Whenever we introduce our own country, the first thing that comes to mind is "the vast territory of the country.". As the third largest country in the world, it is indeed a vast country. However, the territory of our country is far more than it is today. Many of China's territories have been invaded by foreigners. Especially in the 200 years of modern times, too much territory has been lost. This 45,000 square kilometers of land belongs to China and has not been recovered after more than 100 years of occupation.
Covering an area of 45,000 square kilometers, Ladakh is three times the size of the entire Beijing municipality. It is a traditional gathering place for Tibetans, where Kagyu Buddhism is practiced. Whether it is living habits or religious beliefs, this land is no different from Tibet. Therefore, it has always had the title of "Little Tibet".
The earliest records of Little Tibet also need to be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was within the rule of Tubo. By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, it belonged to China entirely. By the time of the last feudal dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, tribute was still paid every year. However, by the middle and late Qing Dynasty, it gradually exceeded China's control. With the support of the British, Ladakh was captured by foreign countries. At that time, they asked the Qing Dynasty for help, but unfortunately they did not get rescue.
After the British occupied Darak, they wanted to completely own the land. But the Qing emperor sternly refused, and this was always the territory of China. Darak changed from British to Indian, and China has never changed its attitude, and it is still Chinese territory.
India has always wanted to occupy this vast land and continues to emigrate from within the country. The plan is to change the demographic structure and thus change the identity of the people in this land. The magnificent pangong lake is partly in China and partly in Ladakh. Chinese want to see Pangong Lake in Ladakh, it is difficult to do so. The 45,000 square kilometers of territory can be completely recovered, and Pangong Lake can be fully appreciated.
Pangong Lake has a magical side that many people have never known. It belongs to China, the water quality is good, and there are a large number of fish and birds living in it. After entering Ladakh, the lake becomes a saltwater lake, and the real grass is not grown. I don't know what Ladakh will look like when it is taken back. I have to say that there are still some small expectations for this.
