There was a territorial dispute called "Zhenbao Island incident" between the Soviet Union and China back to 1969. The Island is on the Ussuri River on the border between Primorsky Krai, Russia, and Heilongjiang Province, China. Battles were fought with a considerable loss of life during the conflict.
Actually that little island between the two Malaysia is Indonesia's Natuna island, which makes Indonesia's EEZ also overlap with China's 9 dash line claim. So basically China is dealing with half ASEAN members in SCS dispute.
Fortunetely, China wouldnt really force their way with Natuna. China ship that cross that line have been sunk by Indonesia military and China havent retaliete in any kind of way
Great video! Here’s an interesting topic: border disputes between us states. there have surprisingly been a lot between many different states, some even almost resulted in war!
Most are pretty accurate, with the exception of Outer Mongolia. China's recognition of Outer Mongolia's independence didn't start with the Communist China, but with the Republic of China. Near the end of WW2, Outer Mongolia was effectively under Soviet control for over 20 years, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted the Soviet to guarantee that they won't support the Chinese Communist Party after the war. So he signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance with Stalin, officially giving up claims on Outer Mongolia in exchange for Soviet's support for him to remain as China's leader. That of course didn't happen, as the Soviet invaded Japanese controlled Manchuria and immediately transferred land and military assets to the Chinese communists. Although in reality, CKS had very little leverage on the issue, and even if he didn't recognized Outer Mongolia's independence, since Stalin wanted Outer Mongolia so much, the CCP themselves would probably have recognized Outer Mongolia's independence after winning the Chinese civil war.
@@questioningyoutubers177 Outer Mongolia wasn't controlled by the soviet, as much as rebel controlled Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine aren't controlled by Russia.
@Gamer Regardless of how independent you feel Mongolia was back then, the fact is Stalin said he wants Mongolia for the purpose of Russia's national security in 1945. Stalin felt that any attack launched from Mongolia could cut Moscow off from Siberia. It is basically the same reason Putin is spouting to justify his invasion of Ukraine. It means if Mongolia was to decide that it no longer wishes to be a Russian satellite, Stalin would have decided to annex it. That's why I consider Mongolia to be under Soviet control.
Actually not. Mongolia was under Soviet control and even several prime ministers were killed by Stalin. The first prime minister even slapped Stalin in the face.

Honestly those islands in SCS are nothing with china. Once they take over it, they will claim more and take more, until the world only has 1 country, which is China itself.
China's claiming so much in the south china sea that they are literally so close to Philippines motherland, and they have the guts to say that those parts near the PH sea belongs to them. They literally sank a local fishing boat.
China has one of the steadiest ethnic compositions in the world in which more than 93% of its population consists of Han Chinese hence they can count on demographic engineering as far as territorial disputes are concerned
@@eVill420 historically no Chinese called themselves Han, foreign/minority people did. this Han referred to all the people of the central plain (Middle Kingdom/China proper) which were/is diverse.

Most countries around China (Qing dynasty) were colonies so it make things weird. To be honest, we had many wars in Latin America because of the same reason. Nobody agree about the borders made by European empires ( but our countries probably wouldn't have existed in the first place without them or just would be more and smaller countries ). Countries as Philippines, India, etc are really created by Europeans.
it's not the same as Africa and Latin America. East Asia has never been fully colonized by European powers. the Chinese Dynasties have made their borders naturally like Europe, and China has expanded far beyond it's core Han territory.
What? Who told you that without the colonial powers we would have been much more divided? If anything, without colonialism most countries would be ethnically united
I think you overlooked or underplayed the soviet-Chinese border conflict over outer Manchuria in 1969, which almost led to full-scale war. While this was settled in 1991 between the USSR and PRC and Russia abides by the treaties, it is an issue that always can be reopened if the situation requires it.

