It would take a relatively small amount of migration to bring huge parts of Siberia under Chinese cultural and economic influence.

Can you point in the direction of any policy paper, speech, strategy paper, state media piece, opinion piece from a state-aligned organization or anything like that from the Chinese sphere that advocates for or supports the idea?
I mean, it's kind of interesting as a speculative idea, but unless there's something substantial grounding it I don't see how anyone could take it seriously as more than a fringe conspiracy theory, and a conspiracy theory that's maybe working in some 'ethnic replacement' kind of tropes that are always worth being careful around.
