  Sino-Soviet border conflict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An island in the Ussuri River, called Zhen Bao Island (珍宝岛) by the Chinese and Damansky Island (Остров Даманский) by the Soviets, almost led the Soviet Union and People's Republic of China to war in 1969.
On March 2, 1969 a Soviet patrol was ambushed on Zhenbao by Chinese forces.
(Both sides claimed the island was under their control at the time of the agreement.) On October 17, 1995 an agreement over the last 54 km stretch of the border was reached, but the question of control over three islands in the Amur and Argun rivers was left to be settled.

The provocation in the area of the Island of Damansky is part of the Maoists' policy which aims at forcing a radical reversal in the foreign and domestic policies of the PR [People's Republic] of China and at transforming the country de facto into a power hostile toward the socialist countries.
The border in the area of the Island of Damansky was established according to the Treaty of Beijing of 1860 and the enclosed map which the representatives of Russia and China signed in June 1863.
The armed provocation in the area of the Island of Damansky is a logical consequence of this course of the Chinese authorities and is part of a far-reaching plan by Beijing aiming at increasing the Maoists' anti-Soviet campaign.

China was also an enemy for some time, owing to its "archaic" (according to Nikita Khrushchev) and "neo-Stalinist" (Leonid Brezhnev) ideology and its territorial claims to Damansky (Zhen Bao Island).
