In the Amur region, quite a lot of people speak Chinese. Russian opposition journalist Serhiy Aslanyan told Channel 24 about this, noting that it is beneficial for the local population in terms of the future.
Russians want to survive thanks to China
The Chinese are quite tough people. They have a sense of belonging to a certain community. Serhiy Aslanyan recalled how, when he was in China, he noticed that the locals only saw him as a foreigner.
This is not visible from Moscow. For example, it is not visible how the creeping expansion of China is slowly taking away Russian territories,
emphasized the Russian opposition journalist.
Many years ago, a large number of Russian lands were closed to Russians themselves. Enclaves for wood processing, contraband poaching – all this was guarded by the Chinese. Even now, some locals from the border regions say that they are afraid to go deep into the territories because there are Chinese guards on the perimeter. They are armed.
If you read the Chinese press, it is written there that it is not necessary to invest in the economy of neighbouring territories, but to allow the local population to assimilate these territories in order to enter them and then start developing them, Serhii Aslanyan noted.
For example, the Chinese have a party press that tells people what to do and it happens at the level of orders. So, they can conditionally say that Chinese women moved to the territory of Russia, married local men and thus gradually raised a new generation of Chinese.
When the Amur governor speaks Chinese, it is already a late reaction, because his population is fleeing to live in China. Before the war, many Russians even rented out their apartments and used this money to look for housing in China. People understand that in such remote regions, the Russian government will not improve the economy, or 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 master with a Chinese Communist Party ticket. If you look from the Urals to the Far East, this is the territory that China is slowly taking away,
– emphasized Aslanyan.
What did Putin say in the interview and what does China have to do with it?
- The Russian dictator gave an interview to an American journalist and once again decided to demonstrate his incompetence in historical matters. To give his words at least some persuasiveness, Putin even brought “letters”, and then he enthusiastically explained for half an hour how Stalin allegedly created Ukraine. This is how he tried to justify the invasion of an independent state.
- Later, Putin asked to hand over the same “letters” to Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, but throughout the conversation, he never opened the file with them. According to the head of the Kremlin, these records allegedly contain a request from the Ukrainian Hetman to join Ukraine to Russia. Carlson constantly nodded and confirmed Putin’s words, which are extremely reminiscent of Alexander Lukashenko’s map, on which he once showed “from where an attack on Belarus was being prepared.”
- The reaction to such false stories did not take long. At first, a Chinese analyst wrote on social networks that Putin is obsessed with the history of Russia and it is impossible to control it. He also wondered why we should go back to events that happened centuries earlier if we live in modern times. American-Chinese actor Robert Wu reacted to this post, noting that according to this logic, China can claim Vladivostok and other huge territory that Russia once stole.
