  1. It's far less than a quarter of a history lesson, for even just the few regions discussed briefly, let alone claims of 10k years of "owning", ignoring other occupations of China or Russia, etc. History is a rich tapestry woven full of the folly of man.

  2. Manchuria then belongs to the Mongols, of Mongolia. Or did we forget about Genghis Khan? Hell, based upon such ancient claims, Mongolia owns everything through the Middle East and over half of Europe! Now, China invades, Russia launches their nukes from their bases on the Peninsula, their forces glow. Not a good idea or option. Worse, it destabilize the region, which isn't in the PRC's interest, potentially bringing the Kuril islands into question more than currently, bringing Japan into the mess, again against PRC memories and interests, North Korea then jumps off while everyone's distracted and the entire Pacific powder keg goes off, to the harm of Russia and the PRC. All, before the PRC has completed their blue water navy, again to their disadvantage. Of course, most of the predictions here have aged well - as milk left in the summer sun for a week. Like every other prediction since the dawn of time... Humanity just sucks at predicting things that are complex, largely due to insufficient information.
