~IMHO Siberia will become a resource for China - they have the people, and Russia doesn’t. Eventually, China will grab Siberia. China and Russia are natural enemies - Nixon was a foreign policy marvel, to have played them off of each other, as he did, in the 70’s. Maybe in our lifetimes, we will have a leader who figures this out, and turns them back against each other, while we watch, on the sidelines. Thank you.~
Nobody likes to live in Siberia, let alone Chinese who prefer mild climate.
An interstate commute is a death match in Siberia, truckers are paid up to $10,000 a week and still there are few people willing to take a job.
Browse youtube for some videos of efforts in takes to bring oil and gas from these places.
I see your point, but I think China really needs the natural resources there, and may not consider the reality that you describe. Thank you.
Yo, Phoenix, this part of the discussion came as a result of my remark to the effect that “If global warming was real, Siberia would become much more productive and a great resource”. We’re just kicking around how that better climate would attract everybody to Siberia, not just Russians.
