I wonder when China is going to want Vladivostok back?

@bradenslen Can we just get that started now so as to keep the two preoccupied and leave the rest of us alone?
@pratik I'm stirring the Russian pot.
Actually, China is laughing right now. All of Russia's wealth in resources is in Asia yet Russia has squandered this and reinvested nothing there. Nothing shiney for the Far Eastern provinces or for the protectorate *stans. Whereas, China has been investing, schmoozing. So all China has to do is wait for 1. the *stans to switch allegience because Russia is too weak, (coming soon), 2. the internal breakup of the Russian empire (we're heading there) and just step in to restore order and essential services. It all could drop into China's lap.
@bradenslen Pride and Prejudice is ruining the Russian Dream, I’m sad to say. I was hoping for Russia to become a democratic republic, with interest in trade and bilateral agreements.
@bradenslen What the West can learn from China though, is 100 year plans. Alterations will always be a part of it, but we need to look at the furthest mountaintop.
