Historically, where did the westernmost stretch of China s borders?

During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, the world's only megacity with a population of one million, was created, and the population of the major European city-states at that time was only about 100,000. During the Tang Dynasty, there were a lot of foreigners in China, and there was an endless stream of business and trade teams, and there were even foreigners who served as officials in China, and Chang'an became the focus of world economy and politics at that time.

A strong economy naturally gives birth to strong military and diplomatic hard power, which is recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian": Jiayin in December of the seventh year of Zhenguan. On the lucky hibiscus garden, return to the palace at noon.

From the emperor (referring to Tang Gaozu, who had given way at that time) to the old Han Weiyang Palace. The Emperor ordered the Turkic Jieli Khan to dance. He also ordered the Nanban chieftain Feng Zhi to wear Yongshi.

After all, the Turkic Khan is also a great khan, let the family dance, and the Nanban chieftain recites poetry, how powerful is this.

According to the "Old Tang Book", in 661 AD, the Arabs invaded the Sassanid Dynasty of Persia, the latter was destroyed, and the prince of the last emperor, Balus, went to Chang'an to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty, asking Tang Gaozong to send troops to resist the invasion of the Arabs and recapture the homeland. The Tang Dynasty was fighting a war on the Korean Peninsula at this time, and the whip was beyond reach.

So Tang Gaozong ordered someone to escort Balus back to the area of present-day Stansistan, Afghanistan, and helped him establish the Persian Governorate, which was under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Governorate. A year later, Tang Gaozong canonized Belus as king of Persia. But later, it was destroyed by the Allah Empire.

In 670 AD, Belus came to Chang'an again, and Tang Gaozong awarded him the right Weiwei general. The Persian Governorate was the westernmost part of China's history.

In the following decades, the Arab Empire gradually became stronger, and the Tang Dynasty's repeated wars against Tibet and Baekje Silla led to the Tang Dynasty's defeat in the Battle of Talas, and the Tang Dynasty gradually lost its ability to rule Central Asia. On the whole, the Tang Dynasty can be called the dynasty with the largest territory in Chinese history (the Yuan Dynasty was mostly a Siberian no man's land), and its political and economic strength can also be called the largest in all dynasties.

The newest border in history was during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, China's westernmost border was deep in Central Europe. All the way to Moldavia, east of the Carpathians, and Wallachia, on the north bank of the lower Danube.

Historically, the westernmost part of China's borders stretched to the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan, but it did not last long.

Extended Information: China is located in the east of Asia, on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. It starts from the center of the Heilongjiang River near the Mohe River in the north and reaches the dark sand of Zengmu in the Nansha Islands in the south. It stretches from the Pamir Plateau in the west to the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers in the east. The land area is 9.6 million square kilometers, and the land border is more than 20,000 kilometers.

The territorial sea consists of the Bohai Sea (inland sea) and the three major border seas of the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and the coastline of the eastern and southern continents is 10,000 kilometers. 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, with an area of 35,798 square kilometers.

The Bohai Sea is located in the Bohai Strait from Laotieshanjiao on the Liaodong Peninsula to Penglaijiao on the north coast of the Shandong Peninsula, communicating with the waters of the Yellow Sea, with the mouth of the Miaodao Islands and the mouth of the gorge, with an area of 10,000 square kilometers, an average water depth of 18 meters, and a maximum depth of 70 meters.

The Yellow Sea stretches from the mouth of the Yalu River in the north, divides the East China Sea with the north shore of the Yangtze River estuary to Jeju Island in the south, and connects with the Bohai Sea in the west by the Bohai Strait. The average water depth is 44 meters, the deepest depth is 140 meters, the area is 380,000 square kilometers, and the seabed is a semi-enclosed shallow sea continental shelf.

The seabed of the South China Sea is a huge ocean basin, and the mountains of the sea basin are China's Dongsha, Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha Islands, which are the natural extension of the shelf of Chinese mainland. The total area of the South China Sea is 3.5 million square kilometers.

The western end of our country borders Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and it is located in the western part of our Pamirs.

China's territory has been evolving and changing since ancient times, starting from Kyushu in "Shangshu Yugong" until the People's Republic of China became the shape of a "rooster". It has been developed over thousands of years. The present-day People's Republic of China is bordered by Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar to the south; It is bordered by India, Bhutan and Nepal in the southwest; Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan to the west; It borders Mongolia due north; In the northeast, it borders Russia and North Korea; It faces Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and other countries across the sea.

China's land borders are about 10,000 kilometers long, the coastline is more than 10,000 kilometers long, and there are islands and shores of more than 10,000 kilometers. According to the Declaration of the People's Republic of China on the Territorial Sea of 4 September 1958, the width of China's territorial sea is 12 nautical miles. After 1840, the imperialist powers carved up China one after another.

Since then, China's territory has been divided, leaving behind many boundary issues involving China's sovereignty and fundamental interests. These problems are prominently manifested in the Sino-Russian border, the Sino-Indian border, the Sino-Vietnamese border, and the maritime geographical frontier. China is located in the east of Asia, on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean.

The territory starts from the dark sand of Zengmu in the south to the Heilongjiang River near the Mohe River in the north; From the Pamir Plateau in the west to the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers in the east. The land area is about 9.6 million square kilometers, the coastline of the eastern and southern continents is more than 10,000 kilometers, and the water area of the inland sea and the border sea is about 4.7 million square kilometers. China shares borders with 14 countries and is maritime adjacent to 8 countries

It is bordered by North Korea in the northeast, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the northeast and northwest, Mongolia in the north, Afghanistan and Pakistan in the west, India, Nepal and Bhutan in the southwest, and Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam in the south.

The westernmost part of our country is the Pamir Plateau, so it is adjacent to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

The westernmost point is the Pamirs, which borders Afghanistan. The Pamirs are covered with snow all year round, and the PLA soldiers are very hard.

The westernmost point of China is in the Pamir Plateau of Xinjiang (73°E).

The bordering countries are: Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan.

China's westernmost border borders the state of Nepal.

Over the past 50 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the guidance of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and the foreign policy of good-neighborliness and friendship, China has gradually and steadily resolved the border issues left over from history with most of its neighbors through unremitting efforts. By the end of 2004, China had signed border treaties or agreements with 12 neighbouring countries, and the demarcated borders accounted for about 90 per cent of the total length of China's land borders.

The resolution of China's border issue is mainly concentrated in two periods: first, in the 60s of the last century, we signed border treaties or agreements with Myanmar, Nepal, Mongolia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other countries; The other is that since the 90s of the last century, we have resolved border issues with Russia, Laos and Vietnam, as well as with the newly independent countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