10 years ago I was in school. A guy was seated next to me. One day I found a small piece of stone between us. We spent the next 3 years trying to claim it as our territory. Sadly, after many rounds of peace talk, negotiation and attempts to resolve the crisis the whole dispute was still not solved today.
@@GTX311 the dispute of the stone I found is very complicated. We held peace talks over it some 27 times yearly. We also sent our army to try to stake claims and perform Freedom of Navigation Operation by walking near to the stone.
5:29 Thanks for the explaining! In fact, there are hardliners in China who claim that Japan took not only these Senkaku Islands but also all of Okinawa (Ryukyu Islands) from China according to the same theory. They are sending activists in Okinawa to campaign for independence (actually making it like Tibet), which is not supported at all by the Okinawans that is a bit patriotic than other prefecture. Most of those independence activists states that Okinawa need "stationing Chinese troops for peace" nor "no defence, non-resistance", really wierd and SUS lol
I think it's more Japanese painting pro-independence Okinawans as Chinese agents than China actually sending activists. Chinese needs visa to visit Japan so how do you think those agents get in and operate freely on Okinawa?

Now that the US is waning and won’t be able to protect Japan in as short as 15 years, smart people are looking at new alliances. I assume you are Japanese so let me ask you this. Do you want Japan be the battleground in a future China-US war or do you want Guam, Wake, Midway, Hawaii, and Western Pacific be that battleground? Japan can fight to the last Japanese for America or it can join China and fight to push American back to their side of the Pacific.

Wikipedia has an error... Disputes on land include India and Bhutan. In fact, there was Pakistan in the past, but then a border agreement was signed. In Afghanistan, too, the Wakhan Corridor gave up its claim. Part of it was also ceded to North Korea, and few people know it.

Despite getting several disputes incorrect, the analysis of the China-Taiwan dispute was surprisingly accurate, as was the South China Sea dispute. Good job with those.
ROC claims same even bit more than RPC claims, like Taiwan claim South Tibet Xinjiang HK Macau Mongolia and 11dashline since 1911, Beijing claims 9dashline only since 1949.
Actually, as a Taiwanese, we don't care about what mentioned in the constitution (about the territory), cause it's impossible to take control of it, only some older generation thought Taiwan should be united with mainland China whatever using ROC or PRC. However, the biggest problem is how Taiwan can get rid of the awkward situation being ROC, cause we all see the situation that Hong Kong, Tibet (signed the peace agreement with Chinese government) are facing. Human Rights problem, freedom of speech and so on. So, as a person who born in Taiwan island, I consider myself as Taiwanese. And we're using Taiwan as the country's name to show the difference between China. BTW, World peace, Hope there's no war anymore, whether in Ukraine or future Taiwan.
You forgot to include Russia in your main map. Furthermore, although China has no territory disputes with South Korea and Indonesia, but China does have some disputes with these two countries over their overlapping EEZ claims.

Roc is an island, so it’s impossible to have territorial disputes unless on the island itself. China also claims Taiwan, because the Taiwanese ran away from their overlord in mainland China.

The first time I've heard of the South China Sea dispute was when I was spending the summer in California with my relatives around 2018 or 2019. My [paternal] grandmother was watching the Vietnamese news and explained to me how China is illegally claiming, constructing, and militarizing islands, some of which belong to Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, and Taiwan, and recognized by the US and UN as international territory. I used to think Vietnam and China were allies due to both countries being socialist and communist from Soviet influence. While they do trade with each other, I later learned that the relationship between the two is sour because of the territorial dispute (not to mention China's invasion of Vietnam in 1979), and how Vietnam is more friendly (economically and diplomatically) to the US and other Western countries.
China is rather creative with it's claims. I think the strangest one is the one with India. Using old Nepalese claims that had been resolved as excuse for what China now wants.
That’s why you don’t let people from a completely different region draw your borders, it should be two groups of people that dominate a certain region coming together and forming boundaries, because it’s the society we live in.
You didn't get you story straight or you're only reading the story from Japan regarding the Diaoyu Island: Japan invaded the island until its surrender at the end of World War II. The United States administered the islands as part of the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands from 1945 until 1972, when the islands returned to Japanese control under the Okinawa Reversion Agreement between the United States and Japan.

