I have recently read an interesting article by A. Khramchykhin in NVO military monthly: "Chinese tiger is redying to strike". In short author pointed out growing China's military power and geopolitical ambitions. Both can be fueled by present financial crisis and lack of natural resources easily accessible in Russia. As a result US would be forced to divide spheres of influence with emerging Chinese superpower and that way Asian part of Russia would become Chinese proper. Also present Russian military reform (especially very sharp reductions of Russian Army size) will destroy Russian military capabilities against China completely allowing them to achieve Chinese strategic goals almost peacefully. Below you can read full article in Russian:
