The discovery had been made in 1960 in the Kwangsi Province of South West China; the plants were growing under forest in a valley in the Yungning County, at an altitude of 75-120 metres.

This places it close to the Vietnam Border, within the Tropics, and without enough altitude to effect much climate modification.

“I have met old people who held my hands and told me tearfully that they preferred to die early,” wrote a township Party secretary, Li Changping, “and I have seen the sad sight of children kneeling before me saying they want to attend school.” In Li’s Qipan, also in Jianli County, society is failing because of the decline of agriculture. Li wrote a direct plea to Zhu Rongji about conditions in his area. That was futile because the well-intentioned Zhu has little power in Qipan and most other places in the countryside.

In his letter, Mr Li revealed the bleak situation in Qipan township. Almost all the young people in the township had left to find work in cities and 65 per cent of the farmland had been left idle. A family of five paid at least 350 yuan (HK$329) a year for each mu (0.07 of a hectare) of farmland they looked after, and 85 per cent of farmers were losing money.

Before 1949, Hui proclivity for growing cash crops in this area was noted by Fan Changjiang. He observed that the opium produced by Han and Hui peasants in the Yanghe area was of a very high quality, but the Han could not make much of a profit from it: They smoked too much of it themselves and were too weak to gain financially from it.

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.

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 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.

Chinese Tartary

For eccentric charm and historic patina few purchasable antiques rival early maps. Even if you cannot tell Mercator's projection from anyone else's, you can appreciate these oddly distorted but touchingly sincere portraits of the earth as viewed from another age. Once-imagined islands, extinct peoples and lost cities from the New World to Chinese Tartary reappear in vividly colored engravings, embellished with trumpeting cherubs and snorting sea monsters.

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.
