In some parts of the world, it is difficult to accommodate two great powers, unless they are hostile and still vying for superiority. For example, in North America, the United States is the undisputed hegemon, and Canada, although it is bigger than the United States, can only be the little brother of the United States. They were at peace with each other because Canada knew it was no match for the United States and did not want to compete with it. The situation in North America is stable.
In the same way, Siberia should become an independent country, like Canada, and maintain friendly relations with China to the south. Siberia and Canada have a lot in common.
First of all, Siberia is huge, accounting for two-thirds of Russia, with more than 13 million square kilometers. Canada also has nearly 10 million square kilometers, which is about the same as the two. Secondly, the latitude of Siberia is also close to Canada, and both have cold climates, but also have a lot of resources. Again, Siberia has a small population of just over 30 million, and Canada is about the same, with 40 million, all living mainly in the south. Finally, Siberia and Canada, both lands were acquired from the colonizers. Siberia was a colony of Tsarist Russia, and Canada was a colony of France and Great Britain.
Therefore, it is quite appropriate for Siberia to create a country similar to Canada. They don't have to worry about national defense, because there is China's big brother in the south. Such a pattern is beneficial to both sides. Everyone likes to have a gentle and wealthy neighbor.
However, the fate of Siberia did not go well, they were always controlled by Russia and did not receive real development. Russia also does not treat Siberia seriously, but only treats them as a resource **, or a military front. The history here can be divided into three phases.
The first stage was the period of Tsarist Russia, which occupied Siberia from 1860 onwards, and then expanded eastward and southward until it captured the Transnortheastern and Baikal regions. Tsarist Russia wanted to establish a Yellow Russian empire here and control all of Asia. They built railways, built banks, engaged in economic **, and also encouraged immigrants, gave them land, exempted them from taxes, and made them landlords. However, the plans of Tsarist Russia did not succeed, as they met with Japanese obstruction.
In 1904, Japan launched the Russo-Japanese War, which inflicted huge losses on Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia's navy was crippled, and its army was also defeated. Tsarist Russia had to sign the Treaty of Portsmouth in 1905, relinquishing its interests in the Northeast. Since then, the dreams of Tsarist Russia in Asia have been shattered, and they have lost their roots in Siberia.
The second stage, the Soviet period, began in 1917 when the Soviet Union took over the legacy of Tsarist Russia, including Siberia. The attitude of the Soviet Union towards Siberia was better than that of Tsarist Russia, and they established universities here, engaged in scientific research, and gave some financial subsidies, which seemed to have great potential for development. However, the center of gravity of the USSR was still in Europe, and they saw Siberia as a rear, or as a buffer zone, and did not really consider it a part of themselves. The policy of the Soviet Union, instead of increasing the population of Siberia, made them lose a lot. Because the rule of the USSR was high-handed, **, cruel, they did not respect the will of the Siberians and did not care about their lives.
In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed, and Siberia became part of modern Russia. This is the third stage, and it is the current stage. Modern Russia's attitude towards Siberia is even worse than that of the Soviet Union, they hardly invest in Siberia, and only treat them as a resource bank, or as a military base. They made a lot of money by transporting Siberian resources to Europe by pipeline, but did not spend a penny on the development of Siberia. They built a lot of nuclear ** and ** in Vladivostok, but did not give Siberia any security. They see Siberia as a colony, not as an equal partner.
As a result, the population of Siberia is getting smaller, poorer, and more backward. Many Siberians have chosen to leave and go to the European part of Russia, or other countries, in search of a better life. They have no hope for Siberia and no sense of belonging. They feel that Siberia is not their home, but their cage.
If this continues, sooner or later Siberia will break away from Russia and become an independent state. This is the law of history and the will of the people. Siberia has the right to choose its own destiny and the right to build its own state. For Siberians, this is a kind of liberation and a kind of happiness. For China, it is also a good thing and an opportunity. Because China and Siberia can become close neighbors, can cooperate for mutual benefit, and can develop together. China will not exploit and oppress Siberia like Russia, but will respect and support Siberia. China will not invade and plunder Siberia like Japan, but will protect and help Siberia.
China and Siberia can become the source of peace and the engine of East Asia's development. Siberia has abundant resources and China has a strong market, and the two can complement each other and prosper together. China can help Siberia build infrastructure, increase productivity, increase employment opportunities, and improve people's livelihood. Siberia can provide China with energy, minerals, agricultural products, etc., to meet China's needs, increase revenue**, and stabilize the fiscal situation. China and Siberia can build a close economic alliance that promotes investment and win-win situations.
China and Siberia can not only cooperate economically, but also through cultural exchanges to enhance mutual understanding and trust. Siberia and China have deep historical ties, similar geographical environments, and common interests. Siberians can learn about Chinese culture, understand Chinese history, thought, art, science and technology, etc., and enrich their knowledge and vision. Chinese can also learn Siberian culture, understand Siberian customs, folk customs, religious beliefs, national characteristics, etc., and expand their own cognition and feelings. China and Siberia can build a close cultural community that promotes exchanges and integration between the two sides and achieves harmony in diversity.
China and Siberia can also cooperate politically to safeguard the security and interests of both sides. Siberia, as an independent state, can be freed from Russian control and interference and realize its own sovereignty and dignity. As a friendly neighbor, China can support Siberia's independence and development and protect Siberia's rights and interests. China and Siberia can build a stable political alliance to defend against external threats and challenges and achieve common security.
In short, Siberia should become independent and become the Canada of East Asia, which is beneficial to Siberia, to China, and to East Asia. This is a choice that is in line with history, in line with reality, and in line with the future. This is a reasonable, righteous and advantageous choice. This is an inevitable, necessary, and necessary choice. It is hoped that Siberians will come to their senses and bravely pursue their freedom and happiness. It is hoped that the Chinese will support, cooperate and coexist amicably with the Siberians. It is hoped that East Asians will welcome and peacefully interact and develop with the Siberians. Let us work together for the independence of Siberia, for peace in East Asia, and for the progress of mankind!
