“#Siberia, a region bigger and richer than any place on Earth, with resources that underpin Putin’s economy. It is Asian, not European, and one day will mostly fall into China’s hands. Xi knows this and needn’t lift a finger to speed along this outcome.”

thehill.com/opinion/intern…
“… Today, about 34 million out of 144 million Russians live in #Siberia, but Russia’s economy is disproportionately dependent on Siberian resources. About 80 percent of its oil resources, 85 percent of its natural gas, 80 percent of its coal and…”

“… coal and similar amounts of precious metals and diamonds, and about 40 percent of the nation’s timber resources are scattered across this vast territory.”

“Chinese sovereignty over this area was formally recognized by the Russian-Chinese 1689 Treaty of Nerchinsk. However, by the 1850s, China became too weak to defend these territories and Russia conquered them … recognized by treaties in 1858 and 1860.…”

“… The war in Ukraine is weakening Russia, and there is probably no way in which Russia could stop a Chinese occupation of Eastern #Siberia and the Far East.

For political and personal reasons, the Russian leadership would need the Chinese …”

“… For political and personal reasons, the Russian leadership would need the Chinese to make reasonable, face-saving concessions in exchange for a slow-motion occupation – which could be done.”

Putin “has called for shifting Russia’s exports from Europe to Asia. A week before a summit on Sept. 15, Mr. Putin said details had been agreed for a new pipeline that would take Russian natural gas across western #Siberia and Mongolia to China.”

‘Why China Will Reclaim Siberia’

“#Siberia – the Asian part of Russia, east of the Ural Mountains – is immense. It takes up three-quarters of Russia's land mass, the equivalent of the entire U.S. and India put together.

#ChinaSiberia
nytimes.com/roomfordebate/…
“… The border, all 2,738 miles of it, is the legacy of the Convention of Peking of 1860 and other unequal pacts between a strong, expanding Russia and a weakened China after the Second Opium War.”

nytimes.com/roomfordebate/…
“… The 1.35 billion Chinese people south of the border outnumber Russia's 144 million almost 10 to 1. The discrepancy is even starker for #Siberia on its own, home to barely 38 million people, and especially the border area …”

#ChinaSiberia
nytimes.com/roomfordebate/…
“… where only 6 million Russians face over 90 million Chinese. With intermarriage, trade and investment across that border, Siberians have realized that, for better or for worse, Beijing is a lot closer than Moscow.”
