  1. The CCP is nothing if not revanchist. This means that past perceived foreign slights and wars against China, like the Opium Wars, is turned into public spectacle. Sonething the CCP excels at in it's propaganda arm. This includes incursions into East Asia by Tzarist Russia from the 18th century onwards. Particularly where this affected Northeast China. Such as Dalien and other locations. The CCP has targeted Russia over Eastern Siberia, and Valdivostok, where Russia regards these outposts as inseperable to it. The CCP and PLA may take advantage of Russian weakness (particularly demonstrated in the weakness and corruption of it's army units in carrying out land offensives into northern Ukraine). The PLA might run the risk of a sudden takeover move into Russian held Siberia, so the Russia-China accord is as fragile and weak as the Comintern pact between Nazi Germany and Showa Japan.
