The real red pill is that everyone who can, plays geopolitics like this. If Tuvalu could, they would rule the world with an iron fist.

I think China has a strategic interest in Russian territorial integrity, though I'm sure they want them financially dependent on them. They probably don't want to deal with breakaway banana republics on their border. They would probably invade them for "security" reasons, but I think they're happy to leave them as they are. Likewise, Pakistan is probably getting extremely good arms prices to ensure the trade route through Kashmir is maintained. Bangladesh and Myanmar are also supplied to try to box in India, though I doubt they're considered as important.
