| 9. "Doklad . . . 1951," 10. As late as January 26, 1950, in one of the last attempts to check Soviet control, Zhou Enlai gave Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vyshinskii a Chinese draft of an agreement on Lüshun, Dalian, and the Changchun Railway emphasizing Chinese sovereignty. According to that draft, the Soviet side was to decline any rights on Lüshun, Dalian, and the Changchun Railway; Soviet troops were to be withdrawn from China after signing a peace treaty with Japan, or, if a peace treaty would not be signed, in three years after the signing the Sino-Soviet treaty. Yet Stalin, having exerted pressure upon Mao, insisted on the tough Soviet draft of the protocols. Vyshinski to Stalin, January 26, 1950, AVPRF, f. 022, op. 3, pa. 21, d. 39, pp. 36-9.
