Republic Of China Xinjiang Warlord Regime's Relations With The Soviet Union

Xin Jiang province was once ruled by three local warlords successively ?? Yang Zengxin, un Shuren, Sheng Shicai during the Republic of China. The Xin Jiang local warlords?government established abnormal special diplomatic re- lationship with the Soviet Union because of geographical position and historical reasons. From the year 1918 to September 1944, the Xin Jiang local govern- ment s diplomatic policy to the U. S. S. R. developed from keeping contact, doing peace trade, resisting political infiltrations and depending on it stronger and stronger until selling out Xin Jiang?s soveireign rights thoroughly. While on the other hand, the Soviet Union?s diplomatic policy to Xin Jiang grew from trade contacts to grabble political privileges until to get overall control over its politics, economy and military. This kind of diplomatic relationship which independent from the central government is a manifestation of the weakness of the central government at the same time a result of the U. S. S. R?s pushing out of the Chauvinist invasive policy. Owing to the local administrative system and the ef- fect of the international strategic pattern in the Far East, Xin Jiang avoided the tragedy of breaking away from the motherland at Last.