Most of the borders were formed in the 19th-20th century. Strictly speaking, the Qing Dynasty (like Mongolian Yuan Dynasty) was a foreign nation that ruled China, not the traditional Chinese dynasty. These territorial disputes are not historical issues, but recent issues arising from modern treaties. They interpret history in their own way to assert legitimacy.
That's like saying the Kingdom of England was ruled by foreign nations since they had the Duke of Normandy and Stadtholder of the Netherland as monarchs.
The mongols never really Sinicized themselves enough to become Chinese, but the Manchus did assimilate themselves into China, so they were no longer foreign.
Qing dynasty China also owes the US 1 trillion dollars in bonds, so if the CCP claims to be the real successor Chinese state maybe they should start paying for the tab first.

1:39 Tibet was actually part of Qing China but declared independence when Qing fell. Looking WAYY back, Tibet was actually incoparated into China in the Tang dynasty, about 900-1000 AD, so technically they couldn't have relations with Bhutan, unless you're telling me they managed to establish a close relation from 1912 to 1949.
Tibet really wasn't part of the Qing or even any Chinese dynasty beforehand, more so a protectorate under the Chinese tributary system for centuries. As China was constantly at war with itself as usual, keeping direct control over such a mountainous region is near impossible. Ties between the Kings of Bhutan and the Khans & Dalai Lama's of Tibet was well established. Even Bhutan gets its name from Tibet, in Sanskrit it means "End of Tibet"
Historically No Tibet had never been part of any native Chinese dynasty. There are only 2 times when tibet was incorporated into China that is at the time of YUAN and QING both of which were founded by people foreign to China ie Mongols and Manchus
You forgot to add the Arbitration Ruling of the Philippine vs China of UNCLOS in the Hague which makes the 9 dash line claim in the South China Sea null and void.

If China had not disputed the Japanese claim from the very beginning, then the U.S. wouldn't have needed to adopt "administrative rights" over the islands following WWII and wouldn't have needed to pass these administrative rights to Japan in the 1970s (the real reason why China took more of an interest in the islands at this time, as it appeared that the U.S. was attempting to give Japan a legitimate claim over the islands). Lastly, if the islands belonged to Japan, then they wouldn't have needed to "nationalize" (attempt to annex) them in 2012.

China has one of the steadiest ethnic compositions in the world in which more than 93% of its population consists of Han Chinese hence they can count on demographic engineering as far as territorial disputes are concerned
I wonder if those Han chinese are going to split into 2 ethnicities eventually
Sinicization policies :/
Taiwan has 97% Han Chinese :|
@@eVill420 historically no Chinese called themselves Han, foreign/minority people did. this Han referred to all the people of the central plain (Middle Kingdom/China proper) which were/is diverse. Chinse themselves referred to themselves as their clan/province/kingdom names such as people of Wu/Chu/Qin or people of Chang'an city/Beijing city. collectively they all do identify as Hua (people of Xia dynasty) also they all trace themselves as the decedents of the flame and yellow emperor this would include the Yue people which also includes Vietnam.
@@papazataklaattiranimam which were proven effective by the emperor of Qin, and unity is universally understood by effective leaderships. a house divided cannot stand.
Most countries around China (Qing dynasty) were colonies so it make things weird. To be honest, we had many wars in Latin America because of the same reason. Nobody agree about the borders made by European empires ( but our countries probably wouldn't have existed in the first place without them or just would be more and smaller countries ). Countries as Philippines, India, etc are really created by Europeans.
America too
it's not the same as Africa and Latin America. East Asia has never been fully colonized by European powers. the Chinese Dynasties have made their borders naturally like Europe, and China has expanded far beyond it's core Han territory.
A balenced look at colonialism, what a rarity
What? Who told you that without the colonial powers we would have been much more divided? If anything, without colonialism most countries would be ethnically united
Only 30-40% credit goes to British,most Indian territories were joined to India by agreements.
I think you overlooked or underplayed the soviet-Chinese border conflict over outer Manchuria in 1969, which almost led to full-scale war. While this was settled in 1991 between the USSR and PRC and Russia abides by the treaties, it is an issue that always can be reopened if the situation requires it.
The title should be: Which are the few countries that do not have territorial disputes with China
Are you kidding?
Congrats on your videos
for south chinese sea dispute now, they including Indonesia within it, Indonesia posses Natuna Island, and that they start to claim as their in the past, curently my country Indonesia not using south chinese sea as the name of sea on that area but north natuna sea. currently for Internasional worldmap they still using south chinese sea as name.
10 years ago I was in school. A guy was seated next to me. One day I found a small piece of stone between us. We spent the next 3 years trying to claim it as our territory.
Sadly, after many rounds of peace talk, negotiation and attempts to resolve the crisis the whole dispute was still not solved today.
lol
Someone kicked it out and then the claims turned nonsense?

