Peaceful Chinese dragon

Experts cite the statement made by the representative of China at a meeting of the UN Security Council. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the world should respect the independence of Syria and its territorial integrity. These words gave some analysts a reason to talk about a “small” world war, to which China’s intervention in the Syrian conflict would lead. Other experts criticized the Russian-Chinese strategic alliance, questioning the "inviolability" of Beijing's loyalty. So what to expect from the Celestial?

As reported by 13 in October, the Chinese Agency Xinhua, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Syria’s political and media affairs adviser, Buseina Shaaban.

According to Comrade Wang Yi, Beijing advocates respect for the basic principles of international relations and opposes constant interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The decision on the fate of Syria should be taken by the Syrian people, said the Chinese diplomat.

On the same day, October 13, the English site of the Azerbaijani agency News Trend quoted Wang Yi’s statement at the meeting of the UN Security Council concerning Syria.

According to the Chinese diplomat, the world should respect the sovereignty of Syria, its independence and territorial integrity. Speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council, Wang Yi said: "China has no personal interest in the Middle East, and therefore is ready to play a constructive role" ("... China is ready to play a constructive role").

According to him, the world must take control of the humanitarian crisis in Syria and "promote the peace process."

Thus, from the statements of the diplomatic circles of China it is impossible to draw any conclusions about the desire of the PRC to “get involved” in the Syrian conflict and to arrange a new “world war”.

However, the same Trend cites the opinion of Mehmet Fatih Oztars, Vice-President of the Turkish Strategic Outlook Analytical Center of the Turkish Strategic Outlook Center.

He told Trend that China’s intervention in the Syrian conflict could lead to a small world war.

According to the analyst, the interests of many countries are intertwined in Syria. Someone supports President Bashar Assad, and someone supports terrorist organizations. Different "interests" of all the "parties involved" will completely change the regional boundaries, the expert believes. He also allows the creation of "new small states" that will gain control "over energy resources."

But, let me add, is China really going to support someone in the conflict in Syria? Assad? Not. Maybe terrorists? Or “moderate oppositionists,” as the US does? Not. Recall the words of a diplomat: "China has no personal interest in the Middle East ..."

Journalist "Independent newspaper" Vladimir Skosyrev writes: “The fiercer the war in Syria, the more China follows the parable of the monkey watching the tigers fight from the mountain. Beijing, the strategic partner of the Russian Federation, is not going to support it in this conflict. ”

The journalist also considered the speech of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China Wang Yi at a meeting of the UN Security Council. After quoting the fragment, the reporter asked himself a question: “But what exactly is the head of Chinese diplomacy thinking about the Russian military intervention in Syria, which has become almost the main topic of comments in the world media?” And he answered: “It’s not clear from a speech.” But Western leaders, beginning with Obama, blame Moscow for expanding its intervention in the Syrian conflict. And what is China? The dragon is silent.

“However, the Xinhua news agency, the official mouthpiece of Beijing, regularly sets out statements by representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry about the raids of our pilots and targets hit. Outlines, but refrains from commenting. This position recalls the famous Chinese parable about the wise monkey, which is watching the tigers fight from the mountain. ”


Meanwhile, other foreign analysts questioned the strength of the Russian-Chinese strategic partnership.

The site Eurasia Review An article was published by Ph.D. Subhash Kapila, an Indian analyst who graduated from the British Royal Military Academy in Camberley and served for a long time in the Indian army and later worked in the office of the Cabinet of Ministers and in diplomatic posts in Bhutan, Japan, South Korea and the United States.

In his opinion, Beijing’s “unpredictability” hinders the Russian-Chinese strategic alliance. The expert is convinced that the desire of the Celestial Empire is obvious: to become “the next global superpower”. Such a goal goes against Russian and American strategic interests.

Beijing is not loyal to either Moscow or the United States. Historical examples are known to everyone: even over the past few decades, the PRC has moved from a strategic proximity to the United States to an equal proximity to Russia. China "was never completely loyal" even to its former "ideological mentor and strategic patron" - the Soviet Union.

Russian-Chinese partnership - this is just so-called. a multi-year strategic agreement that emerged at the end of the 1990 era, which replaced the Cold War times.

The analyst does not consider such a partnership "strategic." This is only a reaction to the "rampant manifestations" of the strategic dominance of the United States in the past two decades.

The expert shows a lot of contradictions in the international politics of Russia and China.

Russia and China have different views on Japan. China regards Japan as an “irreconcilable enemy”: Beijing is attributed to historical experience and fears associated with a reappraisal of military priorities and defense philosophy by Japan.

