Look at it this way...

theres all the suspected natural that theoretically can rival the ME by way of oil, gas, etc. China needs more and more as it grows, and hey look, theres next to nobody defending these untapped reserves.

just my 0.02

So there's tons of open land in Siberia?:hmm: Where do I buy a piece of land?:hmm:

I think it would be interesting if China decides it needs to expand. How do you say lebensraum in Chinese? Could the Russians even stop the PLA in a conventional war?
