evidence: Sergey Radchenko, speaking for China's government stated, "China fully recognizes Russia's sovereignty over these territories [referring to the Russian Far East]." He also called Taiwan's President Lai, "seriously misguided" for attempting to suggest to China to take back her "lost territories," rather than invade Taiwan.[18] The next day, Sept. 3, 2024, TASS, the Russian state-run news agency issued an article entitled "Russia, China officially confirm renunciation of territorial claims, diplomat says." The article purported to cite Maria Zakharova, the spokeperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry. What Zakharova actually said was quite telling. She said, "We are confident that our friends in Beijing share the same position." This statement acknowledges some doubt as she was "confident," but not completely sure. Zakharova also threw in some disparaging comments about Lai (referring to him as a "fringe politician").[19] [...] See also [edit]- Chinese Tartary - Karakhan Manifesto - 1991 Sino–Russian Border Agreement - Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island - Zhenbao Island - Sixty-Four Villages East of the River - 1900 Amur anti-Chinese pogroms - Amur Annexation - Outer Mongolia - 1972年俄罗斯远东地区地名变更 (1972 Russian Far East Place Name Changes) Notes [edit]- ^ Now Priamurye usually refers to a narrower region of Amur Oblast and parts of Khabarovsk Krai.