Russia, despite the well-known territorial dispute with Japan over the islands, on the contrary, is seeking to establish good political and economic relations with Tokyo.

Another regional factor by which China and Russia differ is Vietnam. Russia has long been a strategic partner of Vietnam and had an ideological connection with it. Today, Russia has received a contract for the supply of six submarines to Vietnam, as well as missiles, combat aircraft and anti-ship missiles (anti-ship missiles). Russia is interested in seeing Vietnam “drop out” of the partnership with the United States.

China, which “aggressively balances on the brink of war and military aggression against Vietnam because of disputes in the South China Sea,” marks Vietnam as an “enemy”, despite its ideological proximity. China continues to escalate the conflict and ignores international norms and conventions, the expert said. Such unfriendly actions against China have aroused in the Vietnamese "strong anti-Chinese sentiment."

Now directly about China.

According to Subhash Kapila, Russia perceives China as a “long-term strategic threat,” especially in relation to the security and integrity of its Far Eastern regions, which “China licks” (there are already thousands of illegal Chinese immigrants, ”the author writes).

As for the Middle East, this region is the "decisive basis of Russian national security interests." And here, China, in addition to "rhetorical support of Russia in Syria," did not do anything substantial. The only thing is joint Russian-Chinese naval exercises in the Eastern Mediterranean this year.

In his previous articles, the Indian raised the topic of a possible reaction of Russia and China to engaging a bear or a dragon with the United States “in direct confrontation”. What will happen in this case? How will Moscow or Beijing behave if one of them turns out to be an opponent of Washington? The expert’s answer was this (and it has not changed now): neither Russia nor China will go “beyond rhetorical support”.

Finally, in Russia itself, according to analysts, there is a “strong opposition” opposing a strategic alliance with China. The argument of opponents of rapprochement with the Middle Kingdom is clear: the delivery of a colossal amount of energy resources to China and the sale of arms to it will strengthen its military potential. The latter, in turn, will greatly complicate Russia's relations with its friends (for example, Vietnam). Moreover, “one day” China can include Russia itself in the list of military enemies. Finally, doing business with a partner like China, Russia will weaken its strategic position and spoil its image.

Peaceful Chinese dragon


Thus, we will add in conclusion that foreign experts believe that Russia and China cannot have a strategic partnership, and even a limited alliance with the “dragon” can damage Moscow in strategic terms.

In addition, experts believe that in the event of a conflict between the US and Russia, the Chinese “dragon” will simply watch the dispute, confining itself to the same rhetoric. In turn, the Russians will not go to war for the Chinese brothers.

Also, experts doubt that the PRC will take any part in the campaign in the Middle East, except for the "rhetorical". The PRC has no “personal” interest in this region, official representatives of the Middle Kingdom say.

Bottom line: alarmists, leading the talk about the coming "small" world war, which will begin with the actions of China in Syria, in vain shake the air.

            It's time to get used to the fact that everything that does not correspond to the stereotypes of American and Western politicians causes them to break patterns and panic. They simply cannot imagine that 20 years after their "victory" over the USSR, countries with their own interests in foreign and domestic policy may appear in the world, and that friendly relations are not an empty phrase for such countries.

          It’s hard to say about the military and political component, after all, the main interest is to curb US global dominance ... And in the economy, joint ventures, which were previously supposed with the Germans, are already underway quite rapidly ... A lot of cooperation is supposed from banking creating an analogue of SWIFT before international banking ... And in this area, anyway, we will be together to prevent the Western monopoly on international finance ...

        I also agree with the view that China is more interesting for Russia as an economic ally that will help bring down the dollar and convert trade exclusively to gold or rubles, selling them oil and gas than the military. Since, militarily, China, firstly, doesn’t buy military equipment for billions and millions, like India and other countries, but takes small batches and copies, and then even sells its version competing, and secondly, as the article described how to fight properly he will not be for Russia, and they have no experience, perhaps even the spirit, given how little Japan at 39m defeated all their rabble of rice peasants. So there is no military ally in the person of China, too cowardly.

        So it will be. I have commented on articles about the Russian-Chinese alliance more than once and spend one thought, you should not dwell on China! For the national interests of the Russian Federation, at the moment we need partnership with China in the political and economic spheres against the Anglo-Saxons. But we must not forget and about balances in the form of Vietnam and India. In short, the interests of the Russian nation and state for the head of the Russian Federation should be above all! As Stalin did.

