    1. I’m sure I remember seeing NCD suggest this as the ultimate funny thing for China, a year ago. Glad to see Chinese social media likes our ideas.
    2. I hope it spreads to the point where tankies bend over backwards to defend this as not expansions at all, while somehow being on the side of both russia and China.

      Calling it now: Russia has Siberia for 400 years and did dick with it. China can use Siberian resources better than Russia.

      It will always be about exploitation.

        and space. russia has struggled to build any population of note out east, whereas China has people ready to go and a few decades of belt-and-road construction as prep.

            iirc demographically, even after the one child policy and preference for boys for generations, the demographic split only went to 112 (male) to 100 women… which isn’t great no doubt but hardly a good reason to go north.

            the potential resource bounty and space on the other hand… no need to frame the issue as rapey

              This is a humorous shitposting community of degenerates, deplorables and malcontents, don’t tell me what to do. By the old gods and the new, I swear that no nubile virgins were involved in the making of this thread. Probably. Incels are just as welcome here as anyone else. You don’t even need pants in this club, but you do need a sense of the ridiculous.

    Lol please do it, it’d be funny.

    I mean, Russia is being worse to LGBT people compared to China’s treatment of LGBT people, so I guess its a slight improvement?

    But then, the firewall is much superior to russia’s, so its gonna get harder to bypass censorship.

    But good news, they gets free re-education to learn Social Harmony, and love peace, and love Xinnie the Pooh!

    Also, no more pronoun issues. Pronouns are always 他/他 (pronounced tā), gendered pronouns are a thing of the past. (Chinese language does not really use gendered pronouns)

      (Chinese language does not really use gendered pronouns)

      他(male) and 她(female), no?

      And also 它 for animal/object

      Or at least that’s what i learn when i’m in school, not sure if anything change.

        If you write 他 to refer to a woman on a test essay, you’d still get marked correct.

        Writing 她 to refer to a man would be incorrect.

        Basically

        他 = He OR She

        她 = She

        它 = It (refer to objects and non-human animals)

        他 is what gets used all the time to refer to both genders. 她 is rarely used, unless maybe in an English class to teach the difference between the English pronouns He and She.

        Also, they are all pronounced the same: (tā)

        You are correct. 他 for he, and 她 for she. However since they all sound the same, they’re only distinguished in writing.

          It’s not that they sound the same; they are the same and are just written differently. It was all 他 until in the 20th (I think) century they created 她 and 它 and made 他 for males only to make the language more European.

      They might not use genered pronouns, but they do a lot of referring to people as uncle/auntie/big sister/little brother and the like.

    Ok, it seems like the video talks about the dissolution of russia, not just weakened state. The video talks about the day US defeat russia and russia have to dissolve into multiple small countries. They afraid that once that happened, the newly formed independent state will be occupied by US(kinda like Afghanistan) and then china will lose their military strength. To prevent that, china need to annex(their word) it themselves. After that UN is not needed, and everything need to went through China.

    So basically its some ultranationalist wet dream in video form.

    China might actually win this border war for once. One of Russia’s only W streaks was the Sino-Soviet/Russian border wars.

    I’m not sure how I feel about this, because fuck Russia, but not fuck the Russians. Turnabout is always fair play, but where along Russia’s borders would we want another front? I am not well enough versed in Asian geopolitics.

      Yeah, fuck the Russian government for what they’ve done, but I still would have a very hard time supporting two giant forces built of working class no say people and slaughtered on both sides. The Chinese people don’t deserve it, neither do the Russians. propaganda clearly works around the globe. We know Russians believe different propaganda than China, U.S., Germany, Hungary, Turkey, UK… etc.

      All of it is different. But supporting any government attacking another right now only kills the people, not those creating the propaganda and spreading it.

      Korea and maybe very specific slivers of the Kazakh border are the only other places along the Russian border where there’s really even any sizable population on either side. in all other places its just people fighting with the trees and general mud / general frost.

      If you draw a line from the Caspian sea to Vladivostok, which would basically be the contact line between a Russo-Chinese conflict. the only places immediately in range a for either side that have a lot of people are parts of northeastern China, the city of Vladivostok the Korean Peninsula, and Uzbekistan. everywhere else both sides would logistically starve themselves. cause its just miles of nothing

    If they rebuild the Trans-Siberian Railway to Belt and Road high-speed rail standards, once there is peace, that will be great for travel.

    China has publicly included the loss of Manchuria to Russia in like 1905~ to be part of it’s great century of shame and that China considers it part of Greater China.

    Expanding North beyond that into Siberia would open up the arctic ocean to them, which if nobody does anything, will only get more valuable as we heat up

    If they wait 50 years they can annex it through a personal union, though it will lead to a temporary happiness drop with their other vassals
