#2 China has no known oil reserves, and its lack of energy resources is rapidly pushing Beijing toward expansion, possibly in Russia and Southeast Asia.

Without question we can expect the Russian Far East to gradually be sucked into the Chinese orbit. Russia can't even put down the Chechen revolt south of Moscow; how could they defend Sakhalin? Huge oil reserves there.

#3 there are already more illegial chinese than ethinc russian in siberia..and it is only going to get worse with the declining russian birth rate, chronic illness and russians leaving siberia..as it stands now the russian far east looks to china/japan for ecomomic support and not moscow.

#4 China has no known oil reserves,...

The last time I checked they did. Are we supposed to take this guy seriously as a source?

#5 and its lack of energy resources Its the world's largest coal producer. Is a big gas producer and has just implemented the world's biggest (i think) hydro project. The Chinese have a problem with security of oil supply, but then so does everyone else.

#6 These guys are buying at the peak of the market. Just like the Japanese. However, the Japanese were actually rich when they bought Rockefeller Center.

#7 Chinese oil reserves vary as the definition of what is China does. Without the dubious off shore "acquisitions" in the Parcels, etc., China has a very limited reserve. Overall, China is trying to catch up to its use. The coal reserves, polluting all the way, aren't yet enough to supply electricity demands, and you cannot burn coal in your car. OTOH, if 50 K Chinese die because it's a cold winter, they don't care.

lex: The Japanese would defend Sakhalin. And win.
