Hui'an

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 惠安 (Huì'ān).

When I first watched The Twin Bracelets in 1993 in the United States, I was skeptical of its being marketed as a lesbian film. After several years of fieldwork in eastern Hui’an County, a coastal region of southeast China, where the story ostensibly takes place, I became more convinced that the film was being misread in the United States, in large part due to the tendency to subsume same-sex intimacy under sexual identity.

Russian Manchuria

On Saturday, the 4th of August, we steamed to the outer harbour of Olga Bay, after spending four days under sail on our passage from Nakhodka Harbour, a distance of about 120 miles.
This is another of the many beautiful harbours that fringe the coast of Russian Manchuria. It is formed of an outer and inner, or as it is called the “careening” harbour, within which lies the settlement.

1867 [1867 June 24], W. V. Lloyd, “Notes on the Russian Harbours on the Coast of Manchuria.”, in The Journal of the Royal Geographic Society of London, volume 37, London: John Murray, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 229:

In 1866, Her Majesty’s ship Scylla, Captain Courtenay, left Nagasaki, Japan, on the 20th of July, with orders to visit the different Russian settlements on the coast of Manchuria, and we are indebted to the Rev. W. V. Lloyd for an excellent account of the trip, given in the thirty-seventh volume of the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society—an account which is further illustrated by a map of Russian Manchuria.

1868 October, “The Russians in Manchuria”, in New Monthly Magazine, volume CXLIII, number DLXXVIV, page 377:

SAGHALIN, or SAKHALIN, is the name improperly given to a large elongated island in the North Pacific, lying between 45° 57' and 54° 24' N. lat. and 141° 30' and 144° 50' E. long., off the coast of Russian Manchuria. Its proper name is Karaftu, or Karafuto.

1886, “SAGHALIN, or SAKHALIN”, in The Encyclopædia Britannica, 9th edition, volume XXI, New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, page 147, column 1:

Vladivostock, the most southern port of Russian Manchuria, is icebound for six months out of every twelve, and hence the absorbing desire of the authorities to advance so far southward as to secure a good and open harbour.

1889 January, “The Defensive Policy of China”, in Edinburgh Review or Critical Review, number CCCXLV, →OCLC, page 180:

THE chief object of my visit to Russian Manchuria was to settle for myself by personal investigation the vexed question of the condition of those Koreans who have found shelter under the Russian flag, a number estimated in Seoul at 20,000.[…]
When China ceded to Russia in 1860 the region which we call Russian Manchuria, she probably did so in ignorance of its vast agricultural capacities and mineral wealth.[…]
Grass, timber, water, coal, minerals, a soil as rich as the prairies of Illinois, and a climate not only favorable to agriculture but to human health, all await the settler, and the broad, unoccupied, and fertile lands which Russian Manchuria offers are clamoring for inhabitants.

1898, Isabella Bird Bishop, Korea and Her Neighbors, Yonsei University Press, published 1970, →OCLC, pages 223, 242-243:

MANCHURIA, man-cho͞oʹre-a (the land of the Manchus). The northeastern part of the Chinese Empire, situated east of Mongolia and the Argun River (which formerly traversed Manchurian territory), south of the Amur River (which separates it from Siberia), and west of the Usuri, which separates it from Primorsk (Maritime Province) or Russian Manchuria (a Chinese possession until 1860).

1906, “Manchuria”, in The New International Encyclopaedia, volume XII, New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, page 782, column 1:

Originally speaking, the Heilungkiang Valley, amongst other Russian possessions in the Far East, had been within Manchurian domain until the middle of the nineteenth century, when it was absorbed by Russia. For us, therefore, it is difficult to regard all Manchuria now within the territory of new Manchukuo and Russian Manchuria of today separately.
Now that the Manchukuo State has become absolutely independent and placed under Japanese protection, so to speak, the destiny of Russian possessions in the Far East may be easily imagined.

1933, The Japan Magazine, volume 23, →OCLC, page 68, column 1:

The geographical distribution of the tiger once spanned some six thousand miles of Asia from Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey and the Caspian Sea to the Sea of Okhotsk in Russian Manchuria.[…]
The Manchurian tiger exists in small numbers in the Kirin Hills of eastern Manchuria. Although tigers were once common in neighboring Russian Manchuria from the vicinity of Lake Baikal and the Yablonovy Mountains to the Sea of Japan and the Island of Sakhalin in the Sea of Okhotsk, only an estimated 80 to 90 animals still survive in several isolated areas (Abramov, 1962; Anon., 1965a), primarily along some of the eastern tributaries of the Ussuri River and in the Sikhote-Alin chain of hills (Novikov, 1962).

1989 March, Peter Albano, chapter 1, in Quest of the Seventh Carrier (Fiction), Zebra Books, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 29:

During the winters of 1939 and 1940, he logged close to a thousand miles crisscrossing the Sikhote-Alin range as he tracked tigers through blizzards and paralyzing cold, sleeping rough, and feeding himself from tiger kills. His findings were alarming: along with two forest guards who helped him with tracking, estimates, and interviews with hunters across Primorye, Kaplanov concluded that no more than thirty Amur tigers remained in Russian Manchuria. In the Bikin valley, he found no tigers at all. With barely a dozen breeding females left in Russia, the subspecies now known as Panthera gris altaica was a handful of bullets and a few hard winters away from extinction.

