China and Russia once agreed that Vladivostok should be returned to China in 1995, but why have they not kept their promises?
The name Vladivostok, as many people know, was once the territory of China, and now Vladivostok is the Far East of Russia, and people from the Northeast often travel there to appreciate the customs of the Russians
Vladivostok (Russian: Владивосток, English: Vladivostok), formerly known as Vladivostok, is located in the northeast of the Eurasian continent, the southernmost tip of the Amur Peninsula. During the Qing Dynasty, it was Chinese territory and was subordinate to the Jilin generals. On November 14, 1860, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing ceded the territory east of the Ussuri River, including Vladivostok, to the Russian Empire, which named it Vladivostok, which means "to rule the East" in Russian. The area is equal to the size of 10 Taiwan provinces!
As of 2023, the total population is 605,000, mainly Russians and ethnic Russians in China. The climate is mainly temperate continental humid climate, with an average high temperature of 8.38 °C, an average low temperature of 1.38 °C, and an average precipitation of 797 mm.
Vladivostok is a beautiful city located on the Gold Coast of the Russian Far East, blessed with natural resources and landscapes. The city is surrounded by many magnificent attractions and nature reserves, such as the famous Vilahi Bay, which has crystal clear waters and a spectacular coastline. In addition, Vladivostok has an abundance of outdoor landscapes. The climate is pleasant, the landscape is pleasant, and the beauty is breathtaking!
China and Russia once agreed that Vladivostok should be returned to China in 1995, but why is it still Russian territory? Do you know? In the northeastern border of China, there is a city called Vladivostok, which used to be our land, but now it is far away from Russia's territory. It's rich in history, but it's also full of heart-wrenching past. Today, we are going to reveal a little-known historical secret -- there was an agreement between China and Russia that Vladivostok was supposed to be returned to China in 1995, but why is it still Russian territory?
Today, Vladivostok, while still part of Russia, is increasingly connected to China. As an important city in the Russian Far East, Vladivostok has become the main platform for Sino-Russian cooperation in the East. Here, a series of important cooperation projects are in full swing, the most notable of which is the "China-Russia Eastern Route Gas Pipeline". The pipeline not only provides China with a steady stream of natural gas resources, but also brings huge economic benefits to eastern Russia.
Economically, Vladivostok is also very well developed, with many important industrial and commercial enterprises, including industries such as shipping, fishing, oil and gas, etc. It is one of the financial centers of the Russian Far East, attracting a large number of investment and business opportunities.
At the end of last year, Russia also relaxed the control of the Heihe border, Chinese tourists can enter and exit Russia without a visa within 24 hours, and Russian tourists can also go to China for travel and shopping without compulsion, which undoubtedly further strengthens the cooperation and exchanges between the two sides. In the foreseeable future, China and Russia will continue to maintain cooperative relations, and the two countries will seek common ground while reserving differences, work together to face opportunities and challenges, and strive for a better tomorrow together!
