How big is a piece of territory that China has not given up so far?

China's territory is now almost the largest in history. When the Mongols invaded Europe and established the Golden Horde, those places were not Mongol territory, but only Mongol rule. The only territories China lost were those east and north of the Heilongjiang River that had been acquired by the Treaty of Nebuchu during the Kangxi period.

You should take a good look at the map of the various dynasties, most of the dynasties in Chinese history are just a few provinces centered on Henan.

In the middle and late Manchu Qing Dynasty alone, more than 150w square kilometers of land were ceded to Russia.

Do you think it will be bigger than it is now?

Russia's current Khabarovsk, Vladivostok and other Far Eastern regions used to belong to China.

In addition, Outer Mongolia is also independent in modern times.

So, obviously, if you add these lands, China's territory will be far greater than it is now, there will be more than 11 million square kilometers!!

As we all know, our country's territory reaches more than 9.6 million square kilometers, making it the third largest country in the world in terms of territory, and it is adjacent to more than a dozen countries. For historical reasons, the territory of our borders has always been disputed with other countries. Although some border territorial issues have been satisfactorily resolved, there are still some territories that are not identically disputed.

Before 1960, China had an enclave surrounded by Burma and not adjacent to Chinese land. It was only in 60 years that China and Myanmar held consultations on the border issue that China voluntarily gave up the land. What's going on?

Here's a closer look at it for you.

This enclave is the Nankan area, with a total area of 220 square kilometers, a beautiful environment, Buddhist temples and ancient temples, rich products, and a cultural ancient city with a long history. Nankan is located on the south bank of Ruili City, Yunnan Province, China, across the river from China, surrounded by Burmese territory.

The Nankan area can be called a pearl by the Ruili River and a world-famous tourist resort. Once, an American writer wrote a ** "Hundred Mashkin", which was written about what happened in the Nankan area, and it was adapted into a movie. As a result, the Nankan area is also well-known to the world.

Of course, the Nankan region is China's inherent territory, which is indisputable in the world. However, the change of events can be traced back to the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the British colonized Southeast Asia, and Burma also became a British colony.

Britain took a fancy to the Nankan region, which was sandwiched in the middle of Burma, and the Qing Dynasty was cowardly. As a result, the British forced the Qing Dynasty to lease the Nankan area to the British.

Later, World War II broke out, and Japan occupied Burma, including the Nam Kham region. In order to resist the Japanese invasion, the Nationals opened the passage for the Allies to transport supplies from the southwest. Therefore, an expeditionary force of 100,000 was sent to Burma to fight against the Japanese invaders in Burma and successfully recovered the Nankan area.

The national** was unable to govern at that time, so he leased it to the British ** for the cost of 1,000 rupees per year**.

After the independence of Burma, the Nam Khan area was administered by Burma, and the rent was changed from Britain to Burma and handed over to China. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Myanmar has been interrupting the payment of rent.

In 1960, China and Burma negotiated on the border issue. Taking into account the international situation at that time, China added friendly countries in order to ensure peace and stability on the border, and this enclave was indeed difficult to manage. As a result, it was decided to exchange the territory with Myanmar and assign the Nam Kham area to Myanmar.

Myanmar, on the other hand, gave China the territory that originally belonged to it, that is, the territory west of Banhong and Panlao. At this point, the Nankan region was completely disconnected from China and became the territory of another country.

In this case, this would be beneficial to both China and Myanmar. At that time, China and the Soviet Union were at loggerheads, and the Soviet army stationed millions of troops on China's northern border, which brought a lot of pressure to China. Territorial swapping with Myanmar can be exchanged for border stability in the south.

In addition, Nam Khan is an enclave in China, which is not easy to manage at all, and is indeed an important gateway to Myanmar. So, this choice is the result of mutual benefit between the two countries.

Because the place is very dangerous and surrounded by other countries, such a land is very difficult to manage, and it is a good strategy to give it up temporarily.

