It’s the elephant in the room when you look at a map of Eurasia.
Russia has 11% of the world’s land that is suitable for agriculture. China, with a vastly larger population, has only 7%. There are already numerous Chinese farmers in Russia. And then there is the matter of all those natural resources, in particular, timber, for those seemingly limitless forests. The documentary shows the modern machinery that Chinese firms are using to harvest all that timber.

The demographics of both countries are collapsing. China will not take Siberia and may well become several countries within the lifetime of many of us on this forum.
Thanks for posting this. I’ll watch it when the snow hits tonight.
Dr. Jack Wheeler told me this months ago and despite the source, I found it hard to believe; that Russia would soon collapse and China would take Siberia and not Taiwan.
“I’d take bets on when we see 1969(Amur river) repeat.”
NO; that was a relatively localized schoolyard spat compared to what we can expect if such a squabble over land between the two erupts in the future.
And if you look closely at the region (Amur River) of the border you will see Chinese farms right up to the border, but on the other side the farmland continues without any Moscovia farms.
Falun Gong.
To do it military the losses would be horrendous like invading Taiwan, not acceptable. The Chinese military is all show, like their ghost cities and of the same construction quality.
In one of the Tom Clancy novels, Siberia was referred to by China as the northern resource area.
I don’t take orders from broads.
Shouldn’t you be on a Russian egg thread?
“Shouldn’t you be on a Russian egg thread?”
Shouldn’t you be in Russia?
Russian population is declining (so is Chinese but that’s a separate issue) and Siberia is already very sparsely populated and is rich in natural resources. What do you think is going to happen?!
Of the two of us, I am the US Veteran.
Of the two of us, you’re the only one who advocated genocide.
You called for every person in Russia to be wiped off the Earth forever.
Of the two of us, you’re the only “Report Abuse” coward.
Isn’t it odd that you advocate war, but get butthurt over words on FR?
You advocate war, but zero of your children serve.
Typical woman…loud, opinionated, and zero accountability.
Andrei Amalrik predicted that 50 years ago. So did others. It hasn’t happened yet.
How much of the land in Siberia and Russia’s Far East is really suited for farming?
And isn’t China’s population now going down — or at least rising only slowly?
The Chinese can get what they want through trade, rather than through arms (if they want to)?
Since there are no people to amount to anything in Siberia, the question doesn’t matter.
China is in terminal turmoil and Siberia is not really at risk
In their death throes, dying nations turn predatory.
you do realize that there is a significant Asian/Russian population already in Russia?....ever hear of Kalmykia?....
well killing off girl babies is one way of decreasing the population...you know that war on boys thing and all..
Traveling acoss Russia and into China showed a difference in the people. In Russia -— all were dressed in drab colored clothing - even in the cities it seemed. In China -— even the farmers in the fields were brightly dressed. Saw that when I went from London to Hong Kong by train in the 80s. Stopped at cities along the way. Fascinating trip.
So is Russia's.
But Russia will run out of people long before China will.
