Overflying Russia, what happens in an emergency landing?

God forbids this happens but given that overlying Eastern Russia is now the norm for JFK-HKG, what happens supposedly when there is an emergency over Russia….with a plane full of US citizens ?

Diversion to the nearest airport in Russia? Or would the CX protocol be to continue flying until the nearest diversion airport in Mongolia/China?
