Tenth year of Zhuang Gong: Strategic mistakes made North Korea?
Husband war, courage also. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. This proverb from "Zuo Chuan: Ten Years of Zhuang Gong" has found a deep resonance in the historical disputes between China and North Korea. The Yalu River in northeastern China is embarrassing because of the missteps of the two islands. Across history, we find that this border dispute has long been rooted in the strife of thousands of years ago.
Lost access to the sea: the vicissitudes of the Yalu River.
In Northeast China, the Heilongjiang, Liao, Tumen and Yalu rivers are known as the four major rivers. However, since the beginning of the Russian invasion of China, the Heilongjiang and Tumen rivers have lost their access to the sea, and the Liao River is inaccessible due to its inland location. The Yalu River became the only hope for the northeast to be navigated, but in a short time it became an inland river in North Korea.
The dividing line of history: the dispute on the banks of the Yalu River.
The historical dividing line between North Korea and China was once treacherous near the Yalu River. During the Tang Dynasty, the Taedong River was the dividing line between China and Silla, and in the Liaojin period, Joseon pushed the dividing line to the Yalu River. However, during the Ming Dynasty, relations between the two countries were harmonious, and the border division changed. However, when scholars delved into the detailed estuary of the Yalu River, they found that it had been largely divided into North Korea, which raised many questions.
Border strife: The mystery of the "disappearance" of the Yalu River.
During the Ming Dynasty, China and Korea sent envoys to redefine the border line, dividing the Tianchi area of Changbai Mountain into the dividing line between the two countries. However, North Korea insisted that Cheonchi belonged to its northern region, sparking divisions. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the demarcation line was again drawn, with Shiyishui in the central part as the boundary, but Korea was not satisfied, and the negotiations ended in failure. After the Japanese occupation of Korea, the border line between China and North Korea was determined to be Shiyisu, but after the end of World War II, Korea renewed its request to renegotiate the border line.
Redrawing the line: The China-North Korea dispute is back on the rise.
In 1945, Korea regained its independence, did not recognize the demarcation treaty signed between China and Japan, and claimed that the Yanbian area of Jilin should belong to North Korea. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China and North Korea negotiated again, and finally took the red clay landscape as the boundary, and North Korea obtained 12 million square kilometers of land, and at the same time triggered the issue of two islands at the mouth of the Yalu River. Decades later, the growth of the two islands led to the compression of the western channel of the Yalu River, and North Korea crossed the Yalu River to earn a huge amount of sand from China every year, which became a huge loss for China.
The Siege of the Yalu River: The Serious Consequences of the Loss of the Two Islands.
Today, China only has the right of way for the Yalu River, but has lost the right to manage it. It was a serious strategic mistake to cede the two most important islands of the Yalu River to North Korea. In the face of the territorial issue, we should persist in not giving an inch and protect China's territory. Any wrong decision could come at a huge cost and be extremely detrimental to China's development.
River Pain: China's Border Crisis.
This long-standing border dispute between China and North Korea has become a major border crisis for China because of the mistake of two islands on the Yalu River. Having lost the right to manage the Yalu River, China suffered serious losses in navigation and island management. This lesson reminds us that when faced with territorial issues, we must not compromise lightly in order to safeguard the long-term interests of the country.
China's Lost River Rights: A Century-Old Dispute over Two Islands on the Yalu River sheds light on the border dispute between China and North Korea over the Yalu River, and its grave consequences due to historical missteps. This is a thought-provoking article that warns of China's strategic mistakes in dealing with territorial issues, and also provokes me to think about national border management and territorial protection.
First of all, through historical retrospection, the article clearly presents the confrontation between China and North Korea on the border issue of the Yalu River. After the Tang, Liao, Ming, Qing and other dynasties, the border line between the two countries was repeatedly adjusted, and the issue of the two islands on the Yalu River became the focus of this border dispute. In particular, during the negotiations in 1962, in order to maintain internal social stability, China made the greatest concessions to North Korea, resulting in the transfer of two islands on the Yalu River to North Korea. This historical choice is deeply regrettable to me, and it also raises questions about the strategic considerations of the state in territorial negotiations.
Second, the article highlights the serious consequences of losing the right to manage the Yalu River. Due to the missteps of these two islands, the navigation of the Yalu River and the management of the islands have brought huge losses, which not only affect the economic development of the region, but also benefit North Korea in the competition for resources, posing a major threat to China. This is deeply deplorable, but it also reminds me that States must be very careful in the administration of their territories and must not make compromises lightly so as not to pay a heavy price in the future.
The final title of the article, "River Pain: China's Border Crisis," cleverly points to the theme of the article and is thought-provoking. In today's increasingly globalized and international competition, the protection of national territory is particularly important. As a Chinese citizen, I deeply feel that territorial integrity is of paramount importance to everyone. This article not only raised my attention to the issue of state borders while providing an overview of history, but also made me better understand the urgency of territorial protection.
Overall, the article provides a thought-provoking picture of the historical origins of the Sino-North Korean border dispute and the serious consequences of the loss of management of the Yalu River. On the road of national development, it is necessary to treat the territorial issue more cautiously in order to ensure the strategic interests of national development and long-term development.
