    https://thehill.com/opinion/international/5379824-china-wants-to-invade-siberia-not-taiwan/

    The article, citing a NYT report, argues that China may invade Siberia before it invades Taiwan; reasons being:

    • War with Taiwan will be very costly to all sides
    • Siberia has lots of natural resources that China needs
    • Russian defense are weakened and distracted by the war with Ukraine

    Thus, the argument goes that while Taiwan "unification" remains a useful rhetoric, Siberia makes a lower cost, higher return target for China if it were to invade somebody. 🤷

      I don't believe believe China will invade Russia. This seems farfetched to me. I also don't believe Russia is all that distracted nor weakened by the war in Ukraine. Ukraine used to fall under Russian hegemony and I believe it is incalculably more powerful than Ukraine.