On the other hand, some of the territorial disputes mentioned in the video are not as simple as that dispute you have over the rock you found.

In fact, there are hardliners in China who claim that Japan took not only these Senkaku Islands but also all of Okinawa (Ryukyu Islands) from China according to the same theory.
They are sending activists in Okinawa to campaign for independence (actually making it like Tibet), which is not supported at all by the Okinawans that is a bit patriotic than other prefecture.
Most of those independence activists states that Okinawa need "stationing Chinese troops for peace" nor "no defence, non-resistance", really wierd and SUS lol
I think it's more Japanese painting pro-independence Okinawans as Chinese agents than China actually sending activists. Chinese needs visa to visit Japan so how do you think those agents get in and operate freely on Okinawa?

@@権兵衛-e8u You know why those people favor China over the US? It’s the same reason Japan have been the US’ vanguard in Asia for the past 80 years.
People and country that are strong and wealthy automatically attracts followers and admirers. Japan let the US station troops way past WW2 to protect it from the Soviet Union.
Now that the US is waning and won’t be able to protect Japan in as short as 15 years, smart people are looking at new alliances.
I assume you are Japanese so let me ask you this. Do you want Japan be the battleground in a future China-US war or do you want Guam, Wake, Midway, Hawaii, and Western Pacific be that battleground? Japan can fight to the last Japanese for America or it can join China and fight to push American back to their side of the Pacific. That choice is coming up for a lot of nations and smarter nations are always making plans

Disputes on land include India and Bhutan. In fact, there was Pakistan in the past, but then a border agreement was signed. In Afghanistan, too, the Wakhan Corridor gave up its claim. Part of it was also ceded to North Korea, and few people know it.

Despite getting several disputes incorrect, the analysis of the China-Taiwan dispute was surprisingly accurate, as was the South China Sea dispute. Good job with those.
ROC claims same even bit more than RPC claims, like Taiwan claim South Tibet Xinjiang HK Macau Mongolia and 11dashline since 1911, Beijing claims 9dashline only since 1949.
Actually, as a Taiwanese, we don't care about what mentioned in the constitution (about the territory), cause it's impossible to take control of it, only some older generation thought Taiwan should be united with mainland China whatever using ROC or PRC. However, the biggest problem is how Taiwan can get rid of the awkward situation being ROC, cause we all see the situation that Hong Kong, Tibet (signed the peace agreement with Chinese government) are facing. Human Rights problem, freedom of speech and so on.
So, as a person who born in Taiwan island, I consider myself as Taiwanese. And we're using Taiwan as the country's name to show the difference between China.
BTW, World peace, Hope there's no war anymore, whether in Ukraine or future Taiwan.

Roc is an island, so it’s impossible to have territorial disputes unless on the island itself. China also claims Taiwan, because the Taiwanese ran away from their overlord in mainland China.

Just call it the SEA SEA, or Southeast Asian Sea, where we use seabucks for our currency
The first time I've heard of the South China Sea dispute was when I was spending the summer in California with my relatives around 2018 or 2019. My [paternal] grandmother was watching the Vietnamese news and explained to me how China is illegally claiming, constructing, and militarizing islands, some of which belong to Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, and Taiwan, and recognized by the US and UN as international territory. I used to think Vietnam and China were allies due to both countries being socialist and communist from Soviet influence. While they do trade with each other, I later learned that the relationship between the two is sour because of the territorial dispute (not to mention China's invasion of Vietnam in 1979), and how Vietnam is more friendly (economically and diplomatically) to the US and other Western countries.
China is rather creative with it's claims. I think the strangest one is the one with India. Using old Nepalese claims that had been resolved as excuse for what China now wants.
That’s why you don’t let people from a completely different region draw your borders, it should be two groups of people that dominate a certain region coming together and forming boundaries, because it’s the society we live in.

