Is China (Silently) Planning to Annex Russian Territory Once war in Ukraine is over?

  3. Not silently; they’ve probably negotiated it as a peaceful transfer of power in exchange for some cheaply produced garbage that Russia can’t afford with their economy going down the drain.

  4. If I were China, maybe I’d be looking at the Sakhalin and Tatarskiy oil/gas fields, stage forces in Heilongjiang and launch across eastern Russian to cut off and take Vladivostok while the Navy lands troops on Sakhalin. From their perspective it could be good practice for the eventual invasion of Taiwain, testing of tactics and whatnot.

  6. Yes on the gentle way like in Africa.
    At some time Russia will realize that for instance Vladivostok
    is completely owned by China. The port, the streets, infrastructure, …
    all restored or newly built by Chinese contractors with secret contracts.
    And it has already begun.

  7. I don’t think so, not when they still want to use Russia against the west

  10. A fairly substantial chunk of eastern Russia used to be part of China.

  14. China needs oil from an overland source. Right now it’s trivially easy for the US navy to shut down all their imports and thus their entire economy and military. Siberia is the most sane option for a significant overland pipeline. But China won’t let Russia control critical infrastructure.

  15. No. A relationship with Russia is key when they try to take Taiwan. They’ll need oil, Russia has oil, and Taiwan is worth 1000 Vladivostoks.

  16. I mean NOW why their entire military is diverted elsewhere would be the best time for them to make a move.

  17. Why would they wait for the war to end?

    Seems like a much more successful strategy to go now while the bulk of the ruzzian military is dealing with Ukraine thousands of miles away.

  18. You all want China and Russia to fight so bad it’s hilarious.

  19. >Once war in Ukraine is over?

    It’s more applicable to say “when the moment is right”, which may or may not be once war in Ukraine is over. But they will definitely go for it if they can get away with it.

  21. If Russia catastrophically collapses they might make a move. Otherwise the wiser strategy would be to just exert ever more influence over the whole of Russia. Why move border stones somewhere in eastern Siberia when Chinese overlords could just as well move freely from Vladivostok to the Baltic Sea.

    The question is how much brain rot there is in Xi’s head compared to Putin 2022.

  23. Sure. Let’s forget about the 6k nukes Russia has.

    Would be fun though.

  24. No. China does not trust Russia and is furious that it has lost control over North Korea. The one who is taking the most advantage of the situation at this point is North Korea. Besides, NK know that today’s ally may not be your ally tomorrow. Yes, they don’t trust the Russians either, but they hide it well and China will be always there with open arms to receive NK again.

  25. Internal fights and sh*t while playing the big sick game as partners. A classic (maybe used against them), by “leaking it”.
