Many items sold out at Russian specialty stores

As Western countries impose sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine , even Russian kittens are being sanctioned , some Chinese buyers have snapped up all the goods on a Russian e-commerce store on JD.com .

According to the editor, recently, many netizens have flocked to the Russia National Pavilion on JD.com , which is an online store that mainly sells Russian food on JD.com and is the only officially certified e-commerce store of the Russian Embassy in China .

According to JD.com’s registration information , the store is affiliated with a Sino-foreign joint venture whose legal representative is Sergey Batsev, the Chinese representative of the Russian Commercial Company , an organization representing small and medium-sized entrepreneurs in Russia outside of commodities.

The store sells mainly Russian brand chocolate biscuits priced from ¥ 16.8 , mineral water and imported Don Orchard multi-flavored mixed fruit juice drinks .

Most of the products in the store are now sold out . This prompted the store to release a video in which Sergey thanked Chinese consumers for their support for Russia "in such difficult times." "In this complex and changing international situation, we see the friendship of our old friends in China. " At the same time, he also urged Chinese consumers to shop rationally.

In response, some netizens joked that this was their way of sanctioning Russia, buying up the country's snacks so that Russians couldn't buy them themselves. Another netizen joked, "Can they let Putin sell goods live? That way my shopping desire will swell. "

In fact, Chinese netizens are usually not too radical when facing some issues . On the contrary, netizens often express their stance by refusing to buy goods from certain brands. Last year, brands such as Nike and H&M were unanimously boycotted by netizens for announcing that they would not use Xinjiang cotton .