        I believe that a war with China is impossible in principle, because no one will wage war with China with conventional weapons. And China does not have effective protection against the nuclear component, including cruise and ballistic missiles. And with their population density, getting a nuclear response means getting absolutely unacceptable damage. China can undoubtedly wage war of conquest, but not by military means, but simply by settling in territories intended for capture with a touch of pacified physiognomy, developing a business, taking root and, well, multiplying naturally)).

            Why, indeed, attack Russia, if our officials themselves can sell, partially or fully, some enterprises, lease vast lands for an indefinite period ... Finally, where will all these optimists be in friendship with China, if on lands populated by the Chinese , on the labor migrants settled in Russia from the Middle Kingdom, events similar to Kosovo will begin? What, will we use nuclear weapons? In addition, remembering Damansky, it is not a fact that any border conflict will lead to a nuclear war, which, by the way, China, unlike modern Russia, has long been preparing for, and has not considered it something beyond and impossible for a long time. Therefore, cooperation, of course, is necessary, but naivety is to hope for such an ally, and even more so, to consider him a close friend. The Chinese, as soon as they become stronger than Russia, will quickly stop smiling at us, and their requests will be replaced by demands, and demands may well become an ultimatum, it is enough to simply become economically or financially dependent on them.

      I would like to ask the minuses - do you really believe in the Russia-China strategic alliance? In this case, you are either naive or stupid. China, like any other country pursues only its own interests (Russia is an exception. In our history, we often, even to the detriment of ourselves, helped "friends", but gratitude from "friends", as a rule, did not take long). China can support Russia closer to neutral only on issues that do not contradict China's vital interests, and only so.
      Of course, it is necessary to "be friends" with China, but very carefully.

        You have a curious manner of discussion: whoever disagrees with you is either naive or stupid. You, by your logic, are wise by both worldly and geopolitical experience.
        Funny.

        The strategic alliance between Russia and China suggests itself. He, moreover, already had a place to be before certain historical events. And given these events, the whole context of relations between the USSR and China, we can only clearly understand the modern dynamics of the development of relations between Russia and China. Moreover, one can only be surprised at how fast the positive shifts in our relations turned out to be, even taking into account the logic of modern events in the world, which is simply pushing our two countries towards a strategic alliance.

        Be that as it may, the strategic partnership is already there. The legally formed alliance is now simply harmful for both parties in terms of the effectiveness of our countries' actions in international politics. Just because China and Russia at the moment are actively working on their global interests at different sites, which do not require an alliance in itself, which would trigger an automatically predicted hysterical reaction of the West, and not only it.
        Where our interests intersect, we work within the framework of such blocs and associations as the same SCO.
        Meanwhile, with the inevitable increase in antagonism between the West and Russia, as well as the West and China, a closer and more structured alliance is equally inevitable, which will designate the sphere of common protected interests that are already beginning to manifest themselves.
        And the scarecrows of the liberal-schizoid part of our 5 column on China’s expansionist secret plans are nothing more than a program coordinated with the curators to inject a destructive discourse into the public environment for relations with China.

        But those who support this discourse on any and all discussion and other platforms are obviously either conscious secondary sources of this discourse, or a truly naive tool for these sources.

          Perhaps you're right, funny. Unlike many, I write only based on previously studied, preferably from several sources. In the 2010s, given the prevailing political situation, he became interested in the history of Russian-Chinese relations and read several works (I recommend reading No. 1 and No. 2 for reading):
          1. Popov I.M. "Russia and China are 300 years on the brink of war)
          2. Lukin A.V. "CHINA. The bear is watching the dragon" (authoritative sinologist, former employee of the USSR Embassy in Beijing)
          3. Popov A.P. "Political systems and regimes in China of the twentieth century" (as far as I know, not a relative of the previously mentioned Popov I.M.)
          4. Akihiro Iwashita "4000 kilometers of problems. The Russian-Chinese border" is a very curious book, given the author's nationality, claims to be impartial in his assessments (it is written rather neutral in relation to both sides, but rather boring)

            I do not judge you at all, if you mean your position. You rely on some material that you consider exhaustive to draw your conclusions.
            Who is against it? I oppose you on the basis of my sources, and by the way, not only books, but also the opinions of people who have worked professionally and for many years in China, and it is with information and its analysis for government needs, let’s say.

            The books you propose already by their titles presuppose a certain imperative, although they are called by you as "different sources" - why be surprised that your conclusions are exactly the way you presented them?

