China and Russia have been friendly in many political aspects in recent years, but in fact,In the last century, Russia, like other great powers, has taken land from China.
During the war in the last century, Russia took away many pieces of land from our country, and in 1994, it was even more soTangnu UlianghaiIt was also allocated to Russia, and now after all these years, can these territories be taken back again?
As early as after the Opium War, still in the late Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia already had great ambitions for the land of our country. In 1864, the western part of the Tangnu-Ulianghai was already occupied by Tsarist Russia.
For nearly a few decades after that, Tsarist Russia opened mines, opened shops, built churches, and relocated people in this area. At that time, although this territory was not directly taken away, Tsarist Russia had almost become the actual control of this region.
In 1911, Tsarist Russia instigated Outer Mongolia to declare independence, and the western region of Canada was completely muddy. At the same time, in order to strengthen the colonial rule of Tangnu Ulianghai, Tsarist Russia sent a large number of troops in the name of caravan armed escort.
In 1921, with the encouragement and support of Tsarist Russia, both Outer Mongolia and Tangnu-Ulianghai declared independence one after another. At this point, these two regions were lost from Chinese land.
In 1944, the Tuva People's Republic, which had been established in the Tangnu-Ulianghai region, officially joined the Soviet Union, which was also expanding and pursuing international status, so it readily agreed despite China's opposition.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he visited the Soviet Union, and when he met and talked with Stalin, he re-mentioned the territorial issues of Tangnu-Ulianghai and Outer Mongolia, but Stalin took a very tough attitude towards this.
However, China has not given up these two lost territories, and it has also been emphasized afterwards that the territories occupied by Tsarist Russia in the past are currently on hold, but this does not mean that China will give up the sovereignty of these territories.
In 1991, the Soviet Union officially collapsed, and China sent representatives to Russia again to negotiate the ownership of the Tangnu-Ulianghai, but of course Russia was unwilling to respond to the matter.
In 1994, on September 3 of that year, our country signed an agreement recognizing the Taunu Ulianghai as belonging to Russia. And the reason why this agreement was signed is not because we want to give up this territory.
In 1994, China was in the most critical period of reform and opening up, when foreign powers were still eyeing China, and at that time, China urgently needed to cooperate with Russia for development.
Of course, this is not the most important reason for the signing of this agreement, the most fundamental reason is that Tsarist Russia has occupied the Tangnu-Ulianghai for nearly 100 years, and this area has basically been completely Russified.
More than 90% of the locals living in this land are basically Russians, and they also consider themselves Russians in their bones.
After inspecting the actual situation of this land, China believes that if it still forcibly intervenes and directly recovers this land, it is very likely that some rebellious problems will arise.
Not only that, the land of Tangnu Ulianghai and our country has been completely separated by Outer Mongolia.
Outer Mongolia has not been recovered so far, and it is very difficult to directly cross Outer Mongolia and recover the Tangnu Ulianghai.
At present, it is indeed unrealistic to want to recover this land in a short period of time. However, whether in the past or at present, China's attitude has always been to safeguard China's basic territorial sovereignty.
This piece of territory that originally belonged to China will never be given up in the future. Moreover, when China signed the agreement that year, it also took into account the issue of future recovery.
According to the current legal considerations, there is a legal basis for China to want to recover this piece of land. In other words, if there is a suitable time in the future, my country will still choose to recover this piece of land.
Of course, before recovering this piece of land, it is necessary to solve the problem of Outer Mongolia first. In the chaotic years of the past, the land lost by our country will one day be regained.
Consolidating the country's basic sovereignty and territory has always been a basic principle that China adheres to. The recognition of the Tangnu-Ulianghai as belonging to Russia is not China's intention to give up this territory, but the result of comprehensive consideration under the international situation at that time.
In recent years, China has been developing continuously at the economic, political and political levels. Today's China is no longer the China of 1994, and it will only become stronger and stronger in the future.
The land that was lost during the years of chaos will one day be regained when China becomes stronger, and China will never give up these sovereignty rights.