You didn't get you story straight or you're only reading the story from Japan regarding the Diaoyu Island:
Japan invaded the island until its surrender at the end of World War II.

There are the Chinese territories in the north that they lost to the Russian Empire around the time of the Boxer 'Rebellion''
Most of the borders were formed in the 19th-20th century. Strictly speaking, the Qing Dynasty (like Mongolian Yuan Dynasty) was a foreign nation that ruled China, not the traditional Chinese dynasty. These territorial disputes are not historical issues, but recent issues arising from modern treaties. They interpret history in their own way to assert legitimacy.
That's like saying the Kingdom of England was ruled by foreign nations since they had the Duke of Normandy and Stadtholder of the Netherland as monarchs.
The mongols never really Sinicized themselves enough to become Chinese, but the Manchus did assimilate themselves into China, so they were no longer foreign.

Tibet was actually part of Qing China but declared independence when Qing fell. Looking WAYY back, Tibet was actually incoparated into China in the Tang dynasty, about 900-1000 AD, so technically they couldn't have relations with Bhutan, unless you're telling me they managed to establish a close relation from 1912 to 1949.
Tibet really wasn't part of the Qing or even any Chinese dynasty beforehand, more so a protectorate under the Chinese tributary system for centuries. As China was constantly at war with itself as usual, keeping direct control over such a mountainous region is near impossible.
Ties between the Kings of Bhutan and the Khans & Dalai Lama's of Tibet was well established.

The Diaoyu/Senkakku islands were only discussed in the context of Japanese propaganda. If the Japanese claim that the islands were claimed by "no one" in the late 1800s, then Japan wouldn't have had to annex them from China during WWII. If China had not disputed the Japanese claim from the very beginning, then the U.S. wouldn't have needed to adopt "administrative rights" over the islands following WWII and wouldn't have needed to pass these administrative rights to Japan in the 1970s (the real reason why China took more of an interest in the islands at this time, as it appeared that the U.S. was attempting to give Japan a legitimate claim over the islands). Lastly, if the islands belonged to Japan, then they wouldn't have needed to "nationalize" (attempt to annex) them in 2012.

I dislike how you refer to Tibet as occupied, its like calling Florida occupied by the US, like technically, yes, it is "occupied" but the term typically has connotations of the region not being fully incorporated and all rule over it being externally applied, which does not apply to Tibet and Florida.
Truth hurts doesn’t it? Tibet is occupied territory, period. To say otherwise is ignorant of facts
@@Tony_417 which facts is that?
@@PowersOfDarkness idk man, maybe the people who lives in Florida are americans. Then we have Tibet where Tibetans live and was invaded by chinese. I don't know man, maybe the FACTS aren't really OBVIOUS enough. I just don't know.
@@tirptirp Tibetans are Chinese, just as Han are, Chinese is a larger term, a national term, Tibetan and Han are ethnic terms.
@@tirptirp Are you saying people cant be occupied by people of the same color? or that automatically any nation where the people arent all just one color then obviously one is in control and all others are occupied?
You made a spelling mistake in the timestamps
Ah yes, China building Military bases literally closer than the Philippines than their own country, what a beautiful world to live in ☺️
If you think that is crazy, take a look at the map of US military bases around the world.
@@haoyangluo7087 atleast the us built them with permission and most of them wanted them there unlike china who is building bases in other countries without permission.
@@Ironfuckoff01 1. the US forced japan into trade with naval power, and then built bases in it a few decades later
2. china didnt build them IN other countries, but near them in their own borders idiot
3. can tell ur a "america is the best country ever" type of guy, let me just shut you down, yall aint even as good as canada and it SUCKS up here
@@haoyangluo7087 those countries permitted US though. China just built their artificial island without resolving the dispute. I'm wondering how they coped up when average of 20 typhoons were visiting Philippines.
@Equinodium Lezarouxe So you invite China's enemies to your house and blame China for strengthening its defense
The south china seas dispute, is the most ridiculous claim
