Taiwan's territorial claims (2016)

This map, created by Anders Kvernberg in 2016, shows Taiwan's territorial claims across Asia.

Taiwan and China have been locked in an open territorial dispute since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. Since then, the territory actively administered by Taiwan has been reduced to the island of Formosa, although its claims still extend over much of the mainland. In addition to the whole of mainland China, these claims involve many other countries:

• Japan: Senkaku Islands.
• North Korea: Mount Paektu and the mouth of the Tumen River.
• Russia: Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island, Tuva, and the sixty-four villages east of the river (historically inhabited by the Manchus).
• Mongolia: the whole country.
• Kazakhstan: Several border crossings.
• Kyrgyzstan: Khan Tengri.
• Tajikistan: parts of the province of Gorno-Badakhshan.
• Afghanistan: Waján Corridor.
• Pakistan: Parts of Gilgit-Baltistan.
• India: Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh.
• Bhutan: Kula Kangri and the district of Haa.
• Myanmar: Northern Kachin.
• Spratly Islands, also claimed by Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Some of these territories are also currently claimed by China.
