Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has stated that if China’s claims to Taiwan are based on territorial integrity, the People’s Republic of China should also take back regions given to Russia in the nineteenth century.
I imagine that is probably somewhere in the cards.
One thing about Xi though, is he seems like a very patient man. I wonder if he isn’t just waiting for some sort of convenient Russian political collapse and fracturing of their state.
Fully disagree. Xi is sacrificing the (economic ) wellbeing of his citizens at the altar of stricter repressive policies on its own population, and international power games. Corruption is running rampant there’s a massive real estate bubble, the population is aging quicker than in the west and I don’t think he has the ability to fix these issues, because he takes growth for granted.
