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!

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.
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.
UK ---- Myanmar, Nepal, India, Pakistan France ---- Vietnam US ---- Philippines Soviet Union- --- Mongolia Tsarist Russia--- Kazakhstan In Africa, the borders of many countries are even a straight line drawn by colonists on the map. It has led to many disputes, which also exists in Asia.
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.

@General Knowledge percentages don't add up at 9:10 (Kazakhstan). The Russian text says "70% to China, 30% to Kazakhstan" but you flipped it to 22% to China and 78% to Kazakhstan. Not sure which is correct.
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

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

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
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.

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.
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.
I think China have border dispute in Nepal regarding Mt Everest then they reserve it by China taking north side and Nepal taking south side of Mt Everest.

Love knows no boundaries, neither does China.. Basically every country China bordered with, be it by land or water, there always an issue and a territories despute.
I don't care how much territory we have or what the ROC constitution claimed, I just want to live well on this little island with freedom, good life and free speech as a TAIWANESE.
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.
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.
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
@@CountingStars333 Sinocentrism is the correct expression. This is the Chinese version of Nazism. Xi Jinping's recent speech raises the risk of Sinocentrism.
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.
@@dhgdfhxc874 well yes. But that doesn't really justify a chinese claim on it. At least not more than an indonesian or malay claim.

TBH a lot of Asia is a time bomb. Many of the countries literally HATE each other, there's disputes everywhere, and unlike the US and Russia, there is a lesser fear of Mutual Assured Destruction (partially due to smaller nuclear arsenals and policies such as China's "No First Use"). Therefore anywhere from the Korean Peninsula to the borders of India could set off World War III (possibly China, Pakistan and maybe North Korea vs India, South Korea, USA, Australia and potentially Tawain or Thailand). All it would take is the right provocation to explode the proverbial gunpowder cask. If World War III does happen, there's a high chance Asia is where it occurs.

Not today, but the Chinese are know for taking the long view. There is no need for media propaganda.

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.
1:19 and 7:50 that maps violate deeply Indonesian waters , PRC trying to exercise their claim by sending illegal fishing vessel , but instead sinked by Indonesian Navy
To be honest I think the information you’re giving here is great for anybody else that doesn’t understand the dispute. From my perspective as a Chinese mainlander I simply had my problems with RUclips algorithm. It’s like they know who I am and where I am and they keep recommending video like this on my page and I’m tired of it for REAL. Even though I try to avoid geopolitics as much as possible videos about my country (mostly negative, some neutral but still shady) like can I just watch funny videos and go stop dragging me into this😭

@General Knowledge percentages don't add up at 9:10 (Kazakhstan). The Russian text says "70% to China, 30% to Kazakhstan" but you flipped it to 22% to China and 78% to Kazakhstan. Not sure which is correct.
The title should be: Which are the few countries that do not have territorial disputes with China
Are you kidding?
Congrats on your videos
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.

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.

Taiwan is the territory of China, from ancient times to the present. But it was destroyed by Japan
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?
Lol
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.
@@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.

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?
@@Peizxcv china has militias disguised as fishermen in the disputed areas of south east asia. So chinese agents in okinawa wouldn't surprise me.
@@zhixci958 Okinawa isn’t Southeast Asia and Japan isn’t Malaysia. You honestly think a bunch of Okinawan are Chinese agents? Now I wonder why they want independence🤔

And i said, Most Okinawans are a bit patoriostic than any other area, they choosed and fought to go back to Japan than occupied by the US.
@@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
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.
Yes world peace I hope for a peaceful reunification

Yeah, he didn't mention them which was weird. Though, ROC no longer claims Mongolia and in 2002 officially recognised it as independent and stopped showing it on official maps, as well as entitling them to visas instead of requiring entry permits.
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.

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.
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.
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.
I think China have border dispute in Nepal regarding Mt Everest then they reserve it by China taking north side and Nepal taking south side of Mt Everest.

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.
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

The PRC just has a way of making disputes worse.
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.

A war in South China Sea would have multiple fold as devastating compared to Ukraine's war
TBH a lot of Asia is a time bomb. Many of the countries literally HATE each other, there's disputes everywhere, and unlike the US and Russia, there is a lesser fear of Mutual Assured Destruction (partially due to smaller nuclear arsenals and policies such as China's "No First Use"). Therefore anywhere from the Korean Peninsula to the borders of India could set off World War III (possibly China, Pakistan and maybe North Korea vs India, South Korea, USA, Australia and potentially Tawain or Thailand). All it would take is the right provocation to explode the proverbial gunpowder cask. If World War III does happen, there's a high chance Asia is where it occurs.

Fun enough, some Chinese people also ask Russian to give back Vladivostok.
Question: Which countries does CHINA dispute territory with?
Answer: Only with all the countries in the whole world.
Related history facts:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amur_Annexation
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Aigun
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unequal_treaty
As I recall it, China regards the Treaty of Peking from 1860 to also be an "unequal treaty", meaning that China may lay claim to all Russian land south of the Amur river - that would be a major claim and Russia will not accept a loss of Vladivostok just like that!
Russia is China's lapdog. They're giving up the Far East in exchange for Europe.
This actually almost turned into war in 1969 but was eventually resolved between Moscow and Beijing. China no longer claims any land north of the Amur River.
@@DommTom You mean "south" of course. Unfortunately I can not recall where I read about this but it was maybe 5 or so years ago. Under Xi Jinping, China has become more imperialistic so whatever was the conclusion in -69 may not be valid in the future.
@@christopherx7428 Actually, China didn't become imperialistic under Xi, but some North American and European media tried harder to tag China as imperialism.
I never believed how Chinese media talked about the US, so I visited the US several times; you should do so before you know China. You learn about China only from the media, but I use my eyes.
@@vincentfang5639 Some reasons why I call China increasingly imperialistic:
1) The increase in threats to Taiwan
2) The claims to the Senkaku islands
3) The occupation of Tibet
4) The break of promises made to Hong Kong about "1 country, 2 system" which no longer is valid
5) The fortification of the paracel islands
6) The return to China of Macao (portuguese since the 16th century) and Hong Kong (the parts that were British territory, not the leased land) were both made under implied threats of military might
7) In light of all this, the possibility of revoking the treaty of Peking from 1860 is not out of question. Not today, but the Chinese are know for taking the long view.
There is no need for media propaganda. Media in democratic countries have many different points of view - in stark opposition to the communist regime in China.