This place is Jiangxinpo, in 1960, China and Myanmar carried out a territorial exchange, gave up Jiangxinpo, in exchange for Gulang Gangfang, Pianma.

It is in Myanmar, known as the second special region of Myanmar, and at the same time that our country gave up, Myanmar also assigned us the two areas of Hung Banbanlao.

The People's Republic of China has a land area of about 9.6 million square kilometers, with a coastline of more than 10,000 kilometers on the mainland, more than 10,000 kilometers on islands, and more than 4.7 million square kilometers on the inland and border seas. There are more than 7,600 large and small islands in the sea area, of which Taiwan Island is the largest, with an area of 35,798 square kilometers. It is bordered by land with 14 countries and by sea with 6 countries.

Land territory: Chinese mainland and its coastal islands, Taiwan and its affiliated islands, Dongsha Islands, Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands, Nansha Islands and all other islands belonging to the People's Republic of China (including Diaoyu Islands and Suyan Reef), with a land territory of about 9.6 million square kilometers.

Maritime territory: The entire Bohai Sea and most of the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea, as well as the exclusive economic zones under their jurisdiction, totaling about 4.7 million square kilometers, of which all sea areas within the nine-dash line of the South China Sea are about 3 million square kilometers. China's airspace is 35 kilometers above its territory and territorial waters.

The coastline of the eastern and southern continents is more than 18,400 kilometers, the coastline of the islands is more than 14,000 kilometers, and the water area of the inland sea and the border sea is about 4.7 million square kilometers. There are 7,600 large and small islands in the sea area, of which Taiwan Island is the largest, about square kilometers. The land border is more than 20,000 kilometers long, and it is bordered by 14 countries on land and adjacent to 6 countries by sea.

Land area: The land area is 9.6 million square kilometers, accounting for about 1 15 of the world's total land area, which is slightly equivalent to the total area of European countries except the Soviet Union, and ranks third in the world after Russia (10,000 square kilometers) and Canada (10,000 square kilometers). [50] The eastern region accounted for the central region, and the western region accounted for the western region.

Land resources: 3.2 million square kilometers in mountains, 2.5 million square kilometers in plateaus,[50] 1.8 million square kilometers in basins, 1.15 million square kilometers in plains, and 950,000 square kilometers in hills (as of 1997).

When the Qing Dynasty was still in its heyday, there was a small state called the Kazakh Khanate, and they always hoped to submit to the Qing Dynasty, but Qianlong only replied with four words: each guarding the border. No way, later the Kazakh Khanate became the target of the tsar's encroachment, and later became an independent state after the Soviet rule.

It's just that what makes everyone wonder is that Kazakhstan has not invaded our territory, why did it take the initiative to return ten pieces of our territory after the founding of the country? In fact, at the very beginning, the traditional place of residence of Kazakhstan was in the Western Regions of ancient China, but at that time there was not a specific nation, and later because it was incorporated into the Golden Horde, and Mongolia was too large to maintain, it could only eventually collapse. Later, the Kazakh nation joined the Yuejibe Khanate, but it didn't take long for many tribes to be separated and gradually formed into the Kazakh nation, and later the Kazakh Khanate was formed, which also included large, medium and small Yuz.

At the very beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Dzungar Khanate appeared in Moxi, and later because of the expansion of aggressive ambitions, the Khanate chose to rely on Tsarist Russia, and then the Qing Dynasty eliminated the Dzungar regime, and Hasar was divided into two parts, one by the Qing Dynasty and the other by the Tsarist Russian regime. In 1847, because the last khan was betrayed, he finally died, and the Kazakh Khanate was destroyed. In October 1917, the Kazakh nation became independent, and in 1936, it became the first member state of the Soviet Union.

In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and Kazakhstan was formed. And inherited all the territory of the former Soviet Union and the tsarist period, but this led to the fact that they did not invade China, but there was a fact that they occupied Chinese territory. They expressed their willingness to return the territory and return all ten pieces of territory to China, with a total area of 1,248 square kilometers.

And their move has also been unanimously praised by the international community.
