China, Russia Customs Chiefs Meet in Shanghai, Sign Cooperation Minutes
The operative word is "minutes" — this is a procedural subcommittee session, not a sanctions or payments story, yet the technical agenda is where the substance sits. AEO mutual recognition and single-window data exchange are the plumbing that lets trade keep moving when banking and logistics channels are constrained, which is precisely why the format has outlived repeated Western pressure campaigns. Whether the agreed items translate into implemented systems rather than recurring talking points is the open question; watch for follow-through on mutual recognition before reading anything larger into it.
