The gate was closed in 1970 and only two persons were left at the Chinese customs post to take charge of postal matters because postal communications were never suspended bewteen^([sic – meaning between]) the two countries. The two trading posts in Xinjiang opened simultaneously on 16 November 1983. Now although Huoerguosi past has a dozen customs officers, they are still understaffed. More than a hundred Soviet trucks cross the border daily and there is a continuous flow fo Soviet citizens crossing the border to visit their relatives.
