China and Russia have had more than one border spat over the years.
From the Chinese perspective...
Anything on their common border worth taking?
Personally I think China would very much like most of the Russian far east. A resource rich target on which Beijing already holds the mortgage.
In the Tom Clancy book The Bear and the Dragon they referred to it as “the Northern Resource Zone”.
If a Chinese dragon suddenly developed the nibbles, what would Putin do?
His conventional combat power is mostly tied up elsewhere...That is, what he has left.
He would issue empty threats on Moscow prime time TV followed by a Soviet era movie on the 1939 Battle of Khalkin Gol against the Imperial Japanese Army.