            And then, I already had the opportunity to make sure that many illustrious and authoritative authors, veterans of diplomacy and foreign intelligence, are often influenced in their work by their own ideas about good and evil. =)
            So you, in this case, voluntarily or involuntarily suggest me familiarize myself with the sources, which, even when looking at the names, make it possible to immediately evaluate the general vector of these materials.

            As for the one who is right, time will tell. Maybe life will offer us a completely unexpected option.

              By the way, one of the 2 recommended books (A. Lukin) was written from the perspective of the possibility and desirability of the Moscow-Beijing strategic alliance, to the peak of I. Popov’s work, and therefore recommended these two works as diametrically opposed, for those wishing to compare and analyze.

            Unfortunately, I do not own such thorough information as you. But they consider me a clever person and a good analyst. I offer my vision of the issue.
            We remove the United States from the brackets (the dollar collapsed, Yellowstone pulled, the negroes staged a revolution), China is definitely taking the leading role in the world. A powerful economy, a lot of money, a huge army. And so the Chinese decided to "take" the "empty" Far East and Eastern Siberia. We are not considering the nuclear option for solving the problem, because if it is implemented, there will be neither V. Siberia, nor the Far East, nor China, and in a couple of days. At the same time, all of Russia west of the Urals will remain practically untouched.
            Well, the Chinese moved their troops north. They receive a "return", and disproportionate (compare the population density of DV and northern China). And Vladivostok, by the way, is better protected than Moscow.
            As a result of bloody battles, China captures the destroyed Transbaikalia, Amurskub region, Primorye, Sakhalin. Advancement to the north is impossible - only a few roads lead there, which are tightly blocked by small forces. You will also slightly accelerate to the West for the same reason - there is, in fact, only one road. And what does China have in the end, apart from tens of millions of deaths, a badly damaged economy (the "response" is inevitable) and trillions of losses without the slightest possible compensation for at least part of the losses? At the same time, 90% of the Russian economy is not affected, as well as 95% of human resources.
            Of course, I did not mention missiles with a non-nuclear warhead, the actions of fleets, missile defense, air defense, and much more. But the essence of the opinion, I hope, is clear hi

          You can make friends as much as you like, and rightly so, but you need to keep the gunpowder dry, your gunpowder, and not hope that someone will fit in for you. It’s time to really pull up the economy and to rattle the arms for a long time with a one-sided developed economy still does not work out. Today’s rearmament of the Russian army is mainly spent on oil money. Tomorrow what are we going to upgrade to? If a conflict occurs, they will immediately chop off the sale of oil and gas to us!
          PS. He wrote like a year and a half ago that it took us a very long time to create new weapons, while Russia, in my opinion, is on the verge of a big schucher, and many wrote here

        The strategic alliance is so characteristic that its members pursue exclusively their vital interests (both we and the Chinese). Another thing is that at this stage our interests coincide, which is what our alliance defines. When will you finally understand that political union and partnership is not friendship, nor fraternity, and not love for the grave. That is why our current alliance with China is reliable, because no one is building illusions in it, no water and lyrics, everything is pragmatic and adult.

All countries pursue only their interests, and Russia is no exception, and partners at different times are different, and can change to the opposite very quickly.

      There will never be an alliance between Russia and China; it is not beneficial to both sides.
      But good neighborly relations and common interests are quite possible!
      If you look at the geopolitical map of the development of China, we will see an island where almost all the population and industry are concentrated!
      Further, from the logic of the island's development, the first step of expansion is Taiwan, the second south.
      North is not even considered!
      The same can be said about the geopolitical map of Russia
      the natural boundaries of development are mountains, we can observe the same thing in the eastern part of Russia; the only restriction there is the desert / steppe and mountains that are clearly visible on the geopolitical map of China, into which Russia has already rested and will not be able to grow further east even if it wants to!

Yes, there are open areas, but they are blocked by a nuclear belt. And finally, 80% of the Chinese live in the channel of 2 rivers, and if at the source I have baboons? Do they need it?

      China’s intervention in the Syrian conflict could lead to a “small” world war.

      Mehmet Fatih Oztars tries to scare the public. There cannot be a "small" world war in nature. If a world war has begun, then it will be world war with all the ensuing consequences. Turkey, of course, really does not want and is afraid of a possible Chinese intervention in Syria.

      The author is right on many issues. The strategic partnership between Russia and China is temporary, China has its own road, we have our own. So far, we are united by the desire to rid the world of US influence, but what will happen then? China, sooner or later, will become the No. 1 power in all respects and its ambitions will only grow, the power spoils ... it has always been this way in the future, so you need to be friends but also plan for the future so that this "friendship" does not go into harm to Russia. Take, for example, our military-technical cooperation, we all know how new technology appears in China :) not only does he copy everything he can reach, he also drives us out of the market with his products, and the fact that our weapons are better than a special role for often does not play, here economic factors come into play: a lower price and a strong economy of the Celestial Empire ... the CIS space is also a separate topic, China invests very large sums in our partners and this poses a threat to the economy and political influence of Russia.