2010, John Vaillant, “Markov”, in The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival, Vintage Books, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 98–99:

At its extreme, this type of narrative might justify claims coextensive with the farthest expansion of the Qing/Ch'ing era (1644 through 1911, in its totality). That could in theory include what is now Mongolia and part of Russian Manchuria although to date no Chinese leaders have suggested this as a legitimate objective. Indeed, China's recent history of resolving border disputes with Russia, Kazakhstan, and Vietnam suggests that China values amicable relations with its neighbors over preserving maximalist territorial gains.

2014, James Steinberg, Michael E. O'Hanlon, “The Determinants of Chinese Strategy”, in Strategic Reassurance and Resolve: U.S.-China Relations in the Twenty-First Century, Princeton University Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 36–37:

From the Qing era on, China had other territorial holdings on the Eurasian mainland of even more direct relevance to the subject at hand. They included what is now Mongolia and part of Russian Manchuria, and were lost to Russia over the period of roughly 1860 to 1920. No Chinese leaders have suggested so far that reclaiming these lands could be a legitimate objective of the state’s foreign policy.

The Convention of Peking, one of several unequal treaties, moreover assigned the parts in the East of the Ussuri River (Wusulijiang) to Russia. Outer Manchuria, also called Russian Manchuria was never claimed to be part of a Chinese nation-state. Today it belongs to the Russian Federation, is not longer referred to as Outer Manchuria, and is considered to be part of Siberia. Consquently, the name Manchuria refers only to Inner Manchuria today. In the following, I will refer to Inner Manchuria as Manchuria.

2017, Julia C. Schneider, “The New Setting: Political Thinking after 1912”, in Nation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History,, →ISBN, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 277:

The Far Eastern Federal District includes the Arctic region and Pacific Ocean coastline. Despite its size, its population is only 6 million and 4.5 million live in Russian Manchuria along the Chinese border. If Manchuria were once again united, it would become an^([sic]) powerhouse, linking the region’s untapped resource potential with China’s know-how, manpower, expertise, and capital. It would also provide China with fresh water, hydroelectric potential, and a major Pacific Ocean port, Vladivostok.

The rein-deer, which in Scandinavia can scarcely exist to the south of the sixty-fifth parallel, descends, in consequence of the greater coldness of the climate, to the fiftieth degree, in Chinese Tartary, and often roves into a country of more southern latitude than any part of England.

Heixiazi

hāʹshyäʹdzûʹ

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 黑瞎子島 /黑瞎子岛 (Hēixiāzǐ Dǎo).

The major obstacle to a border settlement is the status of Heixiazi, a 330-square kilometer island at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers. The island is claimed by the Chinese but controlled by the USSR. Because Heixiazi overlooks Khabarovsk as well as the point where the Trans-Siberian Railway crosses the Amur River, the Soviets are reluctant to give it up.

This resurgence in the two nations’ bilateral trade caused Russian President Medvedev in 2011 to project that Sino-Russian trade could reach US$100 billion in only three to five years! (Xinhua News Agency 2011d). It has also allowed both countries to push past their previous differences in search of profit, such as China and Russia’s recent announcement of a joint venture to co-develop the border island of Heixiazi into a tourist resort (World News Connection 2011a).

Yinlong

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 銀龍 /银龙.

Tarabarov Island is not far from Khabarovsk, but the access to it seems very limited because Bol’shoi Ussuriskii Island is located between the city and Tarabarov. (Seen from Russian side of the Amur, Nizhnespasskie, a small village in the Jewish Autonomous Region, Tarabarov is a no man land, which is geographically closer to the China side.) Tarabarov is surrounded more by Chinese territory than Russian territory. Khabarovsk is to Bol’shoi Ussuriskii what Fuyuan, the nearest Chinese city on the Amur, is to Tarabarov.

The move-in area is one of the last, largely unsettled areas of Qinghai suitable for irrigated agriculture. The economic benefits touted by the WB for the project were largely undisputed. Crop yields near the move-in area were already three to four times higher than those in the move-out area, and the WB estimated that, in a few years, settlers would be able to triple or quadruple their incomes and have better health care and educational facilities than they had in eastern Qinghai.⁵¹⁸ While there were no schools for many settler group children in eastern Qinghai,⁵¹⁹ ten schools that would reflect the ethnic and language background of students were to be built for ethnic minority transmigrants.⁵²⁰ Because the settlers were to live in twenty-four compact villages in a small part of the county, they would have left the rest of it undisturbed.⁵²¹ Tibetans were to live in a separate area, near villages inhabited by fellow Buddhist ethnic Tu people.⁵²² The projected increase in economic activity in the county would likely provide some opportunities for those already living there. As pointed out by the Dalai Lama’s nephew, who lives in his uncle’s hometown in Ping’an County (part of the move-out area), those remaining in the move-out area would also benefit from an increase in available land there and from less strain on resources.⁵²³
