「Xi Jinping’s plan to annex Russian territory is there for all to see」:  やはり、英語の報道はいいですね。こういう内容は、日本の大手新聞でも報道しないんですよね～。

Ahead of Xi Jinping’s recent visit to Russia, Putin boldly announced that the pipeline deal was ready to be signed off, prematurely labelling it “the deal of the century”. But Xi, unmoved by such excessive zeal, declined to sign anything.

No mention whatsoever of POS2 appears in the official statements Xi made during the meetings. In the final joint communiqué, all a disappointed Putin could comment was that more work still had to be done “on study and approval”.

これがプーチン大統領がご機嫌斜めだった理由の一つですね。

Xi’s revisionist goals entail wiping out the shame of historical territorial losses. He has imposed Communist authority on Hong Kong, seeks to do so in Taiwan, and undoubtedly has the same ambition for the 600,000 square kilometres – three times the area of Great Britain – which Tsarist Russia wrested from Opium War-weakened Manchu control in 1858-60 under the Treaties of Aigun and Peking.

中国からしたらそうでしょう!

Already, cross-border economic activity in Siberia by uncounted Chinese communities, including in Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, tacitly revive historical Chinese claims to this resource-rich and highly strategic region. For decades, Chinese gangsters have been smuggling precious Siberian resources back to China through a porous frontier – often in collusion with Russian criminals. It’s a clear breach of Russian sovereignty.

こちらのほうが、ロシアにとって懸念だと思います。

（笑）

ところで、冬のハバロフスクで業務をしたことがあるのですが、冬にアムール川は氷り、武力激突で中国があの地域を取り戻すなら冬だと思いました（戦車はともかく軍用車なら楽勝で渡れます）が、そんな必要はなさそうですね。今のロシアなら一突きでおしまいです。

さぞかし、ロシアも焦っているでしょう。

ロシアさん、日本近海で遊んでいる場合じゃないのがわからないんですかね。
