TopicChina declares part of Russia it's territory on new official maps.

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.
