Jewish State cedes territory to China

Well it's not actually a Jewish state, in fact it's barely Jewish at all. So it's not Jewish, nor is it a state but Birobidzhan, the former Jewish Autonomous Region of the former USSR, is ceding territory to China. Oh, ok, well it's not ceding terrritory to China. It has signed a bilateral cooperation protocol "with a delegation of the people’s government of the city of Jiamusa of the Heilongjiang province headed by its mayor Li Haitao." And the agreement doesn't actually cede territory, it leases it.

The Chinese delegation also expressed an intention to begin developing one of iron-ore fields, the reserves of which in the region exceed one billion tonnes, and take part in joint exploring of oil and gas fields. According to specialists’ estimates, the region’s oil reserves exceed 100 million tonnes.

The protocol also envisages trade, cultural, educational, medical and other forms of cooperation.

So no boycott there then.
