Examples

“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.”

In return, China gave up the territorial claims to the remainder of Heixiazi Island occupied and governed by Russia.”
