After the Russian invasion of Vladivostok, where did the local China people go?

Modern China was forced to open to the outside world because it was far behind the advanced countries in political system, military affairs, science and technology, and signed many unequal treaties, and its national sovereignty was gradually betrayed by those in power.

After seeing the weak compromise of the Qing government, western powers began to invade China, such as Vladivostok. However, it is now called Vladivostok, a foreign and embarrassing name.

It means "Occupy the East", which shows the expansion ambition of the Russian empire and its contempt for the Qing government.

After the Second Opium War, the Russian Empire signed an unequal treaty with the Qing government, digging the vast area east of the Wusuli River from Chinese territory to its own territory.

Vladivostok is one of them. This once China city has also become a military center and an important city and port of the Russian Empire in the Far East. The city was zoned away, but what happened to China people living in Vladivostok?

First, China people become overseas Chinese, and Russia is "Russianized".

With the formal signing of the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty between the Qing government and the Russian government, the territory including Vladivostok is no longer owned by the state. Although it was an unequal treaty, it was enough to maintain the dominant position of the Qing government. Unfortunately, China people whose land was cut off like Vladivostok became overseas Chinese, or China people living in foreign countries.

For the Russian government, they don't want China people to appear in new colonies, especially Vladivostok.

Vladivostok is an important city. Although there are many foreigners living there, China people account for the vast majority. They have mastered the local economic lifeline and become a thorn in the side of the Russian government. In fact, the consistent colonial policy of the Russian Empire is to move a large number of aborigines into the colonies while driving them away.

For Vladivostok, the Russian government decided to "russize" it locally. After receiving Vladivostok, blond Russians moved from China, breaking the local population structure. At the same time of russianization, we should "de-China" and drive away and slaughter the aborigines in China.

Second, Russia savagely went to China and moved into Russia in large numbers.

The Russian Empire took Vladivostok as a military stronghold and sent troops to station. So hundreds of thousands of Cossack cavalry based on family tribes became the new owners of Vladivostok.

The Russian government settled in Vladivostok, and the Russians also settled in Vladivostok, so the local China people became the primary elimination targets. In fact, according to the Russian government, the indigenous people of China in Vladivostok are all non-China people and must be eliminated.

Under the oppression of the Russian government, the overseas Chinese in Vladivostok have been exploited and suffered heavy losses in life and property. Those who have the ability to emigrate or return to the motherland certainly choose to leave, but those who cannot leave can only endure persecution and exploitation by the Russian government.

After that, China people in Vladivostok began to leave their hometown, and the number of China people gradually decreased. For the overseas Chinese who stayed behind, their life became more and more difficult, and some wealthy Chinese businessmen began to tighten their belts. It is worth mentioning that despite the discrimination and oppression of overseas Chinese in Vladivostok, Chinese businessmen are still the local economic subject, which is determined by the long-standing local economy, and even the Russian government can hardly change and destroy it.

Third, China people were driven away by force, and their native land became a foreign land.

After Vladivostok was cut off, the Qing government has been protecting overseas Chinese through local negotiation business committees.

With the efforts of the Qing government, although the protection was very limited, it also played a certain role. However, after the Qing government entered the twentieth century, its rule has been crumbling. The Russian government originally wanted to drive all the China people out of Vladivostok as soon as possible, so the political pressure from the Qing government decreased, and they also showed the most ferocious and ugly faces of the imperialist aggressors.

19 1 1 year, the Russian government publicly arrested overseas Chinese in Vladivostok, and after the arrest, they concentrated in a prison with a bad environment. The overseas Chinese in Vladivostok who were arrested in prison were hungry and naked, and they didn't even know why they were arrested.

In fact, as long as they are from China, they will be arrested, for no other reason. Since then, a large number of overseas Chinese in Vladivostok have fled, and the proportion of overseas Chinese in Vladivostok has dropped seriously, and the goal of the Russian government has been realized step by step.

After the combination of rough Russianization and brutal de-China, Vladivostok's main ethnic group became Russian, and China people became local minorities. Of course, the Russian government has not driven away the remaining overseas Chinese, because the local economic structure determines that Chinese businessmen and overseas Chinese must participate in order to serve Russian industry. In this way, just a few decades later, Vladivostok, once the homeland of China people, became a foreign land of China people.

With the changes of the times, the name Vladivostok has become the dust of history and has been replaced by the name Vladivostok. After the demise of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union attached great importance to Vladivostok and further strengthened its rule. However, the Soviet government did not discriminate against the local Chinese like the Russian government, thus easing the local ethnic contradictions.
