East Turkistan
China captured East Turkistan in 1949 and describes it as Shinjiang province. 45% of the total population here is Uygar Muslims, while 40% are Han Chinese. Uygar Muslims are considered to be of Turkic origin. China has declared Xinjiang as an autonomous region like Tibet.
Tibet
Tibet has never been a part of China from political point of view. A king of Magadha, a century before Christ, organized various communities of Tibet. This relationship remained for many years. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established in October 1949, after a 15 -year struggle and violent fighting. The agenda of Chairman Maotse Tung included (and punishing) Tibet, which he called a ‘right palm of China’, while Ladakh, Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal and Arunachal Pradesh are the ‘five fingers’ of the palm. China faced India on 7 October 1950 with its invasion of Tibet and threatened the stability of not only Tibet and India but also the entire Asia. Tibet had to face defeat in this fight. In 1950, Chinese forces forcefully captured Tibet. The 14th Dalai Lama Tanzin Gyatso had to leave Tibet. He settled in a place where water is said to be more sweet than milk. In 1959, the Dalai Lama came to India with many of his supporters. At that time he was only 23 years old. The Dalai Lama did not like China to find shelter in India. Then there was the rule of Maotse Tung in China. The tension between China and the Dalai Lama kept increasing and he was afraid that he should not plot with India.
Southern Mongolia or Inner Mongolia

Taiwan
Taiwan’s first contact with China was in 1683 when Taiwan came under control of the Qing Dynasty. But its role in international politics was first revealed in the China-Japan War (1894–95), in which Japan defeated the Qing Dynasty and made Taiwan its first colony. After this defeat, China started breaking into many small parts. At that time, the big leaders of China used to be Sun Yat-Sen, who wanted to make the entire China a country by connecting all the parts. To unite China, Sun Yat-Sen formed the Kuo Mingtang Party in 1912 and he was also largely successful in his Republic of China campaign. But 1925 Sun Yat-Sen died. After his death, the Kuo Mingtang Party divided into two parts, the Nationalist Party and the other communist. The Nationalist Party was in favor of giving more rights to the public. While the communist believed that the government would decide how to rule. The Nationalist Party was completely based on a liberal hypothesis while its botanist was dependent on the forest man show, ie completely dictatorship. It is from here that the great war begins inside China. People’s Republic of China and Republic of China i.e. China and Taiwan. Both of them opened a front against each other. China was ruled by the Communist Party of Mao Tadeseng. When UN became UN in 1945, Mainland used to be China ‘Republic of China’. He was among the early members of the UN. Initially, Chiang Kai-Shek with China i.e. Taiwan was recognized. China claims that Taiwan is also a part of it.

In 1997, Britain returned to Hong Kong to China, but it also entered into a ‘One Country, Two System’ agreement, under which China agreed to give Hong Kong to the next 50 years to give political independence. The people of Hong Kong have got special rights, which the people of China are not. T
