Putin is really putting the screws to Russia, even more the longer the genocidal war of aggression against Ukraine continues. China will likely attempt to retake what is known today as Russian Manchuria.

All those former Soviet central Asian republics will be easily drawn into Chinas sphere of influence though. China might even covertly support rebellion in Siberia.
