China–North Korea borderThe China–North Korea border is an international border separating China and North Korea, extending from Korea Bay in the west to a tripoint with Russia in the east. The total length of the border is 1,352 kilometers (840 mi). The current border was created by two secret treaties signed between China and North Korea in 1962 and 1964.

The Amur proper is 2,824 km (1,755 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 1,855,000 km2 (716,000 mi2).List of rivers of ChinaRivers that flow through China are as follows. The list is organized according to the body of water into which each river empties, beginning with the Sea of Okhotsk in the northeast, moving clockwise on a map and ending with the Arctic Ocean.

HarbinManchu nameManchu scriptᡥᠠᠯᠪᡳᠨRomanizationHalbinRussian nameRussianХарби́нRomanizationKharbinThis article contains Manchu text. Without proper , you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Manchu alphabet.TributaryA tributary, or an affluent, is a stream that typically flows into a larger stream (main stem or parent) or lake, or rarely into a smaller stream, e.g., the Esla tributary to the Douro. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Tributaries and the main stem into which they flow drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater, leading the water out into an ocean, another stream, or into an endorheic basin.
MeanderA meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves in the channel of a stream. It is produced as a watercourse erodes the sediments of an outer, concave bank (cut bank or river cliff) and deposits sediments on an inner, convex bank which is typically a point bar. The result of this coupled erosion and sedimentation is the formation of a sinuous course as the channel migrates back and forth across the axis of a floodplain.
Russian languageRussian is an East Slavic language belonging to the Balto-Slavic branch of the Indo-European language family. It is one of the four extant East Slavic languages, and is the native language of the Russian people. Russian was the de facto (and de jure in its final years) official language of the former Soviet Union.
Romanization of RussianThe romanization of the Russian language (the transliteration of Russian text from the Cyrillic script into the Latin script), aside from its primary use for including Russian names and words in text written in a Latin alphabet, is also essential for computer users to input Russian text who either do not have a keyboard or word processor set up for inputting Cyrillic, or else are not capable of typing rapidly using a native Russian keyboard layout (JCUKEN).*As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
