With China so convinced of its own unstoppability, so assured of their "Heaven-mandated" right to conquer, and Russia's Far-Eastern troops spread so thin as so many of them have been sent to Ukraine, there's little Putin can do to stop China from helping itself to still more Russian land, especially considering how weak the Russian Army has proven itself to be. But Russians needn't be alarmed. After all...
...I'm sure China won't annex anything without holding a democratic referendum
first.
I don't think China can take over Russian land while the Chinese economy is currently collapsing.Dear @patriamreminisci !
Well, between China's economy and Russia's governmental structure, which is collapsing faster? China needs Russian mineral resources and Russia needs Chinese money and equipment, and even though the RMB is down, the Ruble is down even lower. I think it may be truer to say "China MUST take over Russian land now BECAUSE their economy is collapsing."
Perhaps you're right and I'm wrong (both have happened before), but let us see.
Either way, they have drawn their line around Russian territory, which means sooner or later, when Russia is weak enough, they'll claim it.
Rob, I agree with you!
However, if China takes Vladivostok
Korea and Japan will become hostile toward China because of China's desire to conquer territory.
Currently, China says it has 100 nuclear missiles aimed at the Korean Peninsula.
China says the US cannot stop all 100 nuclear missiles.
So, Koreans want China to invade Taiwan.
The Patriot missile system in Ukraine proved it can intercept 97 out of 100 of Russia's best missiles, and China's missiles are slower and easier to detect. And THAAD, which the US has in South Korea, is more effective than the Patriot system. So this boast by China is somewhat laughable. But I see your point.
Rob!
Even if just one Chinese nuclear missile lands on the Korean Peninsula, hell will break out!😂
