"Chinese media outlets this week shared a new geographic map from China's state-owned standard map service that shows Russian territory as part of China.

"The map, which is said to have been approved by Beijing and was released by China's Ministry of Natural Resources, comes as Western observers have speculated that the relationship between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping has become strained.

"Shortly before Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, he and Xi signed a "no limits" partnership agreement, but Chinese officials have since publicly called for a peaceful resolution to the war.

China probably expected Russia to win quickly so it could take taiwan with Russia’s support.

Which actually could have been part of Biden’s way of paying the Chinese back for business deals.

Weakening Russia so China and Ukraine could grow. Is it just coincidence the 2 countries who could benefit the most were the ones he was involved with for profit?

Maybe Putin traded it for military equipment.

China wants to hold off on taking Taiwan for a while so they have a perpetual bargaining trip. “Hey U.S., give us some ‘aid’ or we’ll take Taiwan.”

I always believe Newsweak. An outstanding propaganda publication. I remember when they hated Reagan.

Lots of ethnic Chinese in Eastern Russia...using Putin’s own logic, China can just walk in and take much of it.

China definitely could use more land. They have one and half billion people there now. Siberia used to be Chinese territory.

This is about one half of an island in the Amur River. The whole other bank of the River and a chunk of Russia's Far East used to belong to China.

Thanks. Russia has a different mindset. I was listening to some RT media the other day and one of them said:

“the whole world should be russia”

During the Soviet era, Moscow had only one Chinese restaurant, the Pekin (Peking or Beijing), and it apparently didn't serve very good food. Now there are dozens of Chinese restaurants in Moscow.

Should we encourage the tension? Helps Taiwan/India/Viet Nam. I was in favor of an independent Kurdistan-more fighting amongst our enemies.

We should encourage such tension just as Richard Nixon exacerbated Sino-Soviet tensions during the Cold War.
