Although China is now friendly with Russia, and in the long course of history, the behavior of Tsarist Russia cannot be forgotten. At that time, when the Qing Dynasty was in internal and external troubles, Tsarist Russia took the opportunity to launch two wars, forcing the Qing Dynasty to sign the "Aihui Treaty" and the "Beijing Treaty", which made our country lose territory such as Vladivostok and Sakhalin.
The lost Vladivostok was subsequently signed for various reasons that it would be returned to our country in 1995, but now decades later, Vladivostok still has not returned to the embrace of the motherland. This has raised diplomatic questions between China and Russia: why is Russia unwilling to return Vladivostok? What kind of secret is hidden in this? It's time to get to know the truth behind Vladivostok.
1. The history of the plundering of Vladivostok
At the end of the 50s of the 19th century, when the Qing Dynasty was in decline, Tsarist Russia had wolf ambitions and was always eyeing China's territory. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was in a turbulent period, with internal and external troubles and constant wars. Tsarist Russia saw the opportunity and set its sights on the territory of our country, causing a huge disaster to our people.
After the defeat, the Qing Dynasty signed the "Aihui Treaty" and the "Beijing Treaty", and at the same time ceded the territory of Vladivostok and Sakhalin Island to Tsarist Russia, and since then these two areas have become colonies of Tsarist Russia.
What is infuriating is that Vladivostok, which was robbed by Tsarist Russia, was later renamed Vladivostok by it, which means "conquering the East", in order to be able to completely own this land, Tsarist Russia ** did not stop, drove out all the Chinese on the island, and immigrated a large number of people from their own country, trying to make Vladivostok completely their territory.
This practice has made the people of the world see the ambition of Tsarist Russia, and at the same time, it has become an eternal pain for the Chinese people, and let us know a deep truth, backwardness can only be beaten.
2. Why Vladivostok, which was supposed to be returned to China in 1995, has not been returned for a long time
Before the founding of New China, the Qing Dynasty signed countless unequal treaties, which became a huge shame in China's 5,000-year history. China's tough confrontation and non-implementation of various unequal treaties have demonstrated China's determination to defend the territorial integrity of the motherland, and it has naturally made a lot of interference in the issue of the ownership of Vladivostok.
The reason why rumors circulated that Vladivostok would be returned to China in 1995 was actually because in 1945, the Soviet Union had close relations with China and was in a stage of diplomatic intimacy. A secret agreement was signed between the two countries, which stated that Vladivostok would be returned to China in 1995.
The reason why the Soviet Union did this was actually to counter the strength of the United States together with China, and the Soviet Union, China, and the United States have always been in a state of dominance, and one is the only one, which will make the other two countries in crisis.
In addition, the wolf ambition of the United States has always been immortal and believes in hegemonism, so in order to safeguard its own interests, the Soviet Union decided to make friends with China, and the two countries jointly confronted the United States, so there was a commitment to return Vladivostok to China. In fact, this agreement is not public, so it has a certain degree of controversy in today's society and has become a historical mystery.
3. The reason why Vladivostok did not return to China
The fact that Vladivostok has not returned to China cannot be explained in a few words, because it involves political, historical and other factors in several countries.
From the humanistic aspect alone, after plundering Vladivostok, Tsarist Russia drove the Chinese out and sent countless natives to live there, so Vladivostok has long been Russified, both in culture and environment is very different from China, and it is very difficult to return.
The second point involves the interests of China and Russia.
China and Russia have been on good terms all these years, and the interests of the two countries involve all aspects, and it is obviously not advisable to let the relations between the two countries fall to a freezing point just because of the ownership of Vladivostok. For the sake of the overall situation at hand, China has not forced Russia to make a choice too much on the territorial issue of Vladivostok.
Conclusion
The development of the country is a long-term process, and although the Qing Dynasty signed many unequal treaties at that time and ceded many territories to countries with wolf ambitions, the rising China was no longer afraid of oppression from either side. However, Vladivostok did not return, and it still became a pain for the people. It is imperative to let territorial integrity go, but it also requires a process, and only friendly consultation and peaceful coexistence can ensure common development.
