Russia and China
Russia and China (Россия и Китай) is planned as collection of references that seem to be important for understanding of events of the modern history.
In 2014, since the Russian invasion into Ukraine ( 2014.02.20 ), China becomes the main strategic partner of Russia.
In the similar way, in 1940, the USSR had been the main strategic partner of Germany.
This analogy leads to the hypothesis, that within 2014–2020, relations between Russia and China may develop in a way, similar to relations between Germany and the USSR in years 1940s.
In order to check the efficiency of the historical analogies, this article collects the links on the topic.

The land is part of the territory ceded to Russia by the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) after its defeat in the Second Opium War. From 1858 to 1915, the declining Qing Dynasty gave up about 1,500,000 sq km to Tsarist Russia through several unequal treaties. The area will be administered by Jilin's Hunchun, a county-level city bordering Russia and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The regained territory covers a part of the Hubutu River, which is only 60 km from Ussuriysk, the largest Chinese cargo transportation center in Russia's Far East. The countries are discussing opening a new port on the northward-flowing river. According to Hunchun municipal government, China and Russia redefined the border in 1993, and the land was acquired by China at that time. In 2014, the State Council of China named five places in the area “Jiepailing", "Tuolungang", "Hongqizhuang", "Jilonggou" and "Lanxiangpin”. Location of the boundary markers was finalized by the Hunchun government in May.

В одном из китайских городов, на улицу вышла маленькая двух-летняя девочка, ехавшая по дороге машина сбила ребенка... ребенок оказался между колесами... машина постояла.. водитель не вышел а подождав немного поехал дальше переехав девочку и задними колесами.. За первой машиной появилась другая, водитель посигналил и увидев что ребенок не реагирует поехал по ней. У него была возможность объехать девочку, но он решил по другому. В течении 10 минут мимо дважды раздавленного ребенка прошло 18 человек.. и никто не остановился. В конце концов какая то "добрая женщина" оттащила девочку с дороги на обочину и оставив там ушла.
