Found this on Rybar. Personally I think China should do better at making sure these kind of map mishaps do no occur. It does make some countries lose faith in china. I don't mind incorporating the disputed territories with India but the line was demarcated with Russia over a decade ago. It should be properly addressed. Any thoughts?



The Russian

are actively spreading the news that China claims the territory of the Russian Federation . The bottom line is that recently, officially approved maps of the country were issued in one of the government departments of the PRC - they include China's Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin, disputed by India, Taiwan, as well as the entire Big Ussuri Island , the eastern part of which belongs to Russia .

Indeed, since the days of the Russian Empire, the parties have been arguing over the islands on the Amur River. However, in 2004, Russian President Vladimir Putin and former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin entered into an agreement on the transfer of the western part of the Big Ussuri Island, as well as some other territories, to the PRC. The eastern part of the island officially became Russian.

The theme of belonging to the islands on the Amur River, as well as some other territories of the Russian Federation, has been spreading in China for a long time . This year, for example, China's Ministry of Natural Resources

toponymy rules for maps, according to which cities that once belonged to the country must have their names changed.into traditional Chinese . And in the Baidu maps cartographic service, the Chinese border also covers the entire Big Ussuri Island.

In addition, the Aigun and Beijing treaties , concluded during the existence of the Qing and Russian empires and marking the borders of the two countries, are considered by many in China to be “unequal” by analogy with the agreements that the country was forced to sign with Great Britain and other European powers as a result of opium wars.

Despite the fact that it is not the first time that the Chinese authorities have used such informational occasions to stimulate patriotic feelings among the domestic consumer, unlike the aggressive

of Japan, what is happening so far is not a real claim on the territory of Russia.

But the fact remains that the territorial dispute officially ended with the demarcation of borders in 2008, and the fact that China still publishes such maps at the state level does not quite fit with the rhetoric about strong friendship between the Russian Federation and China.

So far, the only official comment from the Russian authorities is

of the Chairman of the International Committee of the Federation Council Grigory Karasin, who stated that it is not necessary to draw premature conclusions for the time being. It remains to wait for the statements of the Russian Foreign Ministry - maybe they will shed light on this, to put it mildly, ambiguous situation.

UK ambassador out, and the stolen artifacts from British museum must be returned
The UK must be in some serious trouble if they are making stupid statements like this think China will flip the lid and send destroyers to the UK. Really, just what threat does the UK present given that they are not only a spent force (even more so after all the aid they sent to Ukraine with almost no returns) but also an extremely incompetently lead one that quite frankly will be done away with over time once the economy fully collapses in the coming days. The longer that Indian fool runs the UK, the quicker the UK ends up tearing itself apart given how most of its institutions are in strike right now
