China for sure has their eye on Taiwan. But after watching how poor Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been going, they got a better idea.
They are going to take the Far East from Russia. You heard it here first.

:lol:

Just because the OP is a pro-Republican piece of shit doesn't mean every idea of his is laughable.

Actually his point is frequently used by us to attack "Little Pinks" for their hypocrisy, i.e. being hostile to fellow Chinese in Taiwan while speaking for their biggest enemies in terms of territory robbed.

Today's headline in the Financial Times of London...

US tells allies China signalled openness to providing Russia with military support.

Why would China have an interest in doing so?

[Beren]

Why would China have an interest in doing so?

They have an interest in Putin crippling and isolating Russia with this war, so thus making it dependent on and vulnerable to them.

Probable. But no need to intervene in someones mistake. Not sure has any direct interest for annexation but only a need for soft power.

China has soft power?

China has soft power?

Yes, economic power.
My country, Australia, being a prime example, of such Chinese economic influence.

The fundamental misunderstanding of China pervasive on this forum is hilarious.

Oil and Gas.

CCP's brutality and the obnoxiousness of the likes of Igor or you are to blame here.

To me it seems Russia will be to China what the EU and the UK are to the US, i.e. the junior partner.

China claimed Russia's Vladivostok as part of its territory after it celebrated the 160th anniversary on July 2 [2020]. Journalists stated it belonged to Qing dynasty.

They we be lower than a junior partner. They will be subservient.

It is a mutual benefit for both countries to not have a threatening neighbor along a large border, which allows both to direct their attention and resources to other fronts/areas.

Also, there is the appearance that Xi Jingping's public comments on Putin and Russia may be outside the mainstream of the politburo. The speculated implication of this is that Xi Jingping might not have as strong a mandate when it comes to the Party Congress in November, that it is still likely he will remain in power but that there will be some pushback on his bolder moves.
