“Seven Million Square Kilometers Must Not Be Lost”: Chinese Media Openly Discusses Carving Up Russia
An interesting article. It sounds a lot like China is expanding the strategy of their "belts and roads initiative" for taking over small countries into other areas of operations. The worst part of it is that Russia appears to be actually asking for a Chinese takeover, just like lots of smaller nations have done under the guise of Chinese offers of "help" for improvements that suddenly turn sour and end in Chinese takeover of parts or most of their territory, ceded as "collateral for the loans".
They tried that in the US as well - Smithfield pork products, for example, is now owned by the Chinese. Then they artarted guying agricultural farmland and just land in general, especially near military bases. Hell, they even bought, in it's entirety, one of the college campuses where I used to go to school, not far from here - Virginia Intermont was it's name. Now things are going sour. Virginia, among others, has banned China from buying any further properties in Virginia. In the matter of Virginia Intermont, they own the county near half a million dollars in back taxes, with no signs they ever intend to pay. Not long ago, the entire campus burned to the ground. How fortuitous.
Nations, the US included, need to wise the hell up and outright ban Chinese purchases or "financial help" in their countries...
... if they don't, China WILL eventually own the entire world,default by default, by hook r by crook.
If they themselves don't collapse first.

Predictions:
1) The world will keep spinning.
2) Bad things will happen.
3) Life will go on.
4) People will continue bitching, without doing anything to improve whatever it is they're bitching about.
