Here is possibly the most interesting quote of this thread...

Majority of Russia's population is in the west, the east is fairly sparse. Majority of China's population is to the east, right next to sparsely populated eastern russia.

Wholly and solely at a guess, China will be more than happy to buy from Russia until Russia makes drilling and mining there economically viable.

As soon as that happens, the world will see a funny case of deja vu, but it will be the russians crying foul, and the chinese annexing territory.
Doesn't that thought just remind you of Tom Clancy , ever read "The Bear and the Dragon" - some of the stuff that going on seems like it been pulled straight from one of his books

What Darius said. I knew I had read that somewhere before. =)
