Vladivostok and Buri are the eternal pain in the hearts of Chinese people all over the world, these two cities were originally a member of the Chinese family, but due to the corruption and incompetence of the Manchurian government and the insatiable greed of the Russians, these territories could not go back to the embrace of the original owner, but we will never forget them.
In May 2003, the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping issued a relevant document, in which Chapter 3, Article 17 clearly stipulates that the following place names in Russia must be labeled with the name of China,
Vladivostok labeled Vladivostok
Ussurisk labeled Twin Cities
Khabarovsk labeled Bury
Bragoveshchinsk labeled Hailan Bubble
Sakhalin Island labeled Kuril Island
Nerchinsk labeled Nerchinsk
Nikolaevsk labeled Temple Street
Stanov Mountain Range labeled Transhistory
Looking at the map of the most familiar of these strangers, always reminding us not to forget the shame of the country, only when the motherland is strong, it will be free from bullying.
Looking at the map Vladivostok next to our Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, his Russian name Vladivostok contains the meaning of the Eastern rulers, Eastern conquerors, from the name, we can also see that the Russians got Vladivostok, that kind of complacency after the mood.
In fact, in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, in the Sea of Japan at that time, the Qing Empire has a long coastline, but with the decline of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the constant invasion of the Western powers, the day cuts the month cuts, it is really a change of color, the change of ownership of the river and mountain, the 1860 signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, the Qing Dynasty Emperor is really a child seller of the field does not hurt the main, the big pen, including Vladivostok, including the 400,000 square kilometers of land. The Chinese government has been trying to make a difference in the lives of the people of China, but it has not been able to do so.
Nowadays, Vladivostok is an extremely important city in the Far East of Russia, and is the capital of Russia's Primorsky Krai, which, in my opinion, is about the same administrative level as the capital of Heilongjiang Province, Harbin, and the Primorsky Krai, which is on the border between China, North Korea and Russia, and is the tentacle of Russia's frontiersmen in the Pacific region.
Vladivostok is an extremely important stronghold for the currently weak Russian Navy, and the port in the northeastern part of the country is currently home to the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, the Russian Navy's second-largest fleet.
When a Chinese visits Vladivostok, he or she is struck by the fact that the city is not much of a Far East metropolis, but at best a large fishing village.
The total population is currently only 600,000, a population size that would make it a county-level city in China, far too small to qualify as a provincial administrative center. That number has long been dwarfed by the 3 million people in Mudanjiang, the Chinese city that borders it.
Vladivostok's original prosperity depended on the Soviet Union's strong administrative enforcement, a policy of forced migration, and strong economic support from the central government, but all that came to an end when the Soviet Union's red empire collapsed, and Russia, which was built on the ruins of the empire, focused on the European part of the country, leaving Vladivostok alone in the Far East and being intentionally or unintentionally marginalized.
The local population returned in droves to the European part of Russia for a better life, and the city became a picture of depression, decay and coldness.
It is no coincidence that Buri, like Vladivostok, is the administrative center of Russia's Far Eastern Federal District, which was also given to Czarist Russia by the Manchu government in a stroke of a pen in the Treaty of Peking between Russia and China.
It has been Chinese territory since ancient times, and was a subordinate of the Blackwater Capital during the Tang Dynasty, a subordination that lasted until the Qing Dynasty.
Currently a very important city in the Russian Far East, Buri is Russia's number one city in the Far East, sitting on a population of one million people, and is also an important transportation hub for Russia's Far East artery, with the Siberian Railway passing through it.
As the industrial center of the Far East, this place is still quite strong, and not only that, there are several institutions of higher learning and scientific research in this modest city.
But in front of Harbin, these two former Chinese cities are younger brothers, Harbin has a population of 10 million people, as the capital of Heilongjiang Province has a strong industrial strength, the natural scenery is also good, Harbin is in the heart of Northeast Asia, the Pearl on the Eurasian Continental Bridge.
Because of the historical reasons and geographic factors, in the Harbin area can see a lot of exotic architecture, in the ice season, the cityscape is too beautiful to mention.
Harbin also has a very strong economy, and was also ranked 23rd on the list of China's top 100 cities in 2017, far from Buri and Vladivostok.
From a long-term perspective, it is even more so, with the country to increase support for the Northeast region, the full revitalization of the old industrial base in the Northeast is just around the corner, Russia due to the wrong foreign policy, will be more and more caught in the internal and external difficulties of the situation.
In this case, the entire Far East will be more withered, energy and resources will be further to Moscow and other European parts of the aggregation, with Harbin in the foreseeable future, the more better, for Vladivostok and the advantage of the Bolei will be further expanded, with difficult to look at the back to describe, by no means exaggerated.
