You Can't See It In Moscow: China Takes Russian Territories ( charter97.org )

"It is not visible how China's creeping expansion is slowly alienating Russian territories," Sergey Aslanyan stressed.

Many years ago, a large number of Russian lands were closed to Russians themselves. Enclaves for timber processing, smuggling poaching – all this was guarded by the Chinese. Even now, some local border regions say that they are afraid to go deep into the territories, because there are Chinese guards around the perimeter. They're armed.

"If you read the Chinese media outlets, they say that you should not invest in the economy of neighboring territories, but you should allow your locals to assimilate these territories in order to enter them and then begin to develop," said Aslanyan.

China is redefining its borders with its neighbors, including Russia (September 2023)

[...] Located at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers, this island of around 300 square kilometers has long been a subject of dispute between the two countries. In 1929, Russia occupied the island and prohibited China from navigating that part of the Amur River, which Beijing has always contested. In 2004, however, the two countries reached a compromise: The western part of the island went to China, which could also navigate on the Amur River, but in return, Beijing accepted that the eastern part would go to Russia.
