The Chinese Embassy in Russia warned against illegal gold mining in Russia. Russia imposes strict national controls on mining gold and other minerals within its territory, and illegal metal mining by foreign citizens in Russia is a serious offense. The relevant regions of Russia have introduced or are promoting the introduction of relevant policies prohibiting foreign citizens from engaging in gold mining, and are continuing to step up the crackdown on illegal work or illegal gold mining activities. Chinese citizens have already been punished for this, with deportation, huge fines, and even prison sentences. The Chinese Embassy in Russia solemnly reminds Chinese citizens, enterprises and institutions in Russia to strictly abide by local laws and regulations, be wary of “high-wage gold mining” scams, and never take advantage of luck to engage in or participate in illegal gold mining activities.
