Is kamchatka peninsula Russian or China's territory?

Kamchatka peninsula is located in Northeast Asia and belongs to North Asia. With an area of 372,300 square kilometers, it is the tenth largest peninsula in the world and the largest peninsula in Russia.

This is a cold, complex and changeable area with many volcanoes and earthquakes.

Historically, the residents here have been very scarce. Until the arrival of Russian immigrants in modern times, the population has grown to more than 300,000 now.

In ancient times, the aborigines here were Kamchatka, Kryak and Chukchi of Chukchi-Kamchatka language family in ancient Siberia, and some Ainu people came from southwest islands. Kamchatka peninsula is the only place in the Asian continent where Ainu people live.

These ethnic groups are still different from the Tungusic people in the west. These ethnic groups do not attach great importance to Shamanism, which is very popular among Tunguses.

China's historical records call it a ghost country.

Zi Zhi Tong Jian Volume 195:

Emperor Taizong's civil and military sage Da Guangxiao spent fourteen years in Zhengguan (Gengzi, AD 640).

......

Xin Chou, the ghost country sent messengers to pay tribute. It is 15,000 miles away from the capital, near Beihai and the south, but I have never been to China. In the world, his messenger Shezhi is a captain.

That is, in the Tang Dynasty, Shezhi, a ghost envoy who came to pay tribute, was awarded the title of riding a captain. This is the most reliable kamchatka peninsula, which records China's sphere of influence. Japanese historical researchers believe that the ghost country is more likely to be a country in kamchatka peninsula than Sakhalin Island, and the Ainu people in kamchatka peninsula paid tribute to the Tang government.

Later generations did not clearly record that kamchatka peninsula was the territory of China. In Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Kuwu, Kuyi and Guwei mostly referred to Sakhalin Island.

Sakhalin Island is more than 65,438+0,400 kilometers away from kamchatka peninsula, separated by the Sea of Okhotsk. Besides Ainu people, there are some differences between the aborigines in the two places. Sakhalin Island is obviously similar to Tunguska people, while kamchatka peninsula is quite different, and Kamchatka people are even close to Inuit people in polar regions.

The Qing Dynasty did not control kamchatka peninsula. Manchu is the most important ethnic group in Tunguska, and its national cultural tradition has an important influence in East Asia and North Asia, but its influence in Chukchi-kamchatka peninsula is far less than that in Heilongjiang Valley and Sakhalin Island. The national culture of riding reindeer is popular in the northernmost indigenous people in Europe and Asia, which is different from the riding and shooting culture of Manchu. Linguistically speaking, Manchu can communicate with the indigenous peoples except Ainu people in Heilongjiang River Basin and Sakhalin Island and understand the meaning of the language. But it can't communicate directly with kamchatka peninsula at all.

In the history of kamchatka peninsula, paying tribute to China was short-lived and had no actual control. 1689 when the treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu was signed, in order to further enter the Heilongjiang river basin in the future, Russian plenipotentiary Golovin had to take a piece of land south of Udi River as an area to be discussed, thus blocking China from entering the Bering Strait along the coastline of Okhotsk, and kamchatka peninsula, which is more than 1000 kilometers east, had nothing to do with China.

The Qing Dynasty did not control kamchatka peninsula and Kuril Islands, and its control over Sakhalin Island was very weak, which led to the actual loss of Sakhalin Island at the end of18th century, half a century earlier than the Opium War of 1840.
