Haishenwai

In the Moscow talks, Vance presented to the Soviet side two alternative proposals of the U.S. Government. The first suggests a "deep cut" in the ceiling tentatively set by the two countries at Vladivostok (Haishenwai) in 1974 for their strategic missiles and bombers (2,400 for each).

The first public Chinese reaction was a statement by Foreign Minister Wu Xueqian on August 13, in which he said simply that the Chinese had "taken note" of Gorbachev's statement "made in Vladivostok (Haishenwai)," thus interjecting the Chinese name for the Chinese fishing village they claim existed on the site before the Russian colonization of the area.

Yet, like nearly all Chinese who visit a city whose Russian name means “master of the East,” Mr. Cui is absolutely certain about one thing: The place should really be called Haishenwai, the name it had back when China was master in these parts. A native of the Chinese province of Jilin in Manchuria, Mr. Cui said it was a “historical fact” that the home of Russia’s Pacific Fleet and the showcase of President Vladimir V. Putin’s ambitions to project his country as an Asian power is in reality Chinese territory.
