Tajikistan Ceded Disputed Land to China Rich in Gold And Uranium

On 12 January 2011 the Tajikistan parliament ratified a protocol demarcating its border with China, which brings to fruition the 2002 agreement between Tajik Foreign Minister Hamrokhon Zarifi and his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi in Beijing in April 2010. It relinquishes Tajikistan’s control over 1,000sq kms (approximately) of uninhabited land in the Pamir mountainous region. While the area amounts to only three per cent of the 28,000sq kms under dispute since the time of Czarist Russia, it is almost one per cent of Tajikistan’s total geographical area which is 1,43,000sq kms. The Tajik government has claimed the development as a huge diplomatic victory.

Yet, much local resistance has been generated in Tajikistan due to territorial loss and non-transparency in the border settlement. Mukhiddin Kabiri declared that “this is a violation of the Tajik constitution which makes it clear that the territory of the state is single and indivisible. It is a defeat for Tajik diplomacy.” Resentment also arises from the fact that the ceded territory is extremely rich in gold, uranium and other natural wealth and will add to China’s energy basket and further its economic expansion.


塔方划归中国的1158平方公里新发现金矿和铀矿

中塔边境的这一带地下有铀矿,是核放射线的辐射污染造成了这样的结果。红其拉甫边检站的副站长姚玉峰中校在卡拉苏口岸对记者说,曾有专业机构的人员来这里测过放射线的辐射水平,据说测出的辐射量数值要比普通地区高出400到600倍。姚玉峰感慨说,高寒缺氧,再加上核元素的强辐射,可边防官兵还是尽心尽责地守在岗位上,为国戍边。

值得一提的是,中塔国界划定后不久,在中国北段的边境地区发现了金矿,在中南段边境则发现了铀矿。土地是资源之母,财富之母,这话一点都不过时。(记者程刚)
 
the land was controlled by Tajikistan and now is part of China,I dont call that a failure.claiming something big is a kind of strategy.it's like bargaining.
 
I think China was not patient enough at this issue.I just remind that such solution of disputed border showing opportunism among chinese.
 
This is small sum to what was originally disputed, China had to compromise alot but at least another border dispute is settled for good.
Which border dispute do you mean?You mean this one is really a good deal?

No, no thx to the old Soviet legacy, China got the short end of the stick, but as i said, a border dispute has been solved amicably with Tajikistan with China making big compromise on this issue.
 
No shame in settling peace with the neighbors for things we never controlled.

Chiang Kai Shek owned Mongolia and Outer Manchuria on the map too.

This Land claim was made by one of the weakest government in China's history.Now china is much much more strongger than that in the 1930s but unfortunately we could make none of them a good deal.
 
Its a huge victory for Tajikistan. China ceded 27000 sq.km to Tajikistan.

I dont think it that way,first,the land ceded to China was administered by Tajikistan,not in China's control.and China's original claim was one third of the whole Tajikistan,no country will accept a term like that,and that also would hurt China's image.

China received only 3% of its original claim. Goes on to show everyone else can successfully attempt the same. The bit about the ceded area being "extremely rich" is just plain old BS meant for public consumption.
