You Can't See It In Moscow: China Takes Russian Territories

The expert revealed the grand scale of the expansion.

The Russian governor of the Amur recorded a greeting on the Chinese New Year and did it in Chinese. It is interesting that after the interview of Vladimir Putin and his "historical insights", they also started talking about the fact that China can claim Russian lands.

Quite a lot of people speak Chinese in the Amur region. Russian opposition journalist Sergei Aslanyan told the 24 Channel about this, noting that it is so beneficial for the local population given the future.

Russians want to survive thanks to China

The Chinese are quite tough people. They have a sense of belonging to a particular community. Sergey Aslanyan remembered how, while in China, he noticed that the locals saw in him only a foreigner.

“You can't see in Moscow. For example, it is not visible how China's creeping expansion is slowly alienating Russian territories," the Russian opposition journalist stressed.

Many years ago, a large number of Russian lands were closed to Russians themselves. Enclaves for timber processing, smuggling poaching – all this was guarded by the Chinese. Even now, some local border regions say that they are afraid to go deep into the territories, because there are Chinese guards around the perimeter. They're armed.

"If you read the Chinese media outlets, they say that you should not invest in the economy of neighboring territories, but you should allow your locals to assimilate these territories in order to enter them and then begin to develop," said Sergey Aslanyan.

For example, the Chinese have a party media that tells what people need to do and this happens at the level of orders. That is, they can conditionally say that Chinese women moved to the territory of Russia, married local men and so gradually raised a new generation of Chinese.

“When the Amur governor speaks Chinese, it is already a belated reaction, because its population is fleeing to China to live. Before the war, many Russians even rented their apartments, and with this money they were looking for housing in China. People understand that in such remote regions the Russian authorities will not improve the economy, the standard of living, so everyone just wants to survive, and this can be done thanks to the Celestial Empire.

The Amur governor realized that very soon he could serve another owner with a Chinese Communist Party card. If you look from the Urals to the Far East, China is slowly taking it away," Aslanyan said.
