renmin said:Actually, during those years when the two countries were allies, Russia did have a few military bases staioned in China (dont ask me where, I really dont know). Russia sent its top scientists to help China with arcitecture, military, civilian technologies. Many projects were started spending much money. But after Josef Stalin died, The next Soviet Leader, (this is in pinyin) He le xiao fu (who actually hated Stalin) took back all the scientists which canceled many unfinished projects which meens China just wasted ALOT of money. The Russian bases were also taken away. The russian leader also tried to boss China around. At the last straw, Mao ze Dong finally broke up with the Soviets. From this break up, China learned that no one should rely on someone else as what china had done and ended up spending much for nothing. Now that China and the Russians are close again including the fact that the two did the joint military exercise, I'm really not surprised Russia is building a base in China.
le xiao fu=kruschev? sounds somewhat similar.
i think kruschev didnt like anything stalin did, and hated china for fighting against india. thus, former friends became mortal enemies.
as for this base, its perhaps might store spare parts for any chinese operated russian equiupment. the thing is, the amount of chinese operated equipment is on a decline. aside from a few minor technologies, russia has few weapons to offer to china now. perhaps if this basxe was originally built in 1990, it would have served some use. but not in 2005. by 2010-2015, china likely wont make nay major weapons purchases from russia.
as with most chinese related buildings, we probably wont have any idea whats going on inside it, and the base must be used for more than just a supply depot. perhaps russia is showcasing more advanced technology in it, such as plasma and sattelite technology.
