Interesting so who is right?


Acording to the article the number of Chinese just i the east is 10 to 100 times more. The numbers are out cionsiderakly. Not just a couple of percent. From the article it seems that almost every 2nd person i the Far East is Chines e now.

The scale of Chinese immigration in the Russian Far East has been a contested
issue. By different estimates, the number of Chinese immigrants in the Russian
Far East in 1993 ranged from 200,000 to 2 million people. By 1993, however, the
entire population of the three continental southern territories of the Far East,
which were the focus of immigration, was only 4.8 million people.

Then in an article in Pravda I saw only a few days ago it writes about hiw the Chinese immigration to Moscow just this year is close to 200,000 and for the first time is larger that the Ukrainian presence there?

Why are the statistics so far off what is being reported in the press and being perceived by the poeple?

Whose interested in such manipulaton?
