Word: Inner Manchuria Part of Speech: name Etymology: Distinguishing this region of Greater Manchuria from Outer Manchuria from the perspective of China proper. Cf. Inner Mongolia. 1. Synonym of Manchuria as the three northeastern provinces of China. Example: In the north, however, the Russians and Japanese had other ideas and looked to lop bits off the old empire that they could control in a more formal way. Russia gained Outer Manchuria in the 1860s, and in 1895 Japan gained Taiwan. What happened next confirmed the worst fears of those who believed that imperialism must lead to war. In 1905, the two rivals went to war over Inner Manchuria, which Russia considered vital because it gave it access to a warm-water port on the Pacific,* and to which Japan felt entitled after its victory in 1895, even if it had been forced to return the Chinese cession of the area in the face of the opposition of the Western powers. Example: The Convention of Peking, one of several unequal treaties, moreover assigned the parts in the East of the Ussuri River (Wusulijiang) to Russia. Outer Manchuria, also called Russian Manchuria was never claimed to be part of a Chinese nation-state. Today it belongs to the Russian Federation, is no longer referred to as Outer Manchuria, and is considered to be part of Siberia. Consquently, the name Manchuria refers only to Inner Manchuria today. In the following, I will refer to Inner Manchuria as Manchuria.

Word: Outer Manchuria Part of Speech: name Etymology: From outer + Manchuria. The 21st century sense referring to territories ceded by China to Russia in the 19th century ^((please verify)) was created with the creation of a Wikipedia article in May 2004 for Outer Manchuria; it may be an instance of citogenesis. The same article ^((please verify)) is the source of Inner Manchuria referring to Manchuria (all northeast China). 1. The part of Russia near northeastern China (including Primorsky Krai and other nearby areas) which was annexed by the Russian Empire in the mid 19th century understood as part of Manchuria; similar or equivalent to Russian Manchuria. Labels: neologism Example: In particular, Elliot found himself confronted by a redoubtable opponent in Count Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatyev, the Russian Ambassador to the Sublime Porte. Ignatyev was cunning, agile and bold. He had had adventures aplenty and narrow escapes in Central Asia, where he had sought to build Russian influence. A particularly nimble piece of diplomacy had led to his acquiring Outer Manchuria from the Chinese Emperor. Example: Two years later, Czar Alexander II went a step further and coerced the Chinese into signing the Treaty of Peking, thereby adding another slice of Outer Manchuria—what is now Primorye and southern Khabarovsk Territory—to the Russian empire. In the mid-1960s, it seemed as if Mao might try to get them back. 2. Any proverbially distant or remote place. Labels: figuratively Example: "Fine. Give me your manuscript and in an hour I’ll come back with forty copies. You can sign the first one for your Australian neighbor, and he’ll wedge open his skylight with it. You’ve got the wrong period, Ivan! These days the most popular man in France is a footballer, not a poet . . ." "In some countries that period survives!" "Really? In Outer Manchuria, I suppose." "No. In Russia . . ." 3. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see outer, Manchuria (a region of northeast China and Manchuria) Example: Zhang Xinxin was born in 1953 in Nanjing, but not long after her birth, her family moved to Beijing. Like many urban youth of her generation, she was sent to a military farm in the Great Northern Wilderness of outer Manchuria to accept education from farmers and soldiers during the Cultural Revolution in 1969. In 1979, at age twenty-six, she passed the college entrance exam and entered the Central Academy of Drama. Example: East Asia was a fourth issue. The Soviets were neutral in the Pacific until the last week of the war. Then the Soviets declared war, seizing from Japan Outer Manchuria, southern Sakhalin Island, and the entire Kurile Island chain. At Potsdam, the Soviets asked for an occupation zone in Japan, like the American occupation zone in Germany.

A small table supported by one or more columns, or sculptural human or mythological figures, often with a circular top. 2. A small table or trolley used for tableside food preparation; compare dessert cart.

Gueridon service in a modified form, however, is often used in restaurants of all types and price ranges.
