In recent years, a movement among sections of Chinese nationalists has emerged, asking that Russia return Vladivostok to China. These claims have been intensified by Putin's interview, in which he contrasted the alleged historical foundation of the Russian state, which he said dated back to the 9th century, with the "invention" of Ukraine in the 20th century.
"According to history, Russia should return us Vladivostok and vast territory stolen 100-something years ago," Robert Wu, a social media user from China, said on X, formerly Twitter...
Another Chinese nationalist on Weibo pointed out that Russia has territories that imperial Chinese dynasties had previously controlled.
"Going further afield, today's Mongolia and Russian Siberia were both territories of China in the Tang Dynasty with its capital in Xi'an," wrote a Weibo user. The Tang Dynasty dates back to the 7th century...
Chinese state media has largely kept silent on the issue of Vladivostok as Beijing considers the Kremlin's support a bulwark against U.S. influence in international affairs...

And Kaliningrad has to be returned to Germany, since it was "historically part of Germany" ...
The Russians have no illusions about China and China try to take part of Siberia there will be a nuclear war.
Curious when the Chinese will wake up to the fact that all they want in resources is just north of them
All this historical claims stuff can always be used against anyone. For example, the whole of Europe should go back to cloned Neanderthals.
If the News is Weak, it’s NewsWeak!
Former president of Mongolia trolls Putin
Mongol Tsakhia ELBEGDORJ - After Putin’s talk. I found Mongolian historic map. Don’t worry. We are a peaceful and free nation🌏
Good to see China making noise about their lands.
May China get all of their ancient lands back from Russia.
May it be so!
Just another reason why it was SOOOO stupid of neocons and DC marxists to drive Russia and China together into an anti-American alliance
Presidents since Nixon successfully played China and Russia against each other. Obama destroyed that.
Idiot neocons and zeepers can’t see beyond the end of their noses.
“Idiot neocons and zeepers can’t see beyond the end of their noses.”
China wants to take Taiwan. The last thing they are going to do is open a two front war with their natural resources supplier.
That’s not an accurate map.
The Mongols took much of Asia including huge chunks of northern China and into the Middle East.
They tried going into Africa but were defeated by the Egyptians.
So far today we have Newsweak and the DM. All we need is something from the Guardian and we’ll have the daily Zeeper’s Troika. Can’t go a day without knowing what the CIA/MI6 want us to believe.
Shhhh.... Please nobody mention that native Americans migrated here from China through Alaska.
Hell... are the Eskimos Chinese too???
Typical Russian propaganda
“anything that makes Russia look bad must be untrue”
lol, the paranoia never stops with you people
Putin’s idea of what is “rightfully” “Russian” can be used in the reverse by China and Japan, if not also others.
I think the Russians don’t fight well in Ukraine because they don’t believe dying while trying to steal someone else’s real estate is something most of “the boys” want to do.
But, a little “history” reminder is that Russian soldiers fought the Germans like lions in WWII and died horrible deaths by the tens of thousands.
If the little 5’ Chinee’s start coming across the border trying to take “the Motherland” away from Russia, I expect oil tanker size loads of dead chinamen coming home to their mothers.
The CIA’s recent acquisition IMHO.
Russia doesn’t play well on the road.
They still lost 100,000 just to take Berlin.
Newsweek provides the best disinformation out there.
If China has to nuke Russia in order to restore Chinese rule over Chinese territory then they will.
Better Russia should give these lands back to China instead of risking WW3 over them! Or maybe they could negotiate over how much land China will take for now. Oh, and I imagine China will want to denazify these areas. That’d be sensible.
And Russia wants back Alaska.
So what.
Vladivostok was sold to Russia by a bad chinese ruler a very long time ago
Just as russia sold us Alaska and Napoleon sold us The Lousiana Purchase.
