Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, has China's land been paid off?
Historically, China and Russia did not border each other, and the Russian Principality at that time had only a small village near Moscow, but after hundreds of years of painstaking management, this principality gradually became a climate, constantly encroaching on the surrounding land and slaughtering the local indigenous people. When it came to the Ming Dynasty, he even sent emissaries to China, hoping to prepare for the invasion of the eastern continent by listening to China's virtual reality.
Although such a plan was temporarily shelved and the war in Europe was temporarily shelved, with the advancement of science and technology, especially after Peter the Great carried out serfdom reforms, Tsarist Russia became more powerful, and a series of annexation events allowed Tsarist Russia's territory to expand rapidly, and finally began to border China at the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In the half century after the Opium War, Tsarist Russia signed many agreements with the Qing government on land-cutting indemnities, and appropriated 1.5 million square kilometers of land for itself, which became the greatest shame and harm in the history of the Chinese nation. In particular, the local Chinese Han Chinese were either driven out of the land where they had lived for countless generations by force by the soldiers of Tsarist Russia, or they were slaughtered, and countless Chinese sons and daughters were killed in Huangquan, becoming the biggest victims of the country's period of poverty and weakness.
However, after the establishment of the Soviet Union, the Soviet government, which had just come to power, announced to the world that all treaties signed by the previous Tsarist Russian government would be null and void and that the land that had been occupied by China would be returned. At this time, the Nationalist government was very happy after hearing this news, but the matter of land transfer was finally dismissed because of the Soviet Union's remorse.
What was even more excessive was that the Soviet Union not only failed to return our land, but also mobilized its own army to occupy many places and planned the independence of Outer Mongolia. In fact, to let the Soviet Union return the land to China at any cost is a fool's dream. Because both the Soviet Union and Tsarist Russia had a vampire obsession with territory. Not only in China in the east, Japan has a large amount of land occupied by it, and in Europe, Poland and Finland have been occupied by the Soviet Union.
Even after World War II, the Soviet Union created armed conflict on China's borders in the hope of encroaching on China's territory, and the Zhenbao Island Border Defense War appeared in this context.
After the liberation of the Soviet Union, China had the opportunity to reclaim the occupied land, but for reasons of national strategy, it has not found a suitable time to complete the great cause of its predecessors and take back the lost territory. Although Putin the Great has said more than one similar thing: "For the territorial ownership of the Far East, this is a problem left over from history, so let us leave it to future generations to solve." ”
But we should also be clear that this kind of diplomatic rhetoric has no practical significance for reclaiming our territory, and perhaps it is really left to our children and grandchildren to solve the mistakes made by the Manchu Dynasty. In fact, the more important thing is to have a sense of danger in times of peace, although we are currently in a peaceful country, but we must not forget how much suffering we have experienced.
So, almost 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, how much land has Russia returned to China? According to a supplementary agreement signed by China and Russia in 2004, part of the territory including the Fuyuan Delta (Black Blind Island) was returned to China, including Silver Dragon Island and other land, an area equivalent to 12 Macao. Although this is only a small part of it compared with the territory area we have lost, I believe that in time, the land that has been lost will return to the embrace of the motherland! Do you say yes?
