The Taklamakan desert is part of what is generally known and termed as "gebidamo-戈壁大漠“ in Chinese and Gobi desert in English.
Let me repeat: the whole of northwest China west of the Jiayuguan Pass is popularly known by the name of "Gobi desert".
Even a whiteman knows this, but the strict fact is, the recent tests occured in Taklamakan, not in Gobi, from a pure geographical point of view.
You want to be "general" and to use the larger terme Gobi, I don't really care, but this doesn't change the fact that those tests were carried out in Taklamakan, from a pure geographical point of view.
I love things to be precise, but I can tolerate approximation. We can argue for months, but this won't change anything in my mind, even if I understand what you mean.
I would trust a Chinese than a whiteman on Chinese matter.
From time to time, you might have surprise.
