The Study Of ROC Government’s Project To The Undecided Boundary Of China And Soviet Union

In 1942,Sheng Shicai turned his back on the Soviet Union and turned to the ROC Government,which triggered changes in the geopolitical pattern of Central Asia.In order to revenge,Since that,small-scale harassment of the Sino-Soviet border area in Xin Jiang province has continued to occur.In order to ensure the national defense security of the western region during the war,the ROC government began to work on resolving the border issues in the northwest.However,the Xinjiang section of the two countries has a boundary line of more than 3,000 kilometers.Since the two sides signed a series of unequal treaties with "international law significance" to delineate the official national boundary since the end of the Qing Dynasty,there have been no surveys.As Russia and the Soviet Union have been eroding step by step over the years,the actual situation of the border between China and the Soviet Union in many places has changed from the late Qing Dynasty.Therefore,the ROC government,which took over the Xinjiang region from the Sheng department,had no way of knowing the situation in many border areas,Often due to the lack of accurate border map and other effective evidence as the basis for negotiations between the two sides,so it was often at a disadvantage in the early border negotiations with the Soviet side.After a preliminary study of the "series of problems" commonly existing in some border areas of the Xinjiang section of the Sino Soviet Union,The ROC Government began to take the lead in some representative "typical areas",as an example to thoroughly solve the Sino Soviet Xinjiang section(western section)and other disputed areas such as the border between the northern and northeastern sections of the two sides after the war.According to the early research of the Ministry of foreign affairs,compared with other disputed areas along the Sino Soviet Xinjiang border,the Pamir section lasted the longest and involved the most complex international relations.From the perspective of international law,the private division between Britain and Russia at the end of the 19 th century was illegal because China refused to recognize it all the time.In the view of the ROC Government,on the one hand,there was no clear treaty,which led to the formal change of sovereignty;on the other hand,there was a certain hope of recovery due to the improvement of China’s international status in the 1940 s.Therefore,the case gradually came into the sight of the ROC Government at that time.From 1943 to 1948,the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant departments conducted protracted consultations on the Pamir issue of undefined boundaries,and formulated some practical solutions.As far as the process is concerned,it can be observed that although the ROC Government did not want to fight for the issues involving territorial sovereignty,apart from the huge gap in national power between China and the Soviet Union,the continuous domestic military conflicts and Xinjiang local governance issues The ROC Government’s decision-making on the issue of the border is always affected all the time.In the entanglement of regaining lost land,preserving the existing land,and stabilizing internal affairs,the ROC Government’s position and attitude towards regaining Pamir’s land are also constantly changing.
