China has shown an interest in acquiring Russian technology for building and operating icebreaker ships, the head of Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation said Friday.

"We have [received] no specific orders from [our] Chinese partners, but there is a great desire to start technological cooperation in this area," Alexey Rakhmanov said said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
