Why is the Chinese Rogue State so delirious and paranoid about the formation of a separate new Union Territory of
Ladakh? China knows & quite rightly so that Ladakh or Maryul per se historically comprises Ngari Khor-sum & Shang Shung & that this fact cannot be contested credibly by anyone. The territorial integrity of
Ladakh vis-a-vis the eastern parts of Ladakh was sort of camouflaged so long when Ladakh remained a part of the historical area of Kashmir. So, the Chinese were sly and shrewd enough to understand that when a Union Territory of Ladakh was created, it would eventually and inevitably cause a domino effect and call into question the issue of the sacred and inalienable territorial integrity of Ladakh in its entirety, and the precursor to the next inevitable step in the chain of events which would inevitably follow and cannot be prevented or curtailed come what may under any circumstances whatsoever is the reiteration of the territorial integrity of Ladakh in its entirety. And they
are perfectly and precisely right! When Ladakh is a part of India, it is not just the western fringes of Ladakh but the whole of Ladakh in its entirety including inter alia Ngari Khor-sum and Shang Shung
which is a part of Ladakh. The northern border of the Union Territory of Ladakh is the Kuen Lun Range wherein are the Hindu-tash and Sanju-la Passes in Kashmir to the north of Sumgal, Portash, and Ali Nazar in Ladakh and the Kashmiri outpost of Shahidullah on the southern flanks of the Kuen Lun Range in northern Kashmir where the then Maharaja of Kashmir had built a fort in exercise of the territorial sovereignty of Kashmir. The sly and cunning Regime in China which is in military occupation of the sovereign states of Tibet and East Turkistan had entered into an illegal opportunistic so-called "border agreement" with Pakistan pertaining to territory over which Pakistan has no de jure right and no locus standi and which is in illegal occupation of a part of Kashmir,
and the Chinese have thereby annexed the Cis-Kuen Tract in northern Kashmir extending from Chhogori Peak K2 and the Shingshal Pass in central Kashmir to the Taghdumbash Pamir and Mariom Pamir and the Kukalang, Yangi, Kilian, Sanju-la and Hindu-tash Passes in northern Kashmir. The formation of the Union Territory of Ladakh or Maryul endangers Chinese Occupation of eastern Ladakh comprising Aksai Chin in its entirety and the rest of Shang Shung and Ngari Khor-sum in eastern Ladakh. To put things in perspective, the eastern International Boundary of India with West Tibet commences at Pulu and traverses the intricate maze of Ridges on which are the Aling Kangri and Mawang Kangri
Peaks and culminates at Mayum - La or Marnyak-La. Running southwest to northeast, the Altyn Tagh converges with the Kunlun range in Kashmir which runs southeast to northwest forming a "V" shape which converges at Pulu. The geographical divide between Ladakh in the highlands of Kashmir and the Tibetan Plateau commences in the vicinity of Pulu and continues southwards along the intricate maze of ridges situated east of Rudok in Ladakh, wherein are situate the Aling Kangri and Mavang Kangri peaks and culminates in the vicinity of Mayum - La or the Marnyak-la. That is why the Chinese would rather be happy if just the far extreme western fringes and stump of Ladakh remained politically a part of a moth-eaten and defunct Jammu and Kashmir without the eastern part of Ladakh comprising Ngari Khor-sum and Shang Shung being restored back to Kashmir!
