🚨 CHINA’S QUIET MAP-REDRAWING MOMENT: MEDIA OPENLY DISCUSS RUSSIA’S FAR EAST 🚨
While Moscow promotes a narrative of “ironclad friendship,” Chinese state-adjacent media are speaking with startling clarity.
Yesterday, NetEase — one of China’s largest media platforms — published an article titled:
“If Russia Collapses, 7 Million Square Kilometers Must Not Be Lost.”
This isn’t casual commentary. It reads like a playbook.
🔍 What the article lays out:
Russia’s Far East is described as a “chicken rib” — costly to hold, hard to use.
For China, the same territory is framed as a strategic treasure.
Fewer than 50,000 Russian troops reportedly remain in the region — an empty shell.
Russia’s economy is portrayed as smaller than a single Chinese province.
Military seizure is dismissed as risky — “another Crimea.”
The preferred method: support pro-China local forces, lock them in with loans and dependence.
Endgame: a “formally independent” state that is functionally controlled by Beijing.
📌 A chilling line from the piece:
“Whose land is this? It’s just a name — the vital arteries are in our hands.”
As Russian media amplify slogans of eternal partnership, Chinese outlets are calmly discussing how one-third of Russia’s territory could change hands when the political landscape shifts.
Friendship is diplomacy.
Seven million square kilometers is strategy.
