Excerpt from Manchuria, Vol. 14: Its People, Resources and Recent History Chinese enterprise and expansion has been very much curtailed. When the Manchus were struggling with China the Russians were settling on the banks of the Upper Amur and in the neighbouring regions, which then constituted part of Northern Manchuria.
