While Kremlin propaganda feeds Russians fairy tales about “great friendship” and “strategic partnership without limits,” Chinese media calmly discusses exactly how those limits will be redrawn. Not someday in the distant future — but when Russia collapses. And according to Chinese authors, preparations should begin now.
This is a contingency plan. China must be interested in maintaining Russia as a buffer at its northern border.
Doesn’t the author know that the West is doing the same in Ukraine?
A buffer at its northern border? A buffer from what? Polar bears?
A systemic rival who could use it as a staging ground like they used Iraq’s neighbors. Using Korea alone would be too defendable.
How can you even say that? There’s no link to the article in question, if you search for it online the only things you get trace back to this author and this article, and there’s no attribution .
Which part of my comment?
It’s not a contingency plan at all! It’s likely a try-hard post on a gamer forum.
I mean it in the sense that China is not actively planning to carve up Russia.
