I. Introduction
When people think of Vladivostok, they always think of that tortuous history. Vladivostok, an important port in the Far East, was once the territory of the mainland during the Qing Dynasty. However, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, due to various reasons at home and abroad, Vladivostok was assigned to the Soviet Union. So, is it true that China and the Soviet Union agreed that Vladivostok would be returned to the mainland in 1995?
II. Historical Background
In 1858, the Qing Dynasty signed the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing with Russia, which transferred part of its territory, including Vladivostok, to Russia. In 1950, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China and the Soviet Union signed the Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance between the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Socialist Republic, and the Soviet Union promised to return Vladivostok in 1991.
3. The mystery of the return of Vladivostok
In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the Far East, where Vladivostok is located, became part of Russia. Since then, the issue of the return of Vladivostok has become a sensitive topic between China and Russia. Rumor has it that at the meeting between the leaders of China and the Soviet Union, it was agreed that Vladivostok would be returned to the mainland in 1995. However, this claim has not been officially confirmed.
4. Truth and Misunderstanding
In fact, in the records of the meeting between the leaders of China and the Soviet Union, there is no clear mention of the time of the return of Vladivostok. At present, China and Russia are still holding consultations through diplomatic channels on the issue of the return of Vladivostok. Although the issue of the return of Vladivostok has not yet been satisfactorily resolved, relations between the two countries have always maintained good development, and cooperation between the two sides in various fields has been continuously strengthened.
V. Conclusion
The issue of the return of Vladivostok touches the hearts of every Chinese. On this issue, we must look at it objectively and treat it rationally. History cannot be changed, but the future can be shaped. In the context of the new era, China and Russia will work together to write a new chapter of friendship. As every Chinese, we must remember history, cherish peace, and strive to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
