My favorite bit:
China is searching for traces of “ancient Chinese peoples” in the Russian Far East, possibly to influence local opinion that is favorable to Chinese claims, the document says. In 2023, China published an official [map](https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/31/india/india-china-map-protest-intl-hnk) that included historical Chinese names for cities and areas within Russia.
The F.S.B. ordered officers to expose such “revanchist” activities, as well as attempts by China to use Russian scientists and archival funds for research aimed at attaching a historical affiliation to borderlands.
“Conduct preventative work with respect to Russian citizens involved in the said activities,” the memo orders. “Restrict entry into our country for foreigners as a measure of influence.”
I wouldn’t trust any countries nowadays, especially Russia and China