I give a grudge that at the same time in China, the local pro-Western liberalism is also trying to inspire everyone about the insidious northern country, which is just waiting for a reason to stab the celestial Empire in the back.
      As for friendship, the Great Powers do not know how to be friends, no matter how much they would like to. Brotherhood, friendship, love, this is all the lyrics characteristic of people, but not of states. States should build their relations on the basis of mutually beneficial partnership and taking into account each other's interests. Such pragmatic relationships are more reliable than those built on emotional attachment. In this regard, China is a reliable partner without tricks, and this is enough.

Drive a wedge between Russia and China is the main imperative of Japanese politics for the past hundred years.

Every Japanese researcher is always ready to prove Russian hostility to China, and Chinese hostility to Russia.
      As for the rest of the books, in the West there is also a whole layer of scientific literature and serious research written by the so-called. specialists in Russia, holders of various academic degrees, who thoroughly prove Russia's traditional hostility to Western civilization and the seriousness of the "Russian threat". Russia in the west, as well as China in Russia, is a traditional scarecrow for alarmists of all stripes.

        Give examples. I ask you not to bring old maps on which the border is indicated by the Nerchinsk Treaty. There the border passes along the Stanovoi Range. In 1858, the Aigun Treaty on the Amur was signed, and in 1860, according to the Beijing Treaty, a preliminary demarcation of the Russian-Chinese border was carried out. And all border conflicts and inconsistencies were resolved in 2006.

          "China spoke openly about the war with Russia. Date
          In China, the pro-government newspaper Wen Wei Po published material explaining that the pace of the country's economic and political development will lead to the need for war with China’s closest neighbors. Among the potential targets of attack is Russia.

          According to reporters, in the next 50 years, China expects 6 victorious wars. The first will be the "war for the unification of the nation" in 2020-25, that is, the war with Taiwan, the conquest of which is given a maximum of 6 months. Then comes the turn of Vietnam, which China will attack in 2028-30 to regain control of the former Chinese islands of Spartley.

          In 2035-40, China will start a war with India to conquer Southern Tibet. In this war, the Chinese are counting on the help of Pakistan, which will simultaneously have to invade South Kashmir.

          In 2040-45, a favorable moment will come for the war with Japan - the Chinese intend to return the originally Chinese islands of Diaoyu-Dao and Ryukyu occupied by Japan. Mongolia will be attacked almost immediately, unless, of course, it agrees to peacefully unite with China.

          And finally, a series of wars will end with a grand conflict with Russia, which is scheduled for 2055-2060. It was then that Russia’s turn came to answer for the fact that at one time it had seized more than 1,6 million square kilometers from the Chinese Empire. The Chinese intend by this time to become a leading world power, the first in the field of all possible types of troops, so they expect to easily overcome their northern neighbor. "

And it seems to you that the Chinese do not write about the future war with Russia - all God's dew.

      All the same, China will have to get involved in the war if the Taliban and the Islamic State pour in to Tajikistan. Too much business there in China, mining of gold including, etc. and the uneasiness of the Shinjiang of the Uyghur Autonomous Okrug will give its way if they just watch. The analyst is funny, we don’t have love for suction with China, but it is important for us to ensure the security of our borders. The Chinese are wise people they do not need problems at their borders. Then, yes, we have contradictions with our EurAsEC and how much we work together, the world is not as primitive as the analyst thinks all countries are neighbors and not only have many claims to each other, the eternal allies of the EU and the USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the USA, USA and Canada think they have no contradictions, it's silly to think so. Russia and the PRC have one strategic thing in common: the common security of our borders in Central Asia, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and we are not trying to teach others how to live and do not impose our worldview model on others; this fundamentally brings our positions closer together. The fact that there are a lot of Chinese in the Far East, oh lane year!, The Chinese now live in all cities of the world and nothing, In Australia they also leased land, the Australians then also yelled saying - annexation! Now they are silent and receive the benefits of cooperation. If you carefully prescribe that the Chinese can not do with our land and regulate this process, then there will be no problems. And then hysteria is something not the case. I like one example about our relationship with the Chinese - marriage is not by love but by calculation, and unlike love, which disappears very quickly, pragmatic mutually beneficial relationships can last much much longer.

