SYNOPSIS
Far Eastern Siberia was Chinese in the 16th century and became Russian after the defeat of the Middle Kingdom by the expansionistic dreams of Nicolas I. Today, could Siberia become Chinese again? Some 7 million Russians thus monitor 148 million Chinese who, little by little, cross the Amur River to live on the other side of the border. A peaceful invasion that concerns Russian diplomacy.
