Also the Chinese i thought used the article of the treaty of Constantinople that stated Asia was Russia's sphere of influence as Casus Belli to declare war on Russia.

I'll wait for Outcast's final word. I just don't see how Turkey making an alliance with China is somehow more believable than Austria realizing it's better off being friends with Prussia because it has literally nothing to gain from competing with them, while it has plenty to gain from allying with them.

Not only do I think it's actually somewhat believable, but compared to some of the stuff that has supposedly slipped in this RP, it's very mild. So forgive me if I feel like I'm getting handed a very shitty end of the stick here.