      Here is an expert opinion.
      "Chinese expansion is inevitable
      People in China believe that nuclear war is better
      than collapse from the inside

      Alexander Khramchikhin,
      Deputy Director
      Institute of Political
      and military analysis
      The articles of the military-industrial complex weekly (Nos. 14, 17, 19, 22, 28 and 31) examined the current state of the PLA and the military-industrial complex (MIC) of the PRC. It has been shown that although China’s military capabilities have long been super redundant in terms of national defense, they continue to build up at an unprecedented pace.

      In the production of military equipment of all major classes, except nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, the Celestial Empire confidently occupies the first place in the world, although the capabilities of its military-industrial complex will be used by up to a third. At the same time, the Chinese practically eliminated the qualitative lag behind the armed forces of the countries of the West and Russia, which took place ten years ago. Even where a certain lag persists, it is not fundamental and is easily compensated by quantitative superiority.
      Capturing territories as problem solving
      Complete disregard for these facts in Russia is beginning to take on the character of some kind of collective insanity, which is sometimes exacerbated by outright lies about the production of weapons in China in small batches, as well as about our wonderful relationship. The pro-Chinese lobby in Russia, which is at least no weaker than the pro-American one, is very much involved in this madness. Moreover, he has resources in the Russian Federation that the Americans do not have - a huge Chinese diaspora, Chinese special services operating almost without hindrance on our territory, and a significant number of Russian citizens, moreover, very high-ranking ones, bought by Beijing long ago and ready to sell him absolutely everything.

        Yes, enjoy! Kitaezsky only learn. Or are you a chinaman?
        "On July 8, the pro-government Chinese newspaper Wenweipo published an article titled" 6 Wars China Should Fight In The Next 50 Years. "
        The planned 6 wars are all for their own purposes unifying (irredentist) - in their root, the development of those territories that imperial China lost as a result of the opium war with Britain in the 1840-42 years. Defeats, from the point of view of the Chinese nationalists, which led to the “centenary humiliation” of China.
        The English translation was taken from the Hong Kong blog Midnight Express 2046, the original article is ChinaNews.com. The Hong Kong resource calls the article an excellent example of modern Chinese imperialism.
        China is not a single great power. This is the humiliation of the Chinese people, the shame of the sons of the Yellow Emperor. For the sake of national unity and dignity, China must wage 6 wars in the next 50 years. Some regional, others, possibly total. No matter what, they are all inevitable for Chinese reunification.
        THE SIXTH WAR: THE RETURN OF THE EARTH FROM RUSSIA (YEARS 2055 - 2060)
        The current relations between China and Russia would seem to be good, but this is a result of the fact that the United States does not leave them any other choice.
        Both countries are closely monitored by each other. Russia fears that the rise of China threatens its power, but China has never forgotten the possessions lost in favor of Russia. When the case turns up, China will return all the lost territories.
        After five previous victories for 2050, China will make territorial claims based on the domain of ownership (domain) of the Qin Dynasty (as an association of Outer Mongolia based on the domain of the Republic of China) and will conduct propaganda campaigns in support of such claims. Efforts must be made to ensure that Russia disintegrates again.
        At the time of “Old China”, Russia occupied 1,6 million square kilometers of land, which is equal to one sixth of the territory of the current domain of China. Thus, Russia is China's worst enemy.
        After winning the previous five wars - it's time to get Russia to pay.
        This must lead to a war with Russia. Although by this time China was the foremost military power in the field of aviation, Navy, ground and space forces, this is the first war against a nuclear power. Therefore, China should be well prepared in the field of nuclear weapons, the possibility of a nuclear strike on Russia from the beginning to the end of the conflict.
        When China deprives Russia of the possibility of a retaliatory strike, Russia realizes that it cannot with China on the battlefield.
        They will only have to give up their occupied lands, paying a high price for their invasions. "

      Nihao! Although I am a Chinese laughing (no, well and what, that eyes are round, the last name is on "in"ends! wassat ), I will not put cons.

