Judging by current events: Eventually, China is going to need nat-
ural resources. Since they have about the worst naval program since
Nazi Germany, going overseas is a not-working option. Therefore,
the only place they can get those resources is Siberia. Of course, this
puts them in conflict with Paneurope, which has BPC armor, battle-
suits, and all the other fun stuff the Chinese seem to never have
developed. China gets to re-enact the 1930s embarrassment of the
Imperial Japanese Army at Khalkin-Gol; the Japanese (having Been
There, Done That,and Dug The Graves) wait for the Chinese to beat
themselves to death against the Paneuro lines, then roll in and mop
up the remnants.
