Summary

Description
English: Hung Ta Chen’s map. This is the faithful representation of a map officially given by Hung Ta Chen, a senior Chinese Government official, to the British Indian consul at Kashgar, in 1893. The Chinese imperial map clearly depicts the major part of Lingzi Thang, Aksai Chin and Raskam areas in Kashmir as part of Kashmir itself during the relevant period. The map was created by Hung Ta-Chen and it shows that the portion of Aksai Chin to the west of the Macartney-MacDonald line was an integral part of Kashmir and not disputed. The map is reproduced in all “noteworthy” books dealing with India’s border issue, including “Himalayan Frontiers” by Dorothy Woodman published inter alia by London Barrie and Rockliff The Cresset Press 1969.
