中国官方媒体鼓励民众讨论北京是否该以俄罗斯对待乌克兰的方式占领邻国领土。数以千计网民在微博加入讨论该问题。
"In October 1945， the Soviet Union encouraged northern Mongolia to hold a referendum， and with less than 50，000 voting participants， ripped away 15 percent of China's sovereign territory，" a satirist who goes by the online moniker Cui Chenghao wrote to his two million followers in Weibo， China's Twitter。
"Return Mongolia to us， and then we'll support the Crimean referendum，" another Weibo user said。
But the official Chinese media is full of praise for Russia's show of muscle that has even frightened western powers， who are now reluctant to interfere in favor of Ukraine。
“1945年10月，苏联鼓励北蒙古举行全民投票，当时投票人数不足5万人，分裂了中国15%的主权领土。”一位网民叫崔成浩的讽刺家在微博上对200万粉丝写道。
另一位微博用户说道，“把蒙古还给我们，我们就支持克里米亚全民公投。”
但是中国官方媒体有关俄罗斯秀肌肉的报道充满着赞美之词，这种秀肌肉甚至吓到了西方大国，后者不愿意进行干涉来支持乌克兰。
