Very good source HKSDU, although funny when you read "PRC and Bhutan got some disputes" while effectively, it is India who stationed at those what called "Bhutan's claim" area and have "disputes" with PRC. I would like to remind everyone that in the eyes of India, Bhutan is as good as not existing, although maybe not officially "wipe them out from the map", but it is Indian army which making "disputes" at the supposed PRC & Bhutan border.



In very simple words, after 2009, PRC has solved all the LAND BORDERLINE IDENTIFICATION with all her legitimacy neighbor states, except India. At the end of 2009, China and India held the 29th (not sure the exact times, but surely 20 over times) borderline identification joint committee session (边界划分谈判) - only thing agreed by both party, is that there is necessary to held the next session.

At sea, besides the well known japan, two koreas whom all 4 of the parties have disputes with one each other - anyone claims anything outside 12nm off their own coast at Chinese South Sea, locked in at an multi-side arena of disputes, which no way any single "arbitrator" can support one to against another (say, against China) without harming a third claimate's interest (which China can exploit from).

PRC & ROC is not "disputes", it is UNFINISHED CIVIL WAR, period.


If this thread ever being started is because you have read some newspaper and sounds like China is like one man against all (at Chinese South Sea)... you are being mislead from the fact that all the other Chinese South Sea claimates have disputes (if not blood debt) among themselves.

No, I wanted to create a flash animation map of all of China's geographical territorial disputes that has been resolved over the years, including those unresolved.

Thank you guys!

Personally, I think the South China Sea isn't about resources, it's more about command of the sea, ensuring blockades against martime and military transport traffic is not immobolized by enemies in the future, etc... etc... Straits of Mallaca is one example I can bring up, but the potential to shut down shipping traffic to Koreas or Japan like U.S/Britain for Japan's Dutch East Indies colony during WW2 can virtually bring anyone of her neighbors down to the knees.

»Ø¸´: List of territorial disputes with China's neighbors.

To sum it up, there are no longer any major land disputes along the Chinese border for the PRC, with the -very- notable exception of India. There are minor disputes with Bhutan and the DPRK (very small).

NO maritime border disputes have been resolved. There are disputes with Japan over Diaoyu, and with scores of countries over the Paracels (Xisha) and Spratlys (Nansha). Couldn't be simpler :)

Re: »Ø¸´: List of territorial disputes with China's neighbors.

Is it true that China had territorial disputes with every single one of it's bordering country in the past or present plus additional maritime disputes with other nations near the surrounding waters too ...
