Dear Victor,
The 2004 China/Russia Border Treaty you're looking for can be found at:
www.akdi.ru/gd/proekt/096937GD.SHTM (in Russian). Hopefully you can find
someone to translate it sooner than I can do it at the moment, but in any
case now you know where to find it.

Subject: [INT-BOUNDARIES] The Amur-Ussuri junction
Dear Colleagues,
I have just realised that spending all my time on maritime boundaries
I do not know whether China and Russia sorted out their land-boundary
problem at the Amur-Ussuri junction. If the issue has been settled
I'd be pleased to know the outcome. If it is unsolved who occupies
the island?
Sincerely, Victor Prescott

Subject: China and Russia finish land boundary
Dear Colleagues,
According to the Associated Press (Beijing, 14 Oct 2004) and Xinhua
(http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2004-10/14/content_2091406.htm), China
and Russia signed an agreement yesterday that completed delimitation of
their 4,300-km land boundary.
The news reports do not give specifics. The countries signed agreements in
1991 and 1994 that delimited most of the eastern and western sections of
their boundary (on either side of Mongolia). Most of the boundary has now
been demarcated. Presumably, the new agreement resolves the status of
several river islands.
The small pockets remaining in dispute were located in the western section
of the boundary. In 1996, President Yeltsin, Boris explicitly identified
islands "in the Amur River not far from Khabarovsk and the ... Bolshoy
island in the Argun River" as continuing in dispute. The same three islands
were cited by the head of the Russian delegation to the Russian-Chinese
Demarcation Commission on 8 August 1997. The countries disagreed about
which side of the islands front on the main river channel, which is their
international boundary. The disputed islands included those at the
confluence of the Amur and Ussuri Rivers near Khabarovsk, which the Chinese
lump together as Heixiazi Island but the Russians name Bolshoy Ussuriyskiy
Island and Tarabarov Island. The islands have a combined area of some 330
sq km. There may also have been a small, associated islet north of
Tarabarov at issue. Bolshoy [great] island in the Argun River, which is a
tributary of the Amur, was also disputed.
The Treaty of Aigun (1858) defined the Amur River as the Sino-Russian
boundary. It specified that lands on the left bank were Russian and those
on the right bank were Chinese, thus leaving river islands in uncertain
status. The Treaty of Peking (1860) defined the boundary as following the
Amur River to its junction with the Ussuri River, and then turning southward
along the Ussuri. China and Russia disagreed about where the confluence of
the two rivers was. Accretion and conflicting maps added to the dispute
over the islands.
A draft agreement on principles of joint economic use of "certain islands
and surrounding waters on border rivers" was also initialed during the 1997
summit. Subsequently, a Russian official said that the joint-use agreement
did not apply to Bolshoy Ussuriyskiy or Tarabarov Islands, but might be used
for Bolshoy Island in the Argun. Negotiations continued on the disputed
river islands, resulting in the 14 October 2004 agreement.

Dan Dzurek
