You could at the very least write out Republic of China (Taiwan) in this post. What’s with not mentioning the ROC at all? The “sovereignty disputes” are with the ROC.
If you just look at the territorial claims of the Republic of China, this map gets even crazier. (eg. Myanmar, Tajikistan, Russia, the whole of Mongolia among others)
Disputes with Russia for sure will raise as well one day.
Some of the most???
Dude it’s either yes or no
And it borders more countries than any other
Somebody needs to stop CCP, once and for all. Free Hong Kong. Free Tibet. Free Uighuristan. Protect Taiwan!
They somehow united South East Asia by being assholes to everyone even fellow communist Vietnam
As a Taiwanese I feel so many pro-china propaganda these days which concerns me a lot. Whenever western people say China is so devloped that Chinese people are living the future, me =👀👀. They dont know the salary of Chinese people living behind the skyscrapers and how many Chinese people are moving to neighboring countries to do cheap labors.
It gets worse if you include countries they’ve tried to invade in the last 50 years like Vietnam, no active territorial disputes but shit is pretty recent
I don’t really think Nepal needs to be in that list tbh, unless a few meters of land dispute constitutes as a “territory dispute” (which would technically be true I guess).
Maps like this always start arguments.
This map is very wrong. China does not have active disputes with DPRK or Korea, or Nepal. It has also resolved its issue in the SCS with Indonesia
There’s technically also a land dispute with Russia over the island near Khabarovsk, but it’s probably not really relevant
Taiwan’s flag since you forgot to use it 🇹🇼🇹🇼🫡👍
Probably at least partially a consequence of the huge number of countries that China borders.
Seeing as China has grabbed or claimed bits of Indian Cashmere, doesn’t Pakistan’s claim of the entirety of Cashmere mean it has a land dispute with China as well?
One of the countries with Morocco that claims land from all its neighbours.
way too many chinese bots on this sub lol
I thought China and North Korea were friends
Nixon was an idiot
And with Russia too
All expansionist empires have territorial disputes.part
of the job.
Is probably the most
Those Western Taiwanese sure are a contentious lot!
When youre surrounded by American military bases and hostile puppet states its kinda inevitable you’ll have some disputes. At least China rarely acts on them
It has dispute with Russia also
This is unpopular opinion but china could have avoided being surrounded by american allies if they are not asshole. like i’m dead serious
China during 2008 was seen to be on a peaceful rise. everyone, including US, is fine with china being a super power, like why would be worried to a country that peaceful right?
But Xi jinping goes for an aggro
Like i give some example:
* Philippines is currently china’s greatest enemy, however China could have avoided the Philippine problem if they listen to Philippines. The only reason Philippines is so defensive is because of its fishermen getting harrassed every single day and the fact they are ruining our coral reefs. China could have cooperated with Philippines making treaties and cooperation to preserved and developed the area. They could also done this to vietnam. imagine the wealth and prosperity it could bring. Then again, Philippines have done a lot of efforts trying to have a reasonable diplomatic talk but due to their increase aggression, philippines has no choice but to side with US and re-militarized
* United States considered china as an allied till 2008. they dont really care if china rise as super power as long as China wont go aggro. and that’s the issue. they go aggro
* Taiwan could have integrated if they have become more diplomatic with taiwan. again, its easy to do
This all stems from China being super aggressive. all of this are preventable yet here we are
That’s a common fashion in East Asia.
Japan has disputes with all of its neighbors: North Korea, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, and China.
The Koreas have disputes with all of their neighbors: each other, as well as China, Japan, and Taiwan.
Taiwan has disputes with all of its neighbors—and, constitutionally, with almost every country that borders China.
Some of the most what?
A lot of people don’t realize that China also has a territorial dispute with Pakistan. There were originally two disputed regions between China & Pakistan that overlapped with Indian claims on Jammu & Kashmir: Shaksgam tract/Hunza-Nagar & the Aksai Chin-Ladakh border. Pakistan & China resolved the the first dispute in 1963 after the Indian defeat during the Sino-Indian war of 1962. China relinquished it’s claim over the Hunza-Nagar which was a princely state that was part of Jammu Kashmir state but administratively was under direct control of the British rule who ruled the state through local kings known as ‘Mirs’. Chinese claims were based on Qing empire’s official maps while Pakistan’s claims were inherited by the Jammu Kashmir’s rulers claims over Shaksgam tract that were also supported by the British claims over the Pamir mountain passageways. However, after the Indian defeat during the Sino-Indian war of 1962 & the Sino-Soviet split of the 60’s, both Pakistan & China formalized an anti-India alliance which still exist today. Pakistan relinquished it’s claim over the Shaksgam tract while China (only PRC) relinquished it’s claims over the Hunza-Nagar valley. ROC (Taiwan based government) still retain their old claim though. Both sides recognized their official border in the form of Sino-Pakistan boundary agreement in 1963. However, India has rejected this agreement & still claim both parts.
Now, both China & Pakistan have overlapping claims over the western parts of the Changthang plateau (that includes Aksai Chin & parts of Ladakh). Ladakh is currently under Indian control which Pakistan claims but China doesn’t. China only claims the Aksai Chin part & considers the LAC (Line of Actual Control) between India & China as official border while India claims this line as a “temporary border” as they lost Aksai Chin during the 62 war. Technically, Pakistan still claim this part as it historically belonged to the Jammu Kashmir state but due to Pakistan’s close alignment with China, it doesn’t aggressively push it’s claim forward as it does for the Indian controlled parts of Jammu Kashmir. That’s why in Pakistan’s official maps, this region has no defined border. They call it “Frontier Undefined” on their official maps. Pakistani government’s official position is that since China & Pakistan are close friends, they will resolve this issue peacefully. But the problem is that China has no desire to change the line.
They even have territory disputes with North Korea 😭
On this map why is Burma the only country that China shares no territory disputes with? China shares a substantial border with Burma.
>Since the 1995-96 Taiwan Strait crisis, scholars and policymakers have become increasingly concerned about China’s territorial ambitions. Yet China has also used peaceful means to manage conficts, settling seventeen of its twenty-three territorial disputes, often with substantial compromises.
>China has offered substantial compromises in seventeen of its twenty-three territorial disputes active since 1949. As Table 1 demonstrates, it has often agreed to accept less than half of the territory being disputed.”
Note 17 compromises and 17 settle don’t fully overlap.
