The return of this right also means that the situation that the development of Northeast China is seriously hindered because there is no suitable sea port is about to be broken. On June 1 2023, according to media reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin reached an important agreement with China in Moscow to hand over the right to use Vladivostok, which means that from now on, Vladivostok will return to China and become an important super seaport in China.

This historical moment reminds people that 163 years ago, 1858, China and Russia signed the Beijing Treaty and the Aihui Treaty, but gave up a large territory and national sovereignty. Although it was a small fishing village a long time ago, its good geographical and resource advantages made it develop into a small city for goods trading in a short time. However, due to the incompetence of the Qing government at that time, it was included in Russia at that time when it signed the unequal treaty.

Fortunately, after a lapse of 163 years, the right to use China, a major port, has finally returned to the hands of the motherland.

The importance of Vladivostok port;

Vladivostok Port, located at the terminal of trans-siberian railway, is the main distribution center of maritime transportation in the Far East Federal District, with routes to Japan, China, India, the United States, Ukraine and Southeast Asian countries. Since its founding, this city has been playing a national strategic role. In addition to its defensive function, it also plays an important role in port transportation, marine production, foreign trade, transportation transit and scientific education.

Vladivostok commercial port plays a vital role in international and coastal transportation in the Russian Far East. There are 17 terminals, with a total length of 5 kilometers, two of which can accept ocean-going passenger ships, and the modern container terminal ensures that the goods reach the Russian Far East.

The total length of container terminals in Southeast Asian countries and the west coast of the United States is 303 meters, with an annual turnover of 70,000 containers of international standard size and a cargo turnover of about 5 million tons. Commercial ports have frozen warehouses with a capacity of 2000 tons, and a considerable part of goods arrive and leave commercial ports by railway. The favorable geographical location of commercial ports makes it possible to save railway freight.
