Claim 1: “China has made a decision to extend the visa-free regime with Russia until the end of 2027”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction between the provided web search results regarding the end date. One source explicitly states the visa-free policy for Russian citizens is extended to 'Dec. 31, 2027', while another source states the policy will run on a trial basis until '14 September 2026'.

CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results confirm that the visa-free entry applies to Russian visitors traveling for business, tourism, family and friend visits, exchanges, or transit purposes. While the duration is mentioned as '30-day' in the context of the general 50-country extension, the specific categories of travel for Russians are explicitly corroborated across multiple search results.
