FOURTH CLAUSE. The Contracting Parties agree, that the Sino-Russian border demarcated on the ground should also be equally divided vertically into the sky and the subsoil. Unless the Contracting Parties reach another agreement, any natural changes that may occur in the area of the border do not affect the position of the Sino-Russian border that is described in Article 1 of this supplementary agreement and the related islands and islets. After the border line of the boundary river has been demarcated, any newly emerging island or islets that may appear will be divided according to the border line. If the new islands are on the demarcated border line, the Contracting Parties will agree on the basis of fairness who has ownership over them.
