Ethinic Chinese in Russia

Things that crack me up.

Additionally, the expanding Chinese presence in the area began to lead to yellow peril-style fears of Chinese irredentism by the Russians.[9] Russian newspapers began to publish speculation that between two and five million Chinese migrants actually resided in the Russian Far East, and predicted that half of the population of Russia would be Chinese by 2050.[26][36] Russians typically believe that Chinese come to Russia with the aim of permanent settlement, and even former president Vladimir Putin was quoted as saying "If we do not take practical steps to advance the Far East soon, after a few decades, the Russian population will be speaking Chinese, Japanese, and Korean."[37]

Some Russians perceive hostile intent in the Chinese practise of using different names for local cities, such as Hǎishēnwǎi for Vladivostok, and a widespread folk belief states that the Chinese migrants remember the exact locations of their ancestors' ginseng patches, and seek to reclaim them.[9] According to some journalists, like David Hall of The Japan Times, all Chinese leaders up through Hu Jintao promise that China will reclaim all these territories one day as it did Hong Kong and Macau, and Chinese schools teach children that the Russian provinces on the other side of the 4300-km border, or Outer Manchuria, belong to China.[35] One unnamed Western analyst, speaking to Asia Times Online journalist Bertil Lintner on the subject of underpopulation in Russia's Far Eastern Federal District, claimed that "If the Russians continue to move out, the Chinese are ready to fill the resultant population vacuum in the area."[29]

The xenophobia against Chinese and exaggerated concerns over the Chinese influx are described as less prevalent in the east, where most of the Chinese shuttle trade is actually occurring, than in European Russia.[25]
