CHINA Is Using Russia's Expansion into Crimea As An Excuse to Grab Vast Amounts of Land in RUSSIA?

I always knew this would happen sooner or later. There are about ten times as many Chinese as Russians and most of Siberia is empty of people but chocked full of natural resources. Do the math.

I agree. For China, its all about the natural resources that they can grab. Siberia is a vast open land with lots of resources that Russia hasn't even begun to tap. China being friendly with Russia now gives them easier access to this land. Russia better watch out!

Nice post; sound theories !

Few people are ever able to 'add up' current REALITIES, and come to 'future conclusions' !

Eagle

:ohlook:

This precedent wasnt set by Russia but by Nato in their war against Serbia and the secession of Kosovo from Serbia without approval of central authorities...The international court said it is fine to secede from a country without approval from central gov. back then...So Russia legally annexed Crimea

So, with your logic, China then does have the authority to take back their land in Siberia?

u played Dungeon and Dragons too??

that is possible. Only after US-RU war happens. RU will be very stupid to bet all on China, or India. They both are much older, outlived many others, and wait for their moment in history.

If Siberia organised a referendum and asked to be annexed by China it would be legal yep...But I think most siberians are russian so...
militarily they cannot take it anyway because Russia has nukes...

Inaccurate historical info.

For all those who claim this is "bullshit" or inaccurate, see this article at NY times as well. They don't usually print "bullshit" or "inaccurate historical facts"

Why China Will Reclaim Siberia

“A land without people for a people without land.” At the turn of the 20th century, that slogan promoted Jewish migration to Palestine. It could be recycled today, justifying a Chinese takeover of Siberia. Of course, Russia's Asian hinterland isn't really empty (and neither was Palestine). But Siberia is as resource-rich and people-poor as China is the opposite. The weight of that logic scares the Kremlin.

Moscow recently restored the Imperial Arch in the Far Eastern frontier town of Blagoveshchensk, declaring: “The earth along the Amur was, is and always will be Russian.” But Russia's title to all of the land is only about 150 years old. And the sprawl of highrises in Heihe, the Chinese boomtown on the south bank of the Amur, right across from Blagoveshchensk, casts doubt on the “always will be” part of the old czarist slogan.



Like love, a border is real only if both sides believe in it. And on both sides of the Sino-Russian border, that belief is wavering.

Siberia – the Asian part of Russia, east of the Ural Mountains – is immense. It takes up three-quarters of Russia's land mass, the equivalent of the entire U.S. and India put together. It's hard to imagine such a vast area changing hands. But like love, a border is real only if both sides believe in it. And on both sides of the Sino-Russian border, that belief is wavering.

The border, all 2,738 miles of it, is the legacy of the Convention of Peking of 1860 and other unequal pacts between a strong, expanding Russia and a weakened China after the Second Opium War. (Other European powers similarly encroached upon China, but from the south. Hence the former British foothold in Hong Kong, for example.)

The 1.35 billion Chinese people south of the border outnumber Russia's 144 million almost 10 to 1. The discrepancy is even starker for Siberia on its own, home to barely 38 million people, and especially the border area, where only 6 million Russians face over 90 million Chinese. With intermarriage, trade and investment across that border, Siberians have realized that, for better or for worse, Beijing is a lot closer than Moscow.

OP -

Have they expressed such desire? No?
So stfu kthxbye

So this is US psychological warfare?

When did we forget that Russia consumed Crimea because of ancient tech under a newly discovered pyramid.

All these country-heads jump on new tech to control the masses and keep history hidden.

The script for WWIII was written a long time ago. And the demi-gogs in office are fulfilling their roles.

Are we back to this again...?
China and Russia are allies, get over it.

I think Russia will cede Siberia to the Chinese, they have already ditched the Stans - Russia is looking forward to taking Europe when it collapses into jihadi civil war.

Now you know why Russia insisted in pushing through the BAM. [link to sahipkiran.org]
