China being a powerful neighbor is far more of a factor than being Han. States generally balance with far-away states against nearby states. E.g. Stalinist China under Mao allied with the US against the 'revisionist' Soviets who went soft on Marxist orthodoxy. Ideology barely matters if at all.
anyone dumb enough to fall for this shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Ironic thing is that I bet Russia actually would rather have Trump in office, even despite all the wins Biden has given them.
...because they're not Han Chinese, and the Han don't give a shit about anybody else. Their alliance with China is unnatural.

Your example seems to contradict your point
How so? China allied with the 'far enemy' against the close enemy, and ignored ideology in favor of Realpolitik (and the US did as well).
