This is a sign that Russia has signed onto a modern-day equivalent of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, with the CCP replacing Nazi Germany and Northeastern Asia replacing Eastern Europe. But much like the original Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, I wouldn't expect this one to last long.After victory, China will break up Japan's four main islands into independent countries under the "supervision" of China and Russia, which will both establish military garrisons there. Okinawa will be broken off from Japan and either be managed by China or made into an independent country.
China wishes to expand its sphere of influence to include:
-Itself
-A few islands in the southwestern Philippines
-A few islands off the coast of northern Sumatra
-Afghanistan
-All of "continental" Southeast Asia (the former French Indochina, Myanmar, Thailand, and the western part of Malaysia)
-The Andaman Sea
-The eastern half of Central Asia
-The Himalayas
-Kashmir
-Both Koreas
-Mongolia
-The northern half of Borneo
-Okinawa
-Sakhalin
-The Senkaku Islands
-Singapore
-The South China Sea
-Southeastern Siberia
-Taiwan
Russia wishes to expand its sphere of influence to include:
-Itself (possibly minus Kaliningrad, as some Russian nationalists want to give it back to Germany for pragmatic reasons)
-Abkhazia
-All of Central Asia
-All of its former European territory minus Estonia and Western Ukraine
-Armenia
-The former Republika Srpska
-Greater Mongolia
-Both Koreas
-India
-Nagorno-Karabakh
-The predominantly Orthodox Balkan countries
-Tibet
-Turkish Kurdistan
-Vietnam
-Xinjiang
Based on these desires, we will soon be seeing Sino-Russian clashes over:
-The Andaman Islands
-Both Koreas
-The eastern half of Central Asia
-Greater Mongolia
-Himalayan India
-Kashmir
-Manchuria
-Sakhalin
-The South China Sea
-Southeastern Siberia
-Tibet
-Vietnam
-Xinjiang
Wheee!
