WHY?

China: 1.39B @ $13.61 trillion USD

Russia 0.14B @ $1.66 trillion USD

Russia is a vast, low population density, poor country with insufficient population to compete as a global power.

China is a vast, high population density, wealthy country with sufficient population to compete as a global power.

There is no Europe or Russia without Russia+Europe. Russian military, culture, resources, plus european economy is necessary for both.

Russia is to Canada as China is to America.

That’s why.

Canada exists because Americans don’t want it not to.

Russia exists only until Chinese don’t want it to.
