Conflicts in Asia constantly remind me of disputes in Europe. Eurasia is a reasonably large document, but at the same time, even large states continually strive to expand their influence. Although China's position can be understood, given that their population is about 1/7 of the world's population. European countries are also constantly dividing territories and seeking independence. I have been on vacation in Europe several times. Most countries are self-sufficient. For example, Portugal has gorgeous beaches, friendly locals and centuries-old architecture, so the state earns good money on tourism. But there are small states like Serbia and Moldova that make money from conflicts.

This is the first time I've heard about it.
