In recent years, a movement among sections of Chinese nationalists has emerged, asking that Russia return Vladivostok to China. These claims have been intensified by Putin's interview, in which he contrasted the alleged historical foundation of the Russian state, which he said dated back to the 9th century, with the "invention" of Ukraine in the 20th century.

"According to history, Russia should return us Vladivostok and vast territory stolen 100-something years ago," Robert Wu, a social media user from China, said on X, formerly Twitter...

Another Chinese nationalist on Weibo pointed out that Russia has territories that imperial Chinese dynasties had previously controlled.

"Going further afield, today's Mongolia and Russian Siberia were both territories of China in the Tang Dynasty with its capital in Xi'an," wrote a Weibo user. The Tang Dynasty dates back to the 7th century...

Chinese state media has largely kept silent on the issue of Vladivostok as Beijing considers the Kremlin's support a bulwark against U.S. influence in international affairs...

The Russians are spread pretty thin on the ground compared to the Chinese so the Chinese better be willing to lose 500 million to maybe 40 million Russians.

"May China get all of their ancient lands back from Russia.
May it be so!"

You do know you come across like a retarded street preacher, right?

Eastern Russia is not populated simply because no one can make a living there. The coastal areas are all that is worth a damn.

As China transitions back to by the book Maoist socialism, the actual outcome becomes less and less certain

China that was, isn’t

whenever I hear historical claims rather than consent of those governed, I know that the world leader is full of bullshit.

Sounds like the American Southwest. I’m pretty sure one day parts of Siberia will be full up.

Using your logic, there will be nothing left of Ukraine once Russia, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania get finished. Of course, we’ll have to return California, Nevada, N. Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Texas, and Colorado to the Mexicans.

But look a them in ww1 also, Afghanistan. Usually, they are the gang that can’t shoot straight. Russian have often rebelled when they pay to much of a heavy price in blood. And that is happening now.

*Russians have a “cursed capacity for suffering”.*

20 million in WW2 when Stalin’s in charge. No revolution like in WW1.

Yet Putin trusts the Chicoms.

Perhaps he’s more afraid of the European Union. This has really got to drain them. Attrition.

The Krivosheev study:

5,226,800 Russian soldiers killed in action
1,102,800 died of wounds in hospitals
4,559,000 POW deaths and missing

Just say 10 million. US total killed was about 450,000.
