Shahidulla

— The Chinese side also cited a passage from the Hsin chiang t’u chih of 1911, stating that the boundary beyond Kan jut turned in an east-west direction, as supporting their claim. The Indian side pointed out that it was the Indian line and not the Chinese line which ran in this manner, and so this passage in effect confirmed the Indian alignment. This work also referred in another passage to Shahidulla being a part of Kashmir; and as Shahidulla was much to the north of the Kuen Lun mountains, Sinkiang did not extend at that time even upto the Kuen Lun mountains, let alone south of it.
