Binjiang (Chinese: 濱江) was one of the provinces of Manchukuo. On December 1, 1934, Binjiang was established after it was split from Jilin.[1] In 1937, the province of Mundanjiang was split from Binjiang. On August 20, 1945, Binjiang was disestablished after the dissolution of Manchukuo in the Soviet–Japanese War.[2][3]
Binjiang had a mix of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Russian people.[4] Many Japanese settlers migrated to the area, during which many human rights abuses were committed.[5][6]
