Seriously, most Chinese greatly underestimates Russian nationalists’ fear of losing Siberia to China.
Within the framework of reasonable estimate of what “stronger” can mean for Russia and for China respectively, Russia has far greater fear of what a stronger China can mean for Russia, than China has for what a stronger Russia can mean for China. A persistently stronger China can plausibly be unencumbered by great competition with the US. That would be a nightmare for Russia. A persistently stronger Russia can’t plausibly be unencumbered by great power competition on its western flank. Even if it is it isn’t near as strong relative to China as the reverse.
No, not serious at all.
In fact, you've gotta be joking!
What make you think we Chinese are not aware of that?
And what's the
motive of your statement? That we Chinese shouldn't be optimistic about a friendly Russia? That they are no such friendly Russia? That Russians are racist towards Chinese people? That we don't have friends?
What make you think we are so desperately in need of a friend? Like how Ukraine is literally
begging for "friends"? You think we need Russia more than Russia need friends? If you do, you're damn delusional.
First of all, we don't NEED friends. We also don't dislike having friends. 来者不拒,去者不追。We only provide an opportunity for mutual benefit/profit. If Ruskies are man enough to be confident and open to Chinese people, they will profit and have co-prosperity. If the don't, do you think it will be us Chinese who is getting starved in poverty?
What the heck is wrong with you delusional people?! You think Ruskies can even afford to be in a position of power and superiority to dislike and be suspicious of Chinese people? Damn self-abased losers! Quit superposing your own lack of confidence onto another nation of people.
