In addition to the Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island, China has marked the #Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and the border region of Aksai Chin as its territory on maps. The Indian Foreign Ministry has already protested to Beijing.
At the bottom of the tweet:That's nothing new. China and India have been fighting (sometimes literally) over Arunachal Pradesh since the PRC became a thing.
They just wanna piss off ALL their regional rivals, don't they?
I'm assuming Russia will not like some other country just declaring part of it as it's own?I think Jinping's attitude is going to be something like "well what are you going to do about it?"
That's nothing new. China and India have been fighting (sometimes literally) over Arunachal Pradesh since the PRC became a thing.It's truly bizarre the way they do it, too. They've got a mutual agreement to fight with literal sticks instead of guns so that it won't escalate into a full-scale war. So the border units of the Indian and Chinese armies just periodically beat the shit out of each other to show that they still both claim the territory.

Does China have any neighbors that it doesn't have border disputes with?To be fair a lot of the 18th-early 20th century was China getting shit on by other powers
So, Putin, you sent a whole bunch of your military to Ukraine, and got them slaughtered, losing far more than you gained. Now China is about to go after your land, and you have a corrupt and depleted force.
What's your next move now, genius?

Russia actually stole quite a bit of territory from China in the 19th century. (Plus a tiny piece of the northernmost tip of Korea that Russia mistakenly thought they were stealing from China. Korea's government at the time was so isolated that they didn't even notice it had happened until decades later.) The pink in this map used to be Chinese, and in fact was the homeland of the then-ruling Qing dynasty. China has certainly not forgotten about this. Or about the Russian massacres of thousands of Chinese living there. Once Russia has outlived its usefulness to China, I'm sure they'll seek tp recover those territories (and probably grab as much of the rest of the Russian Far East as they can manage).

The adjacent island of Sakhalin also used to be part of China, but was taken from them by Japan in the 17th century. The USSR took it from Japan after WW2, and Russia kept it after the fall of the USSR.

Invite Xi Jinping to the House Of Many Stairs and Windows for tea.RIP Russia
Does China have any neighbors that it doesn't have border disputes with?North Korea I'm guessing.
Russia probably won't still exist as a nation like 10 years from nowmost likely
Oh that sounds bad ass
That will be wild if instead of invading Taiwan China invades Russia and takes what it wants from that crippled weak nation.If you can't have the best...
