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.
Putin has driven Russia in a really bad situation. His army is currently unable to conquer Ukraine. He lost most of the old soviet stockpile of tanks, airplanes and equipment. It looks like his air defense is broken and Ukraine is bombarding his refineries on a weekly basis. And he has lost so many people. We can also guess that the majority of his army and his air defenses are currently in Ukraine.
If China really wants to take russian land there is not much that Putin can do against it except to use his nuclear weapons.
except to use his nuclear weapons.
Which might not be properly maintained. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Might‽‽‽ I can almost guarantee those were the first casualties of the corruption that is endemic in the Russian government and military.
i rember this scene of the Chernobyl mini series:
"Ah its only 3.5(unit of radiation) we don’t need to worry!
But the testing device they had could only go as far as 3.5… The actual level was around a factor of 100 or so…
3.6 roentgen. Not great, not terrible.
Those soviet era devices still work I bet. I wonder if any fascists are using them…
let’s hope
And that’s just the military perspective. Economically, things are unlikely to look much better.
I think it was another clever move by the Chinese: Russia’s abandonment of trade with Europe has made it very dependent on China. Sooner or later, they will be able to pick up the pieces - bankrupt assets at bargain prices, so to speak.
Winnie doesn’t need force. He simply can use his economic power.
If he simply puts a full embargo on Russia Putler would be done within a year.
nobody linked the original as far as i can see so:

“Chinese media” is apparently a basketball fan with 48 followers posting speculative blog posts on the gamer equivalent of substance. Fuck this Ukrainian “journalist”.
I know you’re all pigs feeding at the trough, but please have some self respect.
NetEase is a video game platform.
The author of this article never links to the article and I can’t find it anywhere. (Edit: someone here found it for me and it’s exactly as I thought. It’s a Chinese gamer substance, the author has 48 followers, and his handle is just totally anonymous and shows he’s a fan of a famous Chinese basketball player. “Chinese media” my ass.)
The author of this article never names the author of the article he’s supposedly writing about. He just keeps saying “the author”.
He’s writing about something that is negative for Russia, as a Ukrainian “journalist”, reporting on what is likely a random gamer doing the same bullshit armchair strategizing that you goons do on a regular basis, without citing a single thing and without backing up any of his claims.
“Chinese media” isn’t discussing anything. This is not journalism. This is pure slop.

You’re joking about WW3.
WW3 is USA against China. This post is about the contingency plan to prevent the US from controlling China’s northern border.
I also make jokes about climate change. Not because I don’t think it’s real, but because I am powerless to do anything about it and humor is my sole way of coping with anything.
I oppose Chinese imperialism.
BUT, anything that gives Poots a sad is OK with me.
I’m not sure that’s really what’s happening. The plan is specifically for when Russia collapses. I fear that this might make the job of any more democratic successor to Putin much harder, because the worst way to start a new government is by having a large part of your country taken away.
I can’t wait for the tankie support of imperialist china. I’m not gay but I kinda enjoy watching someone suck their own dick.
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?
This is a contingency plan
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.
