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.

Sorry, I just figured out his name, Nikita Khrushchev. I beleive it is a large possibilty that this base might just be a supply depot but more facilities should come, probably more serious too. Remember China has just become allies with russia again for only about 3 decades, so the first base, might not all be so important.

i think if Russia want to set a military base in china, china should set a military base in Russia. Or if this is not realistic, then your assumption is not true.

Very interesting development. Is this going to be the first foreign military base in China since the end of WWII? If it is, then Chinese-Russian military cooperation may be becoming more deeper than ever. As a matter of fact, I don't recall the Russians making the same deal with the Indians.

how in the world would russia send supply's and people to india without passing chinese airspace or territory? i know an indian base is likely aswell, but the russians are probably just taking one step at a time. perhaps russia will open a string ofdepots in china, allowing supplies to evnetually access inida(still through the himalayas).

This is interesting. Russia opening a military base in China. However from all of what we have discussed, non of us ever mentioned Varyag. In my opinion, this is somewhat linked to China's Aircraft carrier program because why open a supply depot for russian spare parts when PLAN can make them on their own? Therefore I think this base is linked to Varyag in someways that we may not be be able to see now.:china:

plaabuddy has a point. maybe its for the secret transfer of russia aids, technicians, weapons, and planes that are to be used on varayg. a supply depot may just be a cover.

using the depot would be a really good idea to aid in building the varayg. if they are going to use it to help build the varayg then wouldn't the depot need to be reasonably close the construction site of the varayg. if it is far away, enemies of china could moniter the movements of the supplies and that would lead them straight to the varayg. then that would create a lot of talk. also does anyone know the planned location of the depot.

first of all mao, its common to use question marks (?) in english when asking a question. just a helpful hint:)

i have a feeling more than one base is planned, and they might be interconnected through underground tunnels. i belive the base is going to be relatively close to shenyang, chengdu, beijing, and dalian. mostl ikely, they will be situated near aricraft companies, large military bases, or NORINCO factories. a base near dalian would arouse quite a bit of foreign suspicion though...

The Russian military base in China would be a huge threat to China. Even though they are pretty friendly with us now doesn't mean they will be forever and as the relationship gets worse, it would pose a huge threat to our military. So, if they are to have a base in China, i say we should have one too in China. Then, it would be mutual.
