专有名词
  1. A geographic area along both sides of the Shaksgam River which is de facto administered as part of Kashgar prefecture, Xinjiang autonomous region, China, but which was claimed by Pakistan until 1963, and which is claimed by India (as part of Ladakh).
    — A closer look at the foreign-occupied Indian state of Jammu- Kashmir reveals some unsettling coincidences. The Chinese control the Aksai Chin portion. The Pakistanis control Azad Kashmir and the Northern Areas. They ceded the Trans-Karakoram Tract (along the northern frontier of Gilgit-Baltistan agency) to the PRC in 1963. It was in those Northern Areas that the Taliban reinforcement route and al-Qaeda base camp were reported in 2001 and 2002, respectively. (Refer back to Map 7.4.)
