Many Americans listen to EXO-M, use OnePlus phones, watch TCL TVs, play Genshin Impact, waste time on TikTok. And that's despite huge negative propaganda campaigns. This shows the reach and power of the Chinese economy.Nani? You live in the US, so surely you know how much British culture are in America, no? Russia will not become a mini-China. Russia will become a junior partner to China in the next Cold War, but if you think Russia will join the Sinosphere in similar fashion like the US to England or Viet Nam to China, you do not know Russia as well as you think.
Vietnamese used to hate Chinese too. But they slowly changed, without firing a single bullet in 30 years. Hard to keep nationalist hate up when you buy and sell every day and talk to people right across the border.
Russians have no such negative programming. as they become more economically plugged into Chinese supply chains they will come face to face with Chinese cultural power. They already use Huawei networks, import TCL TVs and Oppo phones. If Putin falls, the #2 party is Communist Party of Russia.
