Chapter 292: Western Siberian Special Administrative Region
Khrushchev led the Soviet political axe delegation to participate in the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and not only saw with his own eyes the strength of China. Moreover, before leaving, he received an unexpected "big gift" -- satellite photos and coordinates of the medium- and long-range missile bases deployed by the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Europe, as well as the fact that China will send experts to help the Soviet army carry out the transformation of weapons and equipment in the next 10 years.
All this made the Soviets feel that although the Chinese brother occupied a little bit of his own land very arrogantly, he was still quite righteous enough to be a brother of socialism, otherwise who could help his opponent on the battlefield, especially to help himself improve the weapon system, and he should spend two dollars, and besides, those things that were occupied by China will not be given to you at all, what can you do.
This also made Marshal Zhukov feel that his words about strengthening military exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese and Soviet armies were not in vain.
The Soviet Union would never have imagined that China's purpose in doing so was entirely a need for the world's strategic balance, and that it was to send experts to help the Soviet military transform its weapons and equipment, in order to control and understand the speed of Soviet military development and learn from the Soviet Union's military scientific research departments. The military scientific research department of the USSR was also world-class. Most of the advanced weapons systems on display in the 10 th anniversary National Day parade were imitations of the Soviet Union from the 80s to the 90s.
With the intensification of the border negotiations between the Chinese and Soviet governments, China and the Soviet Union have achieved a large-scale withdrawal of troops in the areas of contact between the two sides, and the relations between China and the Soviet Union have gradually improved fundamentally. On December 11, 1960, the political authorities of China and the Soviet Union formally signed a joint statement on the establishment of the West Siberian Special Administrative Region jointly administered by China and the Soviet Union in the area east of the Ural Mountains, west of Lake Baikal, and south of the 53rd parallel of north latitude, and on the economic and technological cooperation between the two countries on the shelf of sovereignty and joint development. The two sides agreed that the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region would not be separated from the territory of the Soviet Union for 50 years, but that the Soviet Union could no longer exercise its obligations of national sovereignty over the region.
At the same time, the Chinese and Soviet governments ratified the "Basic Law of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region": "The Western Siberian region has always been a disputed territory between China and the Soviet Union, and in order to eliminate this factor that is not conducive to the friendly relations between the two socialist countries, the People's Republic of China and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Chinese and Soviet governments have turned this disputed land of right and wrong into a bridge of friendship between the political axes of China and the Soviet Union and the peoples of the two countries, so as to realize the peaceful coexistence of the two peoples and the long-term peace and stability of the border between the two countries; In order to ensure the development and utilization of this region and promote its prosperity and stability, China and the Soviet Union have fully taken into account the history and reality of this region, and after friendly consultations, have decided to shelve their sovereignty disputes and jointly develop this region east of the Ural Mountains, west of Lake Baikal, and south of the 53rd parallel. The West Siberian Special Administrative Region was established and the two countries jointly administered this region.
The system and policy of socialism are implemented in the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region. The basic principles and policies of China and the Soviet Union toward Western Siberia will be expounded in the Basic Law of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, which will be jointly formulated by the political axes of the two countries.
In accordance with the Basic Law of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, the system to be implemented in the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region is laid down to ensure the implementation of the basic principles and policies of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region between China and the Soviet Union.
The 3.68 million square kilometers of land in the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region are jointly owned by China and the Soviet Union. China and the Soviet Union authorized the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region to exercise a high degree of autonomy in accordance with the provisions of this Law and to enjoy administrative, legislative, judicial and final adjudication powers.
The Governor and Deputy Governor of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region shall be appointed by the Chinese and Soviet Governors in turn, and each Governor shall be appointed by the Chinese and Soviet Governors for a term of five years.
The executive and legislative bodies of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region will gradually be composed of persons appointed by the two States to be composed of permanent residents of Western Siberia in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Law.
The land and natural resources within the territory of the Special Administrative Region are jointly owned by China and the Soviet Union, and the Government of the West Siberian Special Administrative Region is responsible for managing, using, developing, leasing or granting them to individuals, legal persons or organizations for use and development, and 40 percent of the income from the Land and Natural Resources in the Special Administrative Region are jointly owned by China and the Soviet Union, and 40 percent of the income is at the disposal of the Government of the West Siberian Special Administrative Region, 30 percent by the Government of the People's Republic of China, and 30 percent by the Federal Government of the Soviet Socialist Republic.
The laws, regulations, subsidiary legislation and customary laws of the Soviet Union in force in the Western Siberian Region shall be retained, except to those which contradict this Law or which have been amended by the legislative organs of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region.
The executive, legislature and judiciary of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region use Chinese and Russian as their official language.
In addition to displaying the national flag and national emblem of the People's Republic of China and the flag and national emblem of the Soviet Socialist Federation, the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region may also use the regional flag and regional emblem of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region.
The regional flag of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region is five gold stars arranged in an arc above, and below the five gold stars arranged in an arc are red flags with golden sickles and hammers crossed.
The emblem of the West Siberian Special Administrative Region is an arc of five gold stars arranged in the center, with a crossed golden sickle hammer below, the emblem is surrounded by "Western Siberian Special Administrative Region" written in Chinese and Russian, and below it is made of wheat ears and AK47 assault rifles, which are spread out at an angle of 25 degrees to the left and right, and in the middle of the two are semicircular gears.
The provisions of this Law are based on the systems and policies of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, including the social and economic systems, the systems relating to the protection of the fundamental rights of the population, the administrative, legislative and judicial systems, and the relevant policies.
No law enacted by the legislature of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region shall contradict this Law.
