Chinese media: Sad that Sakhalin is Russian

9
The theme of regret that part of the former Chinese territories was transferred to Russia during the historical process is quite common in the Chinese media.



The material of the publication Sohu, whose journalist told why Beijing regrets the loss of Sakhalin, which, until the middle of the XIX century, was in the orbit of Chinese influence, was no exception.

The main reason for the Chinese regret is the natural resources that the island has: oil fields explored on Sakhalin, according to Chinese estimates, contain seven million tons of “black gold” and can bring Russia $ 500 billion.

In his article, the journalist tells the story of the discovery by the Russian archaeologists of the ancient Chinese artifact - a stone stele on which the verses of Qianlong, the sixth emperor of the Qing dynasty, who ruled in the XVIII century, were carved.

Poems of the Chinese emperor tell about his successes and that no one can compare with him. The Chinese journalist finds a certain irony in the fact that the emperor’s poems were found on land that later became Russian.

In conclusion, it should be noted that while expressing regret that the former territories of the Celestial Empire became Russian, Chinese journalists acknowledge their legal transition to Russia and refrain from revenge calls.

    The main reason is natural wealth. So this applies not only to Russia, but to any former empire, for example, Britain. Now the natural wealth of Canada, the USA, Australia and India, belongs to these countries, and not to Britain, as before.
    Silly "regrets" of the Chinese media, especially since the lion's share of Russian natural resources, at the behest of the Kremlin, goes to the same China and the nouveau riche of the Russian Federation.

    Hmm ... on MODERN school maps - China's "friend of Russia" ... ALL the territory of the Far East, most of Siberia and Sakhalin, is painted in the color of the territory of China .....

        Moreover ... I was born and raised on Sakhalin, and my father in 1945 ... liberated China and fought exactly in the place where I was ... Moreover, they showed me my name on the list of "Harbin liberators". .. and treated with respect.
        BUT! Siberia with Lake Baikal, everything to the East with Sakhalin, to the West to Kazakhstan and its part - "the temporarily lost territory of the Podnebesnaya".

          Not, of course, everyone can draw a map as they wish. Even if China, as such, did not exist. History can be made up. But that’s what China’s creeping intervention is for sure. From the Ussuri Territory they were picked with great difficulty. But the Mongols could not. First they leased part of the territory to them. They came in large numbers, came in large numbers, bred more than one generation. They invested in infrastructure. In the industry. The lease has come to an end, and there is already nobody to drive out. They are owners of a lot of what. And the generation of mixed marriages has changed. So part of Mongolia became China forever. And I am very surprised when our politicians, officials directly forcefully invite to Russia. They offer them sponsorship, then lands for 50 - 100 years. We are completely crazy. But Arseniev also wrote, it is better to let wormwood grow than to give it to the Chinese. Spoil the earth. The experience under tsarist Russia was already sad.

    We’ll be sad together with our Chinese brothers (forever) about Alaska, Florida and other Russian territories. So that they were not bored.
