India not at ease with any neighbors, China at ease with all neighbors except India

ere is a list of the countries that have territorial and border disputes with China:

  1. Japan :: Parts of the East China Sea, particularly the Senkaku Islands. Also, on occasion, the Ryukyu Islands, on the grounds that the completely independent Kingdom of Ryukyu was once a vassal state of China. The Kingdom of Ryukyu terminated tributary relations with China in 1874.

  2. Vietnam :: China claims large parts of Vietnam on historical precedent (Ming Dynasty, 1368-1644). Also, Macclesfield Bank, Paracel Islands, parts of the South China Sea and the Spratly Islands.

  3. India :: China illegally occupies 38,000 sq km (Aksai Chin) of land in Jammu & Kashmir. It also holds 5,180 km of Indian territory in Pakistan occupied Kashmir under Sino-Pak agreement of 1963. At the heart of Sino-Indian boundary dispute is the issue of Arunachal Pradesh (90,000 sq km), which China describes as "Southern Tibet". Beijing is demanding that at least the Tawang Tract of Arunachal Pradesh, if not the whole of the state, be transferred to China.

  4. Nepal :: China claims parts of Nepal dating back to the Sino-Nepalese War in 1788-1792. China claims they are part of Tibet, therefore part of China.

  5. North Korea :: Baekdu Mountain and Jiandao. China has also on occasion claimed all of North Korea on historical grounds (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368).

  6. The Philippines :: Parts of the South China Sea, particularly Scarborough Shoal and the Spratly Islands. Russia :: 160,000 square kilometres still unilaterally claimed by China, despite China signing several agreements. Singapore :: Parts of the South China Sea.

  7. South Korea :: Parts of the East China Sea. China has also on occasion claimed all of South Korea on historical grounds (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368).

  8. Bhutan :: Bhutanese enclaves in Tibet, namely Cherkip Gompa, Dho, Dungmar, Gesur, Gezon, Itse Gompa, Khochar, Nyanri, Ringung, Sanmar, Tarchen and Zuthulphuk. Also Kula Kangri and mountainous areas to the west of this peak, plus the western Haa District of Bhutan.

  9. Taiwan :: China claims all of Taiwan, but particular disputes are: Macclesfi eld Bank, Paracel Islands, Scarborough Shoal, parts of the South China Sea and the Spratly Islands. The Paracel Islands, also called Xisha Islands in Vietnamese, is a group of islands in the South China Sea whose sovereignty is disputed among China, Taiwan and Vietnam disputes with Burma.

  10. Kazakhstan :: There are continual unilateral claims by China on Kazakhstan territory, despite new agreements, in China's favour signed every few years.

  11. Laos :: China claims large areas of Laos on historical precedent (China's Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368).

  12. Brunei :: Over Spratly Islands. The Spratly Islands is a disputed group of more than 750 reefs, islets, atolls, cays, and islands in the South China Sea. About 45 islands are occupied by small numbers of military forces from the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Brunei has also claimed an exclusive economic zone in the southeastern part of the Spratlys encompassing just one area of small islands on Louisa Reef. This has led to escalating tensions.

  13. Tajikistan :: Chinese claims based on historical precedent (Qing Dynasty, 1644-1912).

  14. Cambodia :: China has, on occasion, claimed parts of Cambodia on historical precedent (China's Ming Dynasty, 1368-1644). Indonesia :: Parts of the South China Sea.

  15. Kyrgyzstan :: China claims the majority of Kyrgyzstan on the grounds that it was unfairly forced to cede the territory (which it had formerly conquered) to Russia in the 19th century.

  16. Malaysia :: Over Parts of the South China Sea, particularly the Spratly Islands.

  17. Mongolia :: China claims all of Mongolia on historical precedent (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368). In fact, Mongolia, under Genghis Khan, occupied China.

  18. Afghanistan :: Afghan province of Bahdakhshan (despite a bilateral treaty of 1963, China still encroaches on Afghan territory).
That' s total BS , From what source you get it?? Can you provide a link?
 
. . . .
Can you provide a link? PRC claims Mongolia?? You mean ROC, right? China has diplomatic relationship with Mongolia.
Not to mention Tibet, East Turkestan( Hope spelling is correct) and Inner mongolia.

Oh, I see, those are the "countries" that you claim China disputed with. I bet your source must be from India? right, even China bashing American sources won't come up with something this stupid.

Ask the CCP next time they let you 'vote'.
Can you answer my questions instead of going off topic?
 
. .
I don't care about the exact number. Fact is that China has problems with almost every single state in the region.

As much as I dislike Modi, this isn't the case with India.

Either you read too much western media or you ain't very bright.

China has excellent ties with 11 out of 14 neighbors, many are key One Belt One Road partners, some close strategic ally.

Afghanistan, Bhutan, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Myanmar, Mongolia, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Vietnam.

Only India, India's puppet Bhutan, and Vietnam do not have good ties with China.

@rott @beijingwalker
. Let me sum it up. Are all claims legit but probably not. But it will be pretty hippo-critic of China to say that it is peaceful with its neighbors.
Then can you explain why PLA hasn't fought any wars for over 4 decades already?

Why dont you check your maritime boundaries. Why dont you open that can of worms? huh
All neighbors claim this part of sea, China is just one of them, that can be seen in many other maritime disputes, but they are hardly can be called" territorial disputes". Everyone makes a claim there, and that's about it.

Wars are not the only parameter to be considered here. You are taking a single parameter are correlating the entire metric.
PS - Last war India fought was almost 5 decades ago.
Indians always fighting wars and conflicts along your borders and against your rebels, when was he last time you hear PLA fired a single shot?

Ill have to strongly disagree here. They are serious disputes and are taken quite seriously by participant and international (USA and EU and others) countries. You have an advantage of size and proximity there, but if China will have to see war in the next 2-3 decades, it wont be India but SCS.
