The Death of Russia - TL

That Red Russia would be so weak that China wouldn't face any difficulties to ally or even puppetise the place. And it would be so dependent on Chinese support that it would accept whatever terms China gives. Basically "Ally with us or starve".
But wouldn't the rebuilding of Russia be a drain Chinese economy?
I think that China would just put it under military protection and gain accsess to cheap resources.
Millions compared to the Billion that they have currently inside their border would be fine.
The Russian Far East Economic Region which is more or less Russia east of the center of Mongolia has roughly 4 Million people in an area that is 7 million sq km. China is about 10 million sq km. So a 70% increase in area with a population increase of less than 1%. I'm not even sure that Russians would be in the top 3 non-Han peoples in this expanded China.
This isn't eu4 why would they want desolate improvised land that probably filled with Partisans?
They would be just annexing Mongolia and Tuva.
I was speaking of 1910 borders.
I was also half joking.
Partisans fighting for what? If Russia already not exist, the Partisans hadn't none for fight.
It's a joke but idk US wants to prevent China from getting to Kamchatka?
For China I'd see them not annexing anything (until the 2010s) but try to make every state in the Far East economically dependent on them and extract resources from them. So basically they would try to buy loyalty from the warlords there with the Americans and Japanese doing the same for the oil off the North sea.
Japan would at most get the four Kuril islands close to Hokkaido and maybe Shakalin.

Honestly, I would expect that China would *welcome* Japan and the US grabbing other parts of the Russian Far East as long as they didn't grab too much. If the US ends up with the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug because they don't want China that close to Alaska and Japan grabs Kamchatka that means that China ends up with 80+% of that area and knows that the West won't object to grabbing the rest.
If Russia is being dismembered, everyone gets a piece. Except Bolivia. Bolivia gets nothing.
I think he'd not be making yt videos and probably either not exist (should be born after the pod), dead, a refugee, and be unable to post yt videos (his hometown is chelabinysk) as the internet won't get there due to it being a warzone. But something like Roman would exist ittl. And be considerably propagandised.
Maybe the Americans get bits of the aleutians and Japan gets the four Kuril islands they claimed against the USSR from since WWII. And maybe (like a teeny tiny chance) Shakalin.
I could see an alt Xi (with shit economy and stuff) try to take Mongolia and outer Manchuria since I do think China getting economic downturn in the late 2010s due to the one child policy is inevitable.
