Chinese Embassy in Russia reminds: Do not engage in illegal gold mining in Russia

Reminder from the Chinese Embassy in Russia: Do not engage in illegal gold mining in Russia. Russia exercises strict state control over the mining of gold and other mineral resources within its territory, and illegal gold mining by foreign citizens in Russia is a serious violation of the law. Relevant Russian regions have introduced or are pushing to introduce policies prohibiting foreign citizens from engaging in gold mining, and are continuously intensifying their crackdown on illegal employment or illegal gold mining activities. Chinese citizens have already been penalized for this, including deportation, heavy fines, and even imprisonment. The Chinese Embassy in Russia solemnly reminds Chinese citizens, enterprises, and institutions in Russia to strictly abide by local laws and regulations, beware of "high-paying gold rush" scams, and not to take chances by engaging in or participating in illegal gold mining activities.
