Crimea becomes one of its territory. ANBOUND research team believes that Russia will have less contact with the international market due to the sanction and the country must find a new channel to contact with international market. Notably, Russia will turn to China for a solution. The longer Russia is under economic sanction, the higher the possibility for it to tap on Chinese market. This confirmed the earlier analysis from ANBOUND's chief researcher Chan Kung. He foresees that after the Ukraine Crisis, China will gain larger Russian market share and Russia would be more dependent on China.
