A forgotten country, a peaceful contest over territory.
Tajikistan may be an unfamiliar name in the eyes of most Chinese people, and the geographical location of this country, or even where it is in our country, may not be known. However, this country, which exists in the international silence, once took the initiative to return part of our territory, and there is no territorial dispute with China.
As we all know, our country lost most of its territory during the Second World War, and due to the poor state of war readiness at that time, we had no choice but to sign a number of unequal land reparation treaties. The territorial disputes related to Tajikistan are mainly concentrated in the Pamirs.
The Pamir Plateau is located in the Xinjiang region of China, with steep terrain, many valleys and high mountains, and the world's second largest peak stands in it, forming eight small ridges. Due to the unsuitable terrain for the development of farming, this area has become almost a paradise for nomads. In the long-term war between Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and Dzungaria, the Pamir Plateau belonged to China.
However, Russia shares a border with our country, and clashes often break out on the border between the two countries. Russia wanted more land, while the Qing dynasty was committed to defending its interests. Russia regards the Pamirs as a piece of fat and is looking forward to expanding its borders. In the 17th century, Russia marched southward and met our country in what is now the black soil of the northeast.
During the Kangxi period, the Qing Dynasty made up its mind to solve the military threat to the northeast region. After three years of war, the two sides signed a treaty that would never be invaded, clearly demarcating the border between China and Russia. However, Russia has not always complied with this agreement and continues to violate our territory in areas where there are no clear treaty provisions.
During the Yongzheng period, Russia signed two Yin-Yang treaties through stratagem, which caused the Qing Dynasty to lose a large amount of territory at the end of the Qing Dynasty. After the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty was unable to maintain territorial stability, and Russia took the opportunity to occupy many territories in our country. Between the Second Opium War and Japan's defeat, China lost more than 1.2 million square kilometers of land, including the Pamirs.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Pamirs became Tajikistan. At the end of the twentieth century, friendly negotiations began between our country and Tajikistan, which resulted in the peaceful return of 1,158 square kilometers of our territory. This move by Tajikistan demonstrates the spirit of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia became another superpower in the 20th century in addition to the United States, but its vast architecture eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Pamirs regained their independence as an independent state, namely Tajikistan.
Although we have lost almost 30,000 square kilometres of land in the process, we have signed an agreement with Tajikistan not to pursue other territorial issues under the principle of peaceful coexistence. This also reflects China's position that it has always adhered to the strategy of peaceful development and will never infringe on the rights and interests of other countries.
Today, relations between China and Tajikistan are deep, and although Tajikistan is one of the smallest countries in Central Asia, it is still a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and maintains close cooperation with China.
Tajikistan's initiative to return its territory is a testimony to the friendly relations between China and Tajikistan. Although Japan has lost a large amount of territory in history, we have succeeded in returning part of it through friendly consultations, reflecting the concept of long-term interests and peaceful development.
Whether other lost ground can be recouped in the future involves complex geopolitics and international relations. However, as a strong and responsible country, we should adhere to the principle of peaceful development, resolve disputes through cooperation and negotiation, and achieve long-term prosperity and stability of the country.
Selfless restitution and peaceful development: Tajikistan's story provokes thought.
In this article, we review the history of Tajikistan with our country, the dispute over the Pamirs, and the return of territories by Tajikistan on its own initiative. Through this process, we have reflected on the importance of peaceful development and upholding the principles of justice and cooperation in international affairs. I hope that through this story, it can trigger more deep thinking about international relations and peaceful coexistence.
The article recounts in detail the history of the Pamirs between Tajikistan and our country, as well as the story behind the voluntary return of the territory by Tajikistan. This story is thought-provoking and can't help but make me feel some deep feelings about international relations and peaceful development.
First of all, I would like to express my admiration at Tajikistan's initiative to return its territory. In this world of competition and disputes, Tajikistan has chosen to resolve its territorial disputes through negotiation and amicable means rather than by forceful or conflictual means. This kind of mind and wisdom is worth learning from Xi. Resolving disputes through peaceful means not only contributes to maintaining stability in the region, but also sets a positive example for the international community.
Secondly, the article mentions that our country has historically lost a significant amount of territory, but through friendly consultations with Tajikistan, it managed to return part of it. This practice of settling disputes by peaceful means is in line with the concept of peaceful development that China has always pursued. In international affairs, China has always emphasized resolving disputes through dialogue and cooperation and promoting common prosperity. This also reflects the responsible attitude of a country in the process of rising, not only pursuing its own interests, but also paying more attention to the harmonious development of the region and the world.
It is noteworthy that although our country has lost a large part of its territory, it has maintained a relatively flexible position in the return of part of it. Considering the relatively small size of Tajikistan, the abandonment of all its territory could have a fatal impact on its development. This flexible and modest attitude has laid a solid foundation for the friendly relations between the two countries. This also reminds us that in international relations, we should not only pursue our own interests, but also take into account each other's needs and development, and achieve long-term cooperation through a win-win approach.
Finally, I have some thoughts on the discussion in the article about whether it will be possible to regain other lost ground in the future. International affairs are fraught with variables, and achieving the return of territories often requires more complex negotiations and consultations. However, it is very wise to call on us to adhere to the principle of peaceful development and resolve disputes through cooperation and negotiation. In today's globalized world, countries are interdependent, and resolving disputes through dialogue and cooperation is not only in line with the international trend, but also the only way to achieve common prosperity.
Overall, this article presents us with a story full of history and wisdom in simple terms. Through the example of Tajikistan, we see the possibility of peaceful settlement of disputes and common development, and we are more convinced that upholding the concept of peaceful development in global affairs will help build a better future.