      A mortal enemy: you know, there would be more of such "deadly" ones and the population of Russia would have already approached half a billion, probably. For 360 (!) Years (since 1654) 7 (!) Conflicts have been registered on the Russian-Chinese border. For 238 years (from 1686 to 1924) there were no conflicts at all. The most famous is Damansky. The death toll from our side is 58 people. For an individual family, this is grief. I do not mock at this. But on a national scale (the length of the Russian-Chinese border is 4209,3 kilometers), this is a local conflict. According to your classification, there are probably "non-lethal" enemies? Remind me how many of our citizens died from "non-lethal" enemies? Who doesn't even have a border with us? How many tens of millions are there? And who, indirectly, with someone else's hands, fought with us, inciting other peoples against us? These "hidden" enemies have brought much more grief to the vast majority of families in our country. Count how many of our people have died at least since the collapse of the USSR in local conflicts: Karabakh, Chechnya, Transnistria, etc. - Damansky will seem like a joke. Who unleashed these conflicts? Who invested money there? Chinese? I don't seem to know much.
      The two superpowers have been rubbing their edges against each other for over 300 years and they have not had a single war! Naturally, to think that these are harmless peizans is arrogant and stupid. But calling them "mortal enemies" is overkill. For a true assessment of their capabilities and the threat posed by them, there are several serious state structures. And there are troops there too.

Another exercise near the Russian borders was organized and conducted in early October, one of the air defense regiments of the Shenyang Military District Army 16. Based on the location of the units, the area of ​​the exercises, and also taking into account the operational designation of the Shenyang Military District, it is easy to assume that the northern neighbor was a likely enemy for the Celestial Empire's army.

We had half of the Ukrainians in the garrison, and now I listen from morning till night that they are Bandera, nationalists and enemies of Russia. Only I wanted to put on such propaganda. Same thing with China. Read, think, maybe something will come ...
          "Russian journalists and analysts criticize Putin's policy of merging the country with China. The latest news is the abolition of the visa regime with China, which will result in uncontrolled migration of Chinese settlers to the Far East and Siberia, which will lead to the separation of these territories from Russia.
          Putin instructed Medvedev to cancel visas for Chinese citizens
          The permanent president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, instructed the government of Dmitry Medvedev to submit proposals by October 30 for visa-free entry into the Russian Federation of citizens of Brazil, China, India and South Africa - countries that are part of the BRICS together with Russia.
          The rapprochement between Putin’s Russian Federation and communist China began after the international community imposed economic sanctions on official Moscow, which was caused by the Russian armed invasion of the sovereign state of Ukraine. Such a sharp change in the Kremlin’s foreign policy vector has criticized even the most consistent supporters of the Putin regime.
          As a well-known Russian journalist and editor-in-chief of the Moscow speaking radio station Sergei Dorenko said in June 2015, the Russian Federation cannot have equal cooperation with China, since the entire Russian economy is equal to no more than two or three Chinese provinces.
          "And in 50 years we will be one Chinese province. Or maybe half a Chinese province. In terms of economy. They are developing, but we are not, this is the difference," the journalist stressed.
          He considers the decision to provide Chinese agricultural producers with 115 thousand hectares of Transbaikal lands on a lease for a period of 49 years "a crime", "outrageous trade in Russia."
          According to the journalist, Transbaikalia thus runs the risk of repeating the fate of the once Russian Alaska, the rights to which were assigned to another state with the wording "unable to defend and develop."
          The Russian-speaking population of those territories of the Far East of Russia that will move away to China - and Dorenko has no doubt about the inevitability of this process - will be forced to completely assimilate.
          According to the political analyst of the Institute for Euro-Atlantic Cooperation, Vladimir Gorbach, the Russian state is betting primarily on economic cooperation with China, in particular, on "the development by the Chinese of Russian natural resources in Siberia and the Far East."
          "This is the aim of the negotiations on the construction of new oil and gas pipelines and a certain migration of Chinese labor resources to the north," the expert added. As Gorbach predicts, this trend will continue, since "both sides are interested in this, Russia cannot develop its natural resources on its own."
          Gorbach also assessed the secession of Russian territories inhabited by Chinese settlers as a real threat. "The Russians themselves have been talking about this for years, there is such a threat. But this can happen only at the moment when the Russian statehood as such collapses," he stressed.

        China is now watching Russia throwing in Ukraine, in Syria, soon in Central Asia. He is clearly not going to, in the event of an aggravation of the situation in Russia, miss Siberia in favor of the States. In this situation, he plans to occupy these territories first, without waiting for anyone else to arrive there.

      The Chinese are cunning about the lack of interests in Syria; they understand perfectly well that if Syria and Iran fall, Central Asia flames up, and if you remove the Russian 201 military base from there, then the Islamic caliphate will flood into Chinese Xianjiang, where Muslim Uigurs live. The clashes there are ongoing. More than a thousand were killed. It is headed by the entire Islamic Party of East Turkestan, with the goal of establishing Islam in all of China.

