evidence: In the middle of this complex historical backdrop, China’s recent claim to a substantial portion of the Pamir Range has been a source of concern for Tajikistan. China’s claim is based on an old writing, most likely an antique treaty or historical record, which is thought to suggest that the land originally belonged to China. On the other hand, Tajikistan claims that the Pamir Range has been a part of its territory for millennia; therefore, the claim is invalid. The scenario deteriorated into a delicate diplomatic problem, affecting relations between neighboring countries. These claims are based on a number of factors, including: [...] Geographical claims: China has also claimed that the Pamir Mountains are an extension of the Tian Shan Mountains in China. According to this argument, the Pamirs and the Tian Shan are part of the same mountain system. [...] China and Tajikistan have had many rounds of talks over the Pamir Range since 2002. However, no final agreement has been reached as a result of the negotiations. China’s claim to the Aksai Chin region is the primary impediment to achieving an agreement on the Pamir Range. China claims Aksai Chin to be part of its territory, while Tajikistan considers it to be part of its. The Aksai Chin region is strategically significant because it controls access to vital trade routes and minerals. China refuses to relinquish its claim to Aksai Chin, and Tajikistan refuses to yield the land to China.
