Talk:New Star incident

So named “historical background”

The area was ceded by Qing Empire in 1860 (Convention of Peking), 148 years before events in question. AFAIK no Chinese government claimed Primorye (or some aquatory in Japanese sea) since then. Not Republic of China nor PRC did it. There is an article History of Vladivostok, but here this information is irrelevant. I do not justify recent actions of Russian Federation, but Chinese imperialists’ historically based views of Primorye have clearly nothing to do with this incident.

The historical fact is Vladivostok belonged to China since ancient time, and I think it is very relevant to have the fact being presented here. What the Chinese imperialists (and Russian imperialists) did or did not do, has nothing to do with this article, but the fact that "Vladivostok belonged to China since ancient time" does help general readers to understand more about this article.

Suppose, you sell me a house, where your grandfather and his father and grandfather lived and died. In the future, your son (who even never saw the house before) come to me with some petty business, but a quarrel ignited and he was beaten at the steps of my house. After 148 years, yes. Have the fact (that it’s the father of the beaten one who sold me a house) something to do with legal and moral estimates of the incident? Does anybody understand more with the history of his ancestors? IMHO no. If you continue to defend that so named historical section without a clear explanation of its relevancy to this particular case, I would ask for a mediation.

First of all, Vladivostok was not "Sold" at all. A normal business transection, like buying of a house, would involved the "Legal transfer of a deed", and I don't think you can produce any official document regarding the "Deed of Transfer of Vladivostok", can you?

There is a document, where Qing Empire dropped claims of the area east of the river Ussuri. Did the Chinese think at the time that they was robbed or no, does not matter. There was no another Chinese government at the time than Qing, and Qing ceded Primorye. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 06:57, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

The fact is, like Tannu Uriankhai and Sixty-Four Villages East of the River, Vladivostok was taken by force, by the Russian, there is no question about it. My point is, a robbery is a robbery, be it 148 years, or 248 years, or 348 years later; time does not change a thing. Arilang ^talk 22:26, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Who was (supposedly) robbed, historical Qing Empire or somebody of modern Chinese? There was no modern Chinese claims on Vladivostok or nearby parts of Japanese sea, these land and waters recognized as Russian without a contest. Stop diverting a discussion out of the topic.

The historical situation of Vladivostok seems to be irrelevant to this article, neither side have drawn attention to the fact that the territory Vladivostok is now situated in was Chinese before 1860. Unless there is a good reason presented for having this section it should be deleted as currently it appears to have become a coatrack for nationalist claims. Robbery 148 years ago or not, it doesn't seem to have any connection with this incident which is over allegations of smuggling. Benea (talk) 01:12, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Benea, and I've removed the section from the article. It is irrelevant here who owned Vladivostok in the past. The claims and counter-claims of what the ship was doing are relevant, and both sides view should be represented. Please do not re-insert the section unless and until there is consensus to do so. Further edit warring and disruption over this will lead to admininstrative action taking place. Mjroots (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

• New Star ship incident → New Star incident – It is not usual to name ships "[Name] ship". The name of the ship should also be italicized. 216.8.148.227 (talk) 20:24, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

• Support, I read this as "New Starship incident" and was confused.--Xiaphias (talk) 03:04, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
