And as a port, it doesn't really give China any strategic advantage because that area is surrounded by a string of islands owned by Russia and Japan, so it would still not be too difficult to cut off China's trade route there if Russia and Japan teamed together to try to blockade that port. Vladivostok has more value to Russia because it is the furthest south port in Russia's East, minimizing ice in the winter season (something Russia has been preoccupied with throughout its history).
Vladivostok is not really so important of a city, but is one of Russia's two biggest cities in its Far East region. And without Vladivostok, Russia's Far East would be cut off from direct trade with Japan (which is decreasing in economic importance).
Vladivostok is actually further South in latitude than Odessa but despite this fact is much colder. Odessa was considered the warmest of the Soviet Union's major cities, almost a beach resort city. (In fact actually Vladivostok is a bit further South than the entire Crimea)
3 main reasons
1) the Japanese sea
2) Karafuto´s Oil and Gas o
3) Vladivostok is just fist step, Baikal , the entire outer Manchuria will follow ...commie Han-China’s claims to Moscow’s Far East (Outer Manchuria) are fact-based and indisputable. The thoughts of Chinese imperialists are focused on a particular Siberian city—one famous for its sea cucumbers, a popular Chinese delicacy.
with friends like these who needs enemies? China take advantage of Moscow empire 's weakened position. Believe nothing else! Its not personal. Its strictly business....
THERE is the only one "Unequal Treaty" Which remains in force today, Which one ? and What does it mean for Moscow ?)
Outer Manchuria, refers to a region of Moscow empire [1] in Northeast Asia that historically formed part of Manchuria, and now constitutes the southern part of the Moscow empire Far East. Manchuria, which more normatively refers to Northeast China, originally included areas in present-day Moscow Manchuria. Control of areas within the region was ceded to the Moscow Empire by the Qing China during the Amur Annexation in the 1858 Treaty of Aigun and 1860 Treaty of Peking,[4] with the term 'Moscow Manchuria' arising after the Moscow annexation.
China has ALREADY declared part of Moscow empire as its territory on new official maps China's state-owned Standard Map Service has presented a set of geographic maps for 2023, on which for the first time part of Moscow's territory is indicated as part of China. It is about the Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island on the Amur River.
Moscow governor of the "Amur " colony spoke Chinese (new-old owner of this region) , to the people of neighboring China´s empire in Chinese.
