Sino-Russian Border Incident

The Sino-Russian Border Incident (also known as the Sino-Russian Border War) was a military conflict between China and the Christian Republic of New Russia. It began when Russia deployed soldiers to the Russo-Chinese border after receiving intelligence from GRU that the Chinese were performing "unethical experiments" and building a possible "army of supersoldiers". On August 30, 2017, Russian soldiers were deployed to the border to investigate, which led to a shootout and a massacre on both sides. This incident paved the way for the Sino-Russian War years later.
==Background==
On August 29, 2017, the Christian Republic of New Russia received alarming news from GRU operatives and Federation intelligence operatives in the Chinese-Russian border: the Chinese People's Liberation Army had been conducting rather "unethical experiments" in a government black site known as "Area X". This sparked massive international outrage throughout Russia, seeing that China was experimenting on both prisoners of war and innocent civilians.
The most recent victims were members of a missions trip sponsored by Campus Crusader Underdogs. They had been previously arrested by the Chinese Ministry of State Security, suspected of committing "subversive activities" against the People's Republic of China. However, MSS agent Gang Han decided to use the prisoners as test subjects in his own war, aiming to transform them into superhuman assassin-soldiers, the Chinese counterpart of the CIA's Operation Blackfish. 
==The incident==
On the morning of August 30, 2017, Russian soldiers under the command of Nikolai Kalinin were deployed to the Chinese-Russian border to investigate the claims of experimentation programs. What they found outraged them: they discovered evidence of human experimentation projects being done on POWs and other political prisoners, including some American missionaries from overseas.
Kalinin gave orders to get the Americans out, but they suddenly encountered heavy resistance in the form of Chinese MSS agents supported by the People's Liberation Army. Following a vicious firefight, Kalinin was able to escape with the lives of his men and the American missionaries, but not before killing Gang Han in a vicious hand-to-hand fight. 
==Aftermath and legacy==
The Chinese government condemned the operation, accusing Russia of "meddling" with affairs that it never should have been involved in. Relations between the two countries were strained and in the end, the tensions eventually exploded with the onset of the Sino-Russian War.
