A video has gone viral on Chinese social media calling for China to take advantage of Russia's weakened state and seized large pieces of its territory.
I honestly thought about this scenario couple of years back when reading about Russia and Canada possibly benefiting from climate change as their northern areas thaw and become forests and farmlands.
China can fight every other country in the pacific over an insignificant speck of island, or, they could actually grow their boundaries in a way that offers northwest passage access.
