The Chinese government had taken over administration of the Russian-founded Chinese Eastern Railway concession, and its large Russian population. This account of the decade-long multi-ethnic and multi-national administrative experiment in North Manchuria reveals that China not only created policies to promote Chinese sovereignty, but also instituted measures to protect the Russian minority. This multi-faceted book is a historical examination of how an ethnic, cultural, and racial majority coexisted with a minority of a different culture and race. It restores to history the multiple national influences that have shaped northern China and Chinese nationalism Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-276) and index Notes Print version record Subject Chinese Eastern Railway -- History SUBJECT Chinese Eastern Railway fast Subject Russians -- China -- Manchuria -- History -- 20th century HISTORY -- Asia -- China.
