there's considerable tension

I think that Russia won't appreciate the bossy line from Beijing at all, no

hmmmmmm
mabe so. but, it would basically be somewhat of a racial imperium empire, the chinese over asia, the saudis, syria, iran etc over the middle east, yada yada

also most of the Far-East resents China, hardcore

Vietnam, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, etc.

I don't see this coming to pass

yeah, dunno what japan would do.
thats why trump is tryna align many countries with us as possible

China and Russia are only "allies" due to circumstance, were it not for the United States, they'd probably be on their own or perhaps even have their own rivalry for diplomatic dominance in Asia @Bee

they are actually on very bad terms in some areas

mhm

like Russia legit views China as a military threat and a competitor in military industry

Its fairly obvious that they're competing for dominance in Asia

Though I can't tell who

Who's winning right now*

yeah, it's mostly speculation, for the further future, but in the current circumstances things will come to fruition which will end the petro dollar, and american imperialism etc

Since Mongolia has be re-absorbed into the Russian sphere

I think that Russia has the greater expansion potential, and China is kind of hitting a plateau right now with economic growth

If Russia were to pursue stronger ties with India then China would be pretty fucked in Asia

oh yes

India is btw itself a major factor

yeah i think so too, but they are tryna take over africa rn

which is projected to overtake China not far from now in terms of economic powerhouse-ness

India is pretty much the only major power that Russia can consider a true "ally"

yes

and historic ties exist between them from USSR era

mhm

India is a mess currently though

it has great potential though

Yes it does

Much more potential than China ever had

That's a meme

i know lol

India also I think has better relations with the indosphere - Burma, Thailand, Bangladesh, etc. than China has with "sinosphere"

But I wouldn't be surprised if India were to surpass China economically in the next decade

i think so too

India is going to have to take a side eventually though, right now they're trying to keep good relations with the US and Russia

Taiwan fucking hates China, as does Hong Kong, and Singapore tacitly sides with Taiwan in defense matters - the Chinese control over "sinosphere" isn't really there

china is weird, but have an interesting system of governance
they aren't thinking in terms of 5 year plans, but for decades, centuries

Chinese system should go to proper economic planning once more

mhm
