Multiple regions in Eastern Russia already have a very heavy Chinese presence, and everyday the Russian population there dwindles. If you look at that link I provided, the Chinese already control the majority of the farms in the Jewish Oblast and the Khaborovsk Krai region:

There's nothing historically Russian about Siberia. The way Russia is trending, they simply don't have the resources to continue controlling Siberia much longer.
They’ll probably end up selling Siberia to China like the Russian empire sold Alaska to the USA
