claim: Wakhan Corridor is a territory of Republic of China
evidence: The Wakhan Corridor, a narrow strip of territory in the Badakhshan Province of Afghanistan, is situated at the crossroads of four countries: China, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Wakhan Corridor is about 350 km long with 16 to 64 km wide at its eastern end, the corridor forks into two prongs that wrap around a salient of Chinese territory, forming the 92 km boundary between the two countries. [...] It shares a 300 km with Pakistan, on its northeast and west direction it has over 260 km boarder with Tajikistan, and 74 km with China. The Wakhan Corridor appeared as a bridge among the nations with great mountains ranges on the Silk Route. The corridor has great historic value being part of ancient Silk Road. Even today it has great potential for regional connectivity and tourism. The Wakhan territory is considered very peaceful having no law-and-order problem. [...] The Wakhan Corridor has a great Geo-strategic and geo-economic significance for Afghanistan, China and Pakistan. However, the opening of this corridor will have serious implications for regional and global players involved in Afghanistan, especially India and the US. Further With growing Chinese concerns over radicalisation among Uyghurs in its western region and taking over of Taliban in its neighbourhood, the visual evidence of Pakistan recent made border markings being taken down by the Taliban raises questions about the future of the narrow corridor.
