From "Turmoil" to "Security"
China tops the world with a national border of more than 22 thousand kilometers on land and 14 neighboring countries. So far, China has defined a clear boundary with 12 of its 14 neighbors and has largely settled the issue of delimitation to provide stability across the region, despite the unresolved situations with India and Bhutan. Once described “a window of turmoil,” China’s border situation remains secure and has played a critical role in promoting regional security and economic development -- a major achievement as a result of China’s diplomatic efforts.