The Western Siberian Special Administrative Region is a local administrative region with a high degree of autonomy administered by the People's Republic of China and the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China and the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Socialist Republic set up offices in Western Siberia to deal with foreign affairs. The Government of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region may, in accordance with this Law, conduct its own external affairs in relation to the relevant external affairs.
China and the Soviet Union are responsible for the defense of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, the Soviet Socialist Federation is responsible for the west of the Ural Mountains, the People's Republic of China is responsible for the east of Lake Baikal, and China and the Soviet Union are responsible for 50 percent of the defense of the region north of the 53rd parallel from east to west. However, neither Chinese nor Soviet troops were allowed to enter the territory of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region.
Public order in the West Siberian Special Administrative Region is the responsibility of the mixed security police force of the Chinese and Soviet personnel under the political axe of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region. When necessary, the government of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region may request assistance from the government of China and the Soviet Union in maintaining public order and providing disaster relief."
The Basic Law of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region provides detailed provisions on the basic rights and duties of the people of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, the political system, as well as the economic issues related to investment in the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, immigration, taxation, finance, banking, trade and commerce, land contracts, education, science, culture, sports, labor and social services of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, and the interpretation and amendment of the Basic Law of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region.
The vast territory of Western Siberia has long been disputed by China and the Soviet Union, and the two sides have put aside the dispute over sovereignty and the two countries have jointly developed and constructed. The establishment of the West Siberian Special Administrative Region between the two great powers of China and the Soviet Union, a buffer zone with the surname of China, will ease the contradictions between China and the Soviet Union in the sharp territorial dispute, enhance friendly exchanges and communication between the Chinese and Soviet peoples, and enable the two peoples to live in harmony; We should increase the development and utilization of this region and promote the prosperity and social stability of this region. In this way, we will achieve long-term peace and stability along the border between the two countries, which is a great good thing for the people of China and the Soviet Union. This was especially true for the Soviet Union, which in fact had extremely limited control over the region. The PLA guerrillas of various nationalities in the Soviet Union, led by the Soviet Liberation Front active in this region, under the guidance of the guerrilla warfare advisers of the Far Eastern Special Service Committee, carried out the guerrilla warfare of the national liberation movement in the new period vigorously. Through the effective strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside, they have established large guerrilla zones, and in some areas between cities have become liberated areas led by the Soviet National Liberation Front, and vehicles often encounter the checkpoints and toll booths of the National Liberation Army.
In some parts of the region, the laws of the Soviet state have been superseded by the laws and regulations established by the Autonomous National Axe of the Soviet National Liberation Front. Some of the functionaries of the Soviet political axes were driven out or executed. All taxes due to the Soviet government were withheld. In the face of this situation, the party and government of the Soviet Union signed the "Joint Declaration on the Establishment of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region under the Joint Administration of China and the Soviet Union" with China; The ratification of the Basic Law of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region is undoubtedly the most correct choice.
There is no right or wrong in this world, and the reason why there is right and wrong is entirely determined by the angle from which people look at the world.
On December 13, in Moscow and Leningrad of the Soviet Union, large-scale demonstrations were held, mainly by Slavic nationalists, to protest against the "traitorous act" of the Soviet political axe. They held up "The "Joint Declaration on the Establishment of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region under the Joint Administration of China and the Soviet Union" is a traitorous declaration", "Abolish the "Basic Law of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region", "Every inch of the territory of the Soviet Union was bought by the ancestors with their blood and lives, and it is sacrosanct!" The banner slogan "Long live Stalinism!" "Down with the traitorous clique headed by one Khrushchev!" Slogans such as "Demand for the return of the territories occupied by China in the Far East" and "Release Molotov, Malinowsky, Voroshilov and others, and restore them to all positions inside and outside the party", and forcibly requisitioned buses and trams to march around the city.
Towards noon on December 14, the situation developed further, and the peaceful march turned into a violent act of smashing, looting, and burning, and the Slavic nationalists who participated in the protest march shouted angrily, "Stop the spread of the Yellow Peril!" "Down with China, the nascent imperialism!" One smashed the windows of the Chinese Embassy in Moscow and the Leningrad Consulate Courtyard, burned the Chinese flag, insulted Chinese diplomats, and wounded Soviet policemen guarding the Chinese Embassy. Stormed into the compound of the Chinese Embassy, smashed the glass of the embassy building, burned the car of the Chinese Embassy parked in the compound of the Chinese Embassy, and injured one staff member of the Chinese Embassy and one Soviet employee.
"Thou knowest the praying mantis, and thou wilt be angry with his arm as a rut, and thou shalt not know that he is not competent."
The actions of these nationalists, mainly the Slavic peoples of the Soviet Union, and the chauvinists of the great powers of the Soviet Union, are undoubtedly self-defeating and self-defeating. The Soviet political axe also made a tough and fierce reaction to this act that seriously affected the friendly relations between the Soviet Union and China, affected a harmonious society, and offended China's dignity and violated China's core interests. KGB Chairman Sherepin personally commanded the garrison of the Ninth Directorate of the KGB, which was responsible for the security of the country's senior leaders and important foreign diplomatic missions, and resolutely suppressed these Slavic nationalists who dared to make trouble in the Soviet capital regardless of the overall situation. Fierce clashes ensued between the garrison of the 9th Bureau and the demonstrators, and the rioters burned two armored vehicles with homemade Molotov cocktails. In the end, the "temper tantrums" of the KGB were triggered, and these counter-revolutionary thugs were shot with impunity. As a result, 217 Slavic nationalists were killed, 683 injured and more than 1,200 arrested.
On behalf of the Chinese political axe, the Far East Special Working Committee fully affirmed and highly appreciated the Soviet Union's revolutionary act of safeguarding the friendly relations between the political axes of China and the Soviet Union and the peoples of the two countries as soon as the Soviet Union quelled the riots.