      What to guess will help will not help, will be above the battle or will lend a helping hand, one must be self-sufficient, the fatherland has two allies army and navy. There will be a fight there and we'll see.

      It is foolish to hope for someone in this life, beside the Lord God, we Russians are strong with God. Do not forget this.

      China will enter the war))) For the last 25 years, I don’t remember this. China is now busy with its territorial claims, this is the second time. Secondly, China is waiting for how it will all end — it's two. China will act for sure, that is, when it brings it good luck

      Well, you may have served, but what's the point? Sometimes you need to turn on your brain. Don't listen to this zombie guy. Half of our garrison over there were Ukrainians, and now I listen from morning to evening that they are Banderaites, nationalists and enemies of Russia. Only I wanted to put money on such propaganda

      Oh, so this is all the zombie box and Putin’s propaganda?! Surkov and Kiselev. But in fact, there is no fascism in Ukraine))) There is no Russophobia in Ukraine. Their holiday of Defender of the Fatherland is no longer on the day of remembrance of the UPA. Russian people are not killed in Ukraine. Veterans are not insulted. You served with the Ukrainians and now you know for sure that they cannot be Russophobes and Nazis. Well, well))) Many of those who served in the SA had half of their company from the union republics of Central Asia, the Caucasus and Transcaucasia. We were friends. We corresponded later. But this does not negate what happened later, after the collapse of the Union. When yesterday's neighbors suddenly burst into tears with the bacillus of nationalism and began shouting: “suitcase, station, Russia, occupiers!” I don’t know what Putin’s propaganda is about, I don’t watch zombies at all, but I constantly communicate with ordinary Ukrainians and see that Ukrainian Nazism is not only Yarosh and Westerners, it is now also ordinary Ukrainians. Therefore, there is no need to tell me here that there is no fascism and Russophobia in Ukraine. You better continue to pour in fairy tales about the coming Chinese aggression. At least this is fun to read.

      As the famous Russian journalist, editor-in-chief of the Govorit Moskva radio station Sergei Dorenko said in June 2015

      Sergei Dorenko is known among journalists as that same, sorry, walking woman. Today he proves one thing, tomorrow it is completely opposite.

      according to a political analyst at the Institute for Euro-Atlantic Cooperation

      I didn't even read further. EURO-ATLANTIC cooperation, do you know what these words mean? These are pro-Western liberals, promoters of American interests. You should have dragged Baba Leroux here from Albats.

      As for the training of an entire regiment in the Shenyang Military Region, answer me, don’t the Chinese have the right to conduct training of their units on their territory? Or is this now evidence of their hostility? In my opinion, any army must strengthen its combat capability. For the last two years we have been having large-scale exercises in all military districts, are we also going to attack? to all neighbors at once))))

      So it will be. I have commented on articles about the Russian-Chinese alliance more than once and spend one thought, you should not dwell on China! For the national interests of the Russian Federation, at the moment we need partnership with China in the political and economic spheres against the Anglo-Saxons. But we must not forget and about balances in the form of Vietnam and India. In short, the interests of the Russian nation and state for the head of the Russian Federation should be above all! As Stalin did.
      This is in brief.

      Sometimes some commentators, after reading similar articles about the interaction of former Soviet countries with Western or Eastern “partners”, begin to attach labels allegedly about “betrayal of friendship”, “you can’t sit on two chairs, you’ll tear your ass” and even much ruder. And these commentators “forget” that we are now not one country, everything, it has been gone for more than 20 years, “wasted the country” both with the help of Western “partners” and with our own (people’s) connivance. And since we are now different countries, that is, different “families,” then each “family” must earn its own “daily bread,” live in its own home, with its own destiny. As the proverb and your president say: “friendship is friendship, but tobacco is apart.” And even though you’re bursting with nostalgia, this is a fact, and every year this fact gets stronger. And if our and your government ignored the strategy of protecting, first of all, its own national interests, and only then the interests of our “comrades,” then it would be worse. But sometimes you have to react unambiguously, either “yes, you’re right, I’m with you” or “no, you’re wrong, figure it out yourself.”
      However, what is happening with Ukraine is not suitable in this case, since on this “wave” the active part of the people was really simply brainwashed, replacing basic (native) concepts with dreams of the West, the other part is simply passive. And of course, washing is not the main condition that will lead the country to the current not so happy result.
      Please take into account that countries will interact based on their own national interests, unless of course it is a satellite of the United States, when discussing the following topics: our friend (choose a country) will not betray us, he will cover us if we (choose a country) give us an eye or do something even worse and so on. This is not a summary. Sincerely.
