Which country does Ladakh belong to?

Historically, it is a part of Tibet in China, located in the southeast of Kashmir. It is a disputed area and does not belong to the country. The Pakistani-controlled area of Kashmir accounts for about two-fifths of the total area, with a population of about a quarter, and the rest is controlled by India.

1In the summer of 846, Britain unilaterally demarcated the eastern border of Jammu-Kashmir without the participation of representatives of the Qing Dynasty, and incorporated Ladakh into Kashmir territory. The Ladakh Kingdom, which surrendered to Jammu-Kashmir, was formally incorporated into Kashmir.

Ladakh territorial dispute

The Indian side once claimed that the western section of the Sino-Indian border was demarcated as early as 65438+1940s, which was refuted by the Chinese side. To this day, the demarcation between China and India is still pending.

2065438+On August 6, 2009, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying said that China has always opposed India's inclusion of China territory (Baishitan, transliteration of Aksai Chin) in the western section of the Sino-Indian border into India's administrative jurisdiction. ?

This position is firm and consistent and has never changed. Recently, India has continued to undermine China's territorial sovereignty by unilaterally amending its domestic laws, which is unacceptable and will have no effect. We urge India to be cautious on the border issue, strictly abide by the relevant agreements reached between the two sides, and avoid taking actions that further complicate the border issue.
