"It is not visible how China's creeping expansion is slowly alienating Russian territories," Sergey Aslanyan stressed.

Many years ago, a large number of Russian lands were closed to Russians themselves. Enclaves for timber processing, smuggling poaching – all this was guarded by the Chinese. Even now, some local border regions say that they are afraid to go deep into the territories because there are Chinese guards around the perimeter. They're armed.

"If you read the Chinese media outlets, they say that you should not invest in the economy of neighboring territories, but you should allow your locals to assimilate these territories in order to enter them and then begin to develop," said Aslanyan.

If Russia decides to start an armed conflict with Europe/"The West", then this is what will most likely happen.

Xi and his cabinet are only interested in widening "the central kingdom", and unlike Putin, Xi is no fool.

If it happens, Russia is facing economies it cannot oppose and it will lose. At that point, Xi will help Europe in some way, and as Russia loses - and loses hard - certain Eurasian oblasts and republics will be absorbed into China...

..which is good for those republics and oblasts, because Russia dgaf about them. Their only reason to exist is to give Moscow taxes, with no services or infrastructure levied can, something that will also help to motivate these oblasts and republics from Russia.

Again, Putin and his government are morons.
