Where is this statue?

Accepted answer

This statue is in Heihe (黑河), Heilongjiang, China, on a riverside promenade on the south side of the Amur River, opposite the Russian city of Blagoveshchensk to the north. Here's a random visitor's album of other sights in the vicinity, and here are a few more views of the statue:

The inscription reads "知識就是力量" (知识就是力量 in Simplified Chinese), or "Knowledge is power", a reference to Francis Bacon's famous phrase and much pithier than the Arabic article claims.
