That is total fringe stuff. Asserting what you did as fact is just bs disinformation. I'm sure on all sides countries will be thinking about what happens with Russian resources and who steps in for redevelopment in the case of a Russian collapse, but the idea that China views everything east of the Urals as Chinese is not reality. I've never heard that advocated for in China, not even in a Monroe equivalent kind of way, and it's certainly not any government position.
