In recent years, the Sino-Indian border issue has attracted much attention. Among them, the so-called "Ladakh ** Territory" unilaterally and illegally established by India has attracted widespread attention. However, China has never recognized the question of the ownership of this region. In this article, we will elaborate on the reasons for China's refusal to recognize the so-called "Ladakh Territory" unilaterally and illegally established by India from the historical, geographical, international and political aspects.
1. Historical background.
The Ladakh region is located in the southeast of Kashmir and has historically been a Chinese territory. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the Ladakh region established ties with China. Since then, after the change of dynasties, the Ladakh region has been under the jurisdiction of China. However, at the end of the 19th century, when the British colonized Kashmir, they included Ladakh in Kashmir. Although India** inherited British rule after independence, China has never recognized India's jurisdiction over the Ladakh region.
2. Geographical factors.
The Ladakh region is located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, with a cold terrain and complex terrain. The area is predominantly inhabited by Tibetans who have close ties to Tibetans in China. From a geographical point of view, the Ladakh region has a similar natural environment to China's ** region, belongs to the alpine region, and has similar geographical characteristics and climatic conditions. Therefore, from a geographical point of view, the Ladakh region should be more part of China's territory.
International law.
According to international law, the territory of a country must have fixed natural borders and population. The so-called "Ladakh** Territory" unilaterally established by India has neither fixed natural borders nor fixed populations. In addition, respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States is one of the basic principles of international law, according to the Charter of the United Nations and other international law documents. Therefore, the so-called "Ladakh** Territory" unilaterally established by India is not in accordance with the provisions of international law.
Fourth, political factors.
In recent years, India has been politically tightening its grip on the so-called "Ladakh Territory". The region has become an important base for India's strategy of "Hindu nationalism" and "Greater Indian Federation". India** has implemented a series of policies in the region that benefit local residents, including financial subsidies, education, health care and other incentives. In addition, India has sought to tighten its grip on the region by promoting Indian culture and language in the so-called "Ladakh** Territory". These actions have caused discontent and resistance from local residents, and have also deepened the territorial dispute between China and India.
To sum up, China has never recognized the so-called "Ladakh** Territory" unilaterally and illegally established by India. From the historical, geographical, international and political perspectives, this area belongs to Chinese territory. However, due to territorial disputes and political tensions between China and India, the question of the ownership of the region has not been properly resolved. In order to safeguard the friendly relations and territorial integrity between the two countries, the two sides should resolve this issue through dialogue and consultation. At the same time, the international community should also pay attention to the development of this issue and play an active role in promoting cooperation and development between China and India.
