Equation
Lieutenant General
Not exactly a world breaking news, but it dose has impact on its own weight.
China and Tajikistan has made formal hand-over (the treaty has been signed at 2009, I believe) of some then-disputed-now-rectified some 1158 km^2 border land, from Tajikistan to China.
The picture caption by some well-researched Chinese forum member, indicating the Qing dynasty claims, the until today Tajikistan controlled area, the "exists only on my map" ROC claims, the 1949 PRC claims, and the most recent PRC regain-controlled area.
PRC regain control of 1,158km^2 area, lost claims to 27,400km^2 of now-and-then-always-effectively-under-foreign-control area. A trade-off we are too early to make any judge.
Thanks for the interesting post. Do you have anymore articles or news about it? How long has this negotiation been going on before it reaches it's current result.
