    It’d probably be bad in terms of global stability and whatnot, but it’d still get a chuckle out of me if China just went “Well, It’s free real estate” and invaded russia.

      China wants Taiwan. While some land in Russia might be nice it isn’t a big deal. They like Russia getting away with attacking Ukraine because it sets a global precedent that large powers can take over weaker powers.

        That’s not entirely true. China also likes a weak Russia that’s selling them raw materials underpriced. They like this destabilisation, as long as it doesn’t get out of hand.
