There were already plans drawn up afaik as to which countries were going to take which regions. Vaguely remember something like:
>Uk = Kyiv
>Germany = Donbas
>France = Odesa
>Poland = Lviv
or something along these lines.

I think China would be missing a huge opportunity if they didn't go all in an eastern rebuild. It'd demonstrate global superiority in international development, and give the locals "a chance to build a Chinese life in Europe", etc.

The Balkans geographically are absolutely useless for trade though. As long as a highway from Istanbul to Vienna is maintained, that's all which is needed.

A Ukraine base allows for influencing the entire east of Europe and Central Asia via the Black Sea.
The region has lots of undeveloped land with water and fertile soils..... It's a perfect place for mass migration.
