English is compulsory in Chinese school as well
Chinese doesn't have nothing in common with English. Generally Chinese have better English than Japanese and Korean.
Good job! You don't need separate characters for science though, just familiarity with reading alot about your field, so just keep reading. Huge advantage of Chinese is that technical Chinese is almost the same as regular Chinese. While technical English is nothing like regular English.
Chinese characters knowledge is exponential. First 1000 are hardest. Once you know 1000 most common, you can read regular books with dictionary which builds your vocabulary fast, then you will soon be able to pick up unknown characters by radicals and context. That will super speed your learning. The key is to not stop reading.
The quality of language teaching on Russian STEM programs is usually subpar and classes happen once or twice a week (in very rare cases - three times). I'm sceptical that this initiative will yield any promising results because it is too little to get a decent hold of Chinese language plus most people would be starting from zero unlike English that they learned at school and even then, most uni graduates have below average command of English.
I saw that the new hsk program will have some big changes and I personally think it's for the better.
Hsk 1 will go from 150 words to 500 words and 300 characters. Hsk 2 will go from 150 to 772 words and 300 characters.
I believe it's cumulative so at the end of the new hsk 2 you should know at least 1200~1300 words and 600 characters. That's a massive change compared to the 300 words at the end of the current hsk 2 study load. In the current system the same knowledge level will be reached after hsk 4.
I think getting hsk 2 level will take 2 years in the new system, while in the current hsk system getting hsk 4 will take you 3 years.
I personally think that the more compressed program will give learners a bigger feeling of having achieved some Chinese mastery after hsk 2.
I dont think Kazakhstan has gas shortage. it just need infrastructure to reach remote cities but those are small population.
Kazakhstan small market when total population is 16m. Not the size of market that Gazprom head need to visit.
on paper Russia trade little with Iran. but Iranian give credit of continue economic success to Russia.

This Avtodor visit to China. seem multi days visit.. They signed agreement after indicating they increase road machinery purchase from China previously. this could also indicate scale of construction that Russia is doing that it ran out of construction machinery so soon.
