Aksai Chin area is mainly Aksai Chin Basin, with an average elevation above 4, meters, with gentle terrain. There are mountain passes leading to Ladakh area, and many internal rivers, such as Aksai Chin Lake, and the Kalakash River, an important tributary of Tarim River, also originates from this area. Why does India care about China's Aksai Chin?

Aksai Chin is the only place to enter Tibet from Xinjiang. The Mongolian army in the Yuan Dynasty and the tea ceremony Buddha in Junggar in the early Qing Dynasty all entered Tibet from Aksai Chin. The extension bureau was established here in Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty. After Britain annexed Jammu-Kashmir in 1846, it claimed that Ladakh (an area originally under the jurisdiction of the local government of China and Tibet, and later occupied by the Sikh Empire and Kashmir) should be ruled by the British and Indian governments.

Britain occupied Ladakh without the consent of the Qing government. Since the Qing dynasty, China has never recognized the occupied Ladakh as a foreign country. Later, in demarcating the boundary between Ladakh and Tibet, in order to find a shortcut to invade China's hinterland of Xinjiang, the British invaders sent Johnson, an official of the Indian Survey Bureau, to sneak into southern Xinjiang in 1865, from Ladakh to Aksai Chin and finally to Hotan, Xinjiang. Through "reconnaissance", a boundary line was drawn, which is the Johnson Line.

This line allocated nearly 3, square kilometers of land including Aksai Chin to British India, making Aksai Chin a part of British-Indian Kashmir, but the British government did not know about the Qing government at that time. In the late 195s, China built a new Tibet highway in Aksai Chin area, which caused Nehru's dissatisfaction. Based on the unfounded so-called Johnson Line, India flatly claimed the territory of Aksai Chin, which led to the disharmony in the western section of the border between China and India.

The significance of Aksai Chin is that it is the only way from Xinjiang to Tibet. If China loses Aksai Chin, the land connection between Xinjiang and Tibet will be cut off, so it is absolutely impossible for China to cede Aksai Chin. Geographically speaking, Aksai Chin is not the commanding height of Central Asia. The commanding height of Central Asia is on the Green Ridge (Pamirs). To occupy Aksai Chin, it takes two mountains (Karakorum Mountain and Himalaya Mountain) to threaten India. Therefore, the so-called claim that occupying Aksai Chin can threaten India is not valid. The significance of this area to China is far greater than that to India. Indian considers Galban Valley as a part of Aksai Chin. In November 219, India released a political map with border details, showing that Aksai Chin is part of India's Ladakh state. India strongly insists that Aksai Chin is "an inalienable part of Kashmir" and has retained representatives of the region in the state legislature.

India has been making trouble on the western border. The breakthrough is to enter Aksai Chin's two passages, the Galwan River and the Bangong Cuo Lake.

Senior Colonel Zhang Shuili, spokesman of the Western Theater, issued a statement on the conflict between Chinese and Indian border guards in the Galwan River Valley: On the evening of June 15th, in the Galwan River Valley on the Sino-Indian border, the Indian army broke its promise and illegally crossed the line of actual control again, deliberately launching provocative attacks, which triggered fierce physical conflicts between the two sides, causing casualties. The sovereignty of the Galwan Valley has always belonged to me.

Indian border guards reneged on their words, which seriously violated the agreement on border issues between the two countries, violated the understanding of Sino-Indian talks at the commander level, and seriously damaged the relations between the two armies and the feelings of the two peoples. We demand that India strictly restrain the frontline troops, immediately stop all acts of infringement and provocation, go hand in hand with China and return to the correct track of dialogue and talks to resolve differences.
