The southernmost tip of China's territory is in ().

The southernmost tip of China is Zengmu shoal in Nansha Islands under the jurisdiction of Sansha City.

Expand knowledge:

Because the shallows are tens of meters below the water surface, we generally refer to Sansha City in Yongxing Island. It is 2680 kilometers away from Beijing, 452 kilometers away from Haikou and 339 kilometers away from Sanya. Zengmu shoal in a narrow sense is a shoal in the South China Sea of China, which is a part of Nansha Islands.

The generalized Zengmu shoal is a group of reefs consisting of Zengmu reef mound, Eight Immortals shoal and Aster shoal, which is the southernmost part of China territory.

China East Pole: East longitude 135 2', the intersection of the middle line of Heilongjiang and Wusuli River in Jiamusi City (prefecture-level city) and Fuyuan City (county-level city), Heilongjiang Province.

The west pole of China: 73 40 ′ east longitude, on the snowy mountain at the junction of Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture (Zhou Ke for short), Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Zhou Ke is adjacent to Aksu and Kashgar. The westernmost point that ordinary tourists can reach is Jillger Shitan Port in Geegon Township, Wuqia County, Xinjiang.

Arctic of China: 53 33' north latitude, on the center line of Heilongjiang main channel in Mohe City, Heilongjiang Province.

There has never been a clear statement about the specific territorial area of China (here it should be distinguished from the territorial sea, which includes territory and territorial sea). The data we read in textbooks has been around 9.6 million square kilometers. So what is the specific land area of our country?

Before answering these questions, let's first understand a concept. What is territory? Take the undisputed territory of the United States as an example. There are several versions of the territorial area of the United States, which once made many netizens question whether China's territorial area is the third in the world.

The most widely circulated version of American territory is 9.37 million square kilometers, including 910.5 million square kilometers of pure land area and 220,000 square kilometers of inland water area.

If the U.S. sovereign part of the Great Lakes is added, it is about 6.5438+0.6 million square kilometers, and the coastal waters such as estuaries, harbors and inland seas are about 6.5438+0.0 million square kilometers, covering an area of about 9.63 million square kilometers.

If the territorial sea covers an area of about 200,000 square kilometers and an area of about 9.83 million square kilometers, this is the largest version of American territory. What projects does China's 9.6 million square kilometers include? One is the pure land area, the other is the inland waters, and the rest are not counted.

After figuring out the basic calculation logic, let's look at the specific disputed territory with neighboring countries. China has 14 neighboring countries on the road. With the exception of India and Bhutan, China has demarcated land borders with other 12 countries, and determined national boundaries.

As Bhutan's national defense and diplomacy are controlled by India, India has become the main obstacle for China and Bhutan to demarcate their national boundaries. At present, the disputed area between China and Bhutan is several thousand square kilometers.

As China's traffic extends to Nepal, Bhutan and other borders, Bhutan will get rid of the Indian clutches with the help of China sooner or later. As a responsible big country, it is not difficult for China to resolve the border dispute with Bhutan on the principle of equal consultation.

The biggest headache at present is India. There are three main territorial disputes between China and India. About 33,000 square kilometers in the western Aksai Chin area are basically controlled by China. The 2,000-square-kilometer territory in the middle section is actually controlled by India. 65,000 square kilometers (the previous data was 90,000 square kilometers, which has now been corrected) in the eastern part of southern Tibet was occupied by India.

China wants to draw a border with India according to the actual line of control, but India refuses to do so anyway. It not only claimed Aksai Chin area from China, but also demanded about 5,800 square kilometers of Karakorum Corridor from China.

I want to say one more thing here. India is a country without self-knowledge. Second-rate countries always want to do what first-rate countries can do. India should really learn from China to hide its strength. Therefore, China-India border negotiations have been going on for many years without a result.

Southern Tibet is close to India's rich Ganges Plain, so it is very convenient to supply, because it is blocked by the Himalayas with complex terrain conditions. China immediately withdrew to the actual line of control after pounding India before the snow closed in June 1962 to June 1 1. Even if the traffic in Tibet is greatly improved in the future, it is difficult to compare with the convenient supply in India.

More importantly, it is unrealistic for China and India to have a large-scale conflict because of territorial disputes. As a result of India's long-term actual occupation of southern Tibet, the population in southern Tibet has multiplied by 1 10,000, many of whom are immigrants organized by India. Based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, it is also helpless for China to demarcate its border with India according to the actual line of control.
