The territory is returned, the neighboring countries intervene, and we will not give up an inch of land
The world's path of development is full of peace and war. In times of peace, nations live in harmony; And in the years of war, the war brought not only death, but also reparations and territorial cession after defeat.
Once the territory is ceded out, it is difficult to fully recover it even after the war is over. In modern times, as a result of wars, many of our territories have either been colonized by foreign powers or have been interfered with by other countries and belonged to other countries.
However, with the increase in our national strength and the influence of various other factors, part of the territory has been returned. For example, in the last century, 6,000 square kilometers of territory were returned, but the road to return was not smooth and was repeatedly intervened by neighboring countries.
Our attitude has always been firm: not an inch of land.
The Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in our country, was considered weak by many. However, in fact, in the early and even middle years of the Qing Dynasty, it was a very powerful state, not only in various fields such as culture, but also in the territory of the country.
Since the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty's territory began to expand, and it was not until the Qianlong Emperor that the territory surpassed today's land area. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, it began to be invaded by foreign powers from the mid-19th century due to the excessive emphasis on economy and culture and the neglect of the construction of national defense and armed forces.
The aggressors forced the opening of our coastal economic zones, which led to an influx of foreign goods, dealing a blow to domestic commerce and economy, and plundering wealth. In addition, other border areas in the interior were also occupied by foreign powers, such as the Karakoram Corridor, which is now jointly managed by Xinjiang and the ** Autonomous Region.
Although the Karakoram Corridor is high and unsuitable for human habitation, it acts as a natural barrier in the border area. However, in the 60s of the 19th century, the British already ruled India as a colony, and as a result, they aspired to a larger colonial area.
To this end, they forcibly intervened and assigned the Karakoram Corridor to India. Since then, our country has lost control of this place.
The ownership of the Karakoram Corridor has undergone many changes. The decline of Britain led to the loss of colonial rule over India, and India and Pakistan became independent. Under the guidance of the Mountbatten Plan, India and Pakistan have begun to administer the region jointly, and our territorial ownership appears to have been lost.
However, in the forties and sixties of the last century, conflicts broke out between India and Pakistan over territorial disputes. Although India has a comparative advantage in terms of overall strength and has the support of other countries behind it, Pakistan appears to be isolated.
Pakistan turned to our country at a critical juncture, and as a gesture of goodwill, we signed a border agreement in 1963 to return the Karakoram Corridor to us.
Although the restitution process was complicated by Indian intervention and disputes, the territory, which had been separated for a century, was eventually returned to the bosom of the motherland. India claims that the Karakoram Corridor belongs to them, but this is nonsense.
Because the Karakoram Corridor was already part of Pakistan when Pakistan became independent in 1947, and neither India nor Britain objected to it.
Thanks to Pakistan's active efforts, the Karakoram Corridor was finally returned to our country. We have a firm determination not to concede an inch of territory in the face of territorial encroachment. Although India had some undesirable ideas at the instigation of Western countries, there was still a gap between our strength and that of Western countries at that time.
However, the bargaining chip in the negotiations is always strength. India's national strength is slightly insufficient compared with ours, and although they are unwilling to face Pakistan's request for restitution, they have no choice but to fight for it.
This is a matter between our country and Pakistan, and India has no right to meddle.
Of course, strength cannot change the status quo, but you still need to stick to your position in words. India has always been unhappy with this place, not only does it not recognize the question of ownership, but it often attacks on the land, but we rarely hear our response because the Karakoram Corridor has been owned by our country since 1963, and it is not in name, but we actually manage the area.
Although now that we have regained this territory, we still cannot take it lightly. Historically, the cession of the Karakoram Corridor was precisely because of the weakening of the national strength at that time and the inability to refuse in the face of the unreasonable demands of the powerful countries, which led to the later territorial disputes.
Strength creates dignity, and national strength determines status. Regardless of the controversy, our country has always maintained a tough attitude because we have the strength to back it up. In the same way, we are well aware that a country like India cannot change our position and cannot snatch our territory.
In recent history, our country has suffered humiliation and was forced to cede land and pay reparations, but that is only in the past. Today, our country is powerful and has everything of its own, and no country can snatch our territory away.
Because, without the recognition of our country, the literal commitment is invalid, like waste paper. The territory of the Karakoram Corridor, despite the bumpy road to return, ultimately belongs to our country.
Because we have the strength to defend our territory and the determination to preserve our dignity. In general, strength and national strength are the foundation of national status and dignity, and no country can easily shake it.
It is no accident that the territory that was originally ceded by the intervention of other countries has been returned, and behind it is the steady increase in the country's strength. When national strength reaches a certain level, other countries will naturally give due respect and will not easily provoke or compete for land.
Therefore, the young people of the present generation should go all out to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Note: **Originated from the Internet, if copyright issues are involved, please contact to delete.
