ukraine people didn't hate russians, unlike many other easten europeans.

but losing crimea is like a slap in the face, igniting the nationalism in ukraine.

basically russia get crimea but may lose a friendly or neutral ukriane forever.

now if china take part of myanmar, it would be the same. taking sesame instead of watermelon.

china should have long term ambitions: like our tang ancestors, soft power attraction, get all our or most of
our neighbors into a big east asia and pacific community.

a samll part of kokang? thta's just too short sighted
