Aksai Chin is a region located at the junction of China, Tibet, Pakistan, and India. It is one of the two regions (the other being Arunachal Pradesh) claimed by both India and China. Aksai Chin is currently under the administration of China. The area is in the disputed area of Kashmir and was given to China by Pakistan in 1959 in return for military aid. It was the subject of the Sino-Indian War of 1962. The area is strategically important because it contains a major road between Tibet and Xinjiang.
