Historical Memories of the Year

From the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Shah Rus looked at the Chinese border, and when the national strength was weakened, they seized a lot of land.The Treaty of 1858 directly put the 600,000 square kilometers of the northern shore of the Chongqing River into the Russian pocket, when the Qing government could not do so, only to sign it.

Following the Beijing Treaty of 1860 and the loss of 400,000 square kilometers from the east side of the Ussuri River to the sea, the Seymour Sea was gone. On the northwest side, the 1864 Tower Protocol and the 1881 Iwan Treaty, zero lost a total of 400,000 square kilometers. Together, the Saudis took more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land from China through these treaties, the Chinese remember this account.

After the Soviet Union took over, these lands were still theirs, the border issue was still pending. After the founding of New China, they began to talk to the Soviet Union about these historical legacy matters, but China was still weak at the time, and there was no great progress after half a day.

After the reform and opening up, the Chinese economy started fast, international influence came up. The Soviet Union disintegrated into Russia, the economy became a pot, the relationship with the West was still worse, they began to want to get closer to China. border negotiations was really a little moving, Russia began to make concessions on the territory, although the start was small, but finally a beginning.

Since 1991, Russia has returned a number of disputed lands in batches, a total of four times, with an area of about 195 square kilometers, although this attitude has changed significantly compared to the history of little witches.

First in 1991, the East Frontier Agreement was signed, and Russia left about 9 square kilometers above the Siberian edge, mainly involving the adjustment of the riverway, the disputed points of those historical legacy. Russia just broke up from the Soviet Union, internal instability, the need to stabilize the surroundings, China's reform and opening up results began to appear, and they also saw, showed well.

The second time in 1993, again 4.7 square kilometers, near the northeast Hassan district, this time is the finishing border line, the small islands on the river.

When Putin came to power in 2000, China-Russia relations became tighter. The fourth largest, a supplementary agreement was signed in 2004, and half of Heixiazi Island was officially handed over in 2008, covering an area of approximately 174 square kilometers. This island was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1929. It is located in a key location, at the confluence of Heilongjiang and Wusuli rivers, and has high strategic value.

Putin's government is sincere in promoting this, because it is useful to the Russian military, but they still gave it up. After China's recovery, there is a large development space on the island, which can improve the waterway ecology. The whole process was negotiated by both sides. Russia is naturally more willing to cooperate when it sees that China's economy is at the forefront of the world and its scientific, technological and military strength is progressing.

Behind these returns, China's comprehensive national strength upgrading is key, negotiations are more.If not China's hard gas, what would be so smooth.The Russian economy lags behind, China's import of people's goods and technology is needed, these concessions in exchange for trade breakthroughs, also worth it.
