evidence: Raking through the worn-out pages of history, India Today’s OSINT team pulls out via maps and facts the truth behind China’s claim over the disputed land of Aksai Chin. [...] "The British did not pay much attention to the Chinese moves in this remote and inhospitable area, and, in order to create yet another buffer zone between the expanding Russian empire and Tibet, a new boundary was drawn in 1893. It became known as the Macartney-MacDonald Line and placed most of Aksai Chin on the Chinese side of the territory." [...] From 1917 to 1933, the ‘Postal Atlas of China’ showed international boundaries almost identical to the Johnson-Ardagh line in all of its publications, with Aksai Chin within British territory.
