EUROPE- destination of many Asians, Africans and others
The world is constantly changing but the changes only began to be recorded when languages started 2.3-2.4 million years ago and the languages began to be put on paper and read. The top asylum seekers to Europe presently come from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. The EU in 2005 had an overall net gain of international migration of 1.8 million people i.e. 25% of growth. The European Union in 2005 had an overall net gain of international migration. i.e. 1.8 million people, 85% of growth .Beringia is a landmass including 3 modern nations, Canada, the U.S. and Russia. and extends from the Siberian Kolyma river, through Alaska and the Yukon territories to the Mackenzie river in the North West territories. It is near the center of the Bering strait, and from where it received its name. In the far past lowered sea levels, a result of the growth of continental glaciers, formed a land bridge between Asia an d North America. This allowed many humans to migrate from Asia and Europe to North America.
It is now time to write about the present day world.
There are 72 million international migrants around the world. And while that equals just 3.5% of the world`s population, it already surpasses some projections for 2050. Since 1970 the number of people living in a country other than where they were born has tripled. The scale and speed of migration, defined by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) as the movement of persons away from their place of usual residence, either across an international border or within a state is very difficult to predict, given that it can go hand in hand with events such as severe instability or economic crisis.
JAPAN
Japan & China (both Chinas) have territorial disputes over a group of empty islands known as Senkaku Islands in Japan, the Diaoyu Islands in the PEOPLE`S Republic of China PRC and Tiaoyutai Islands in the Republic of China (ROC.) or Taiwan. The U.S from 1945-1972 administered these islands. Since 1895 the islands were controlled by Japan. In the latter half of the 1970s The peoples Republic of China ,when oil was discovered claimed control along with the ROC The islands are included within a treaty of Mutual Cooperation between the USA and Japan so the USA would have to help Japan with aid if both China`s attacked. These islands are a serious problem in relations between both Chinas and Japan.
Taiwan
The People`s Republic of China claims that Taiwan is a province and belongs to them. Taiwan is the chip maker for the world, is a democracy and is supported by many countries with the exception of Iran and Russia and Belarus. Canada is a supporter of the agreement
Kazakhstan
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union Kazakhstan became independent but around 2,420 kilometers was disputed with China .A border treaty was signed. China received 22% of the disputed territory Kazakhstan received the remaining 78%.
Kyrgyzstan
WHEN Kyrgyzstan became independent after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it inherited a section of the China Soviet Union border .The two countries delimited their borders in 1996. There were problems with the Kyrgyz opposition culminating in the Tulip Revolution . The border was finished in 2009, with China giving up part of the Tengri peak while Kyrgyzstan the Uzengi-Kush, a mountainous area.
Laos
Laos obtained partial independence from France in 1949, around the time when Mao Zedong established the Peoples Republic of China. China influenced Laos to leave France in 1953. The border then became one between two sovereign states.
Mongolia
Mongolian: refers to the bilateral relations between Mongolia and China. These relations have long been determined by the relations between China and the Soviet Union. Mongolia’s other neighbour and main ally until early 1990. With the rapprochement between the USSR and China late 1980’s, Chinese-Mongolian relations also improved.
Nepal
Several treaties were negotiated between Nepal and Tibet(Qing China) in the 18th and 19th century. However they were vague and not precise. When the Peoples Republic of China was founded in 1949 the two governments signed three border agreements in 1960, 1961 and 1963. A Joint Commission was created to define and demarcate the border. The Nepali opposition claims both Nepal and China have a dispute over the territory along the Himalayan border. China and Nepal deny the accusation.
North Korea
North Korea and China share a 1,416 km border. The two counties signed a border treaty in 1962 to resolve their un-demarcated land border. China received 40% of the disputed crater lake on Paektu Mountain while North Korea held the remaining land
Pakistan
Pakistan and China`s border dispute was negotiated in the 1950s. This agreement became very controversial owing to the Indian refusal to accept it, because she also asserts sovereignty over some of the areas. It brought Pakistan and China closer together, however it alienated relations with the USA. India, as well was very unhappy. However when Pakistan voted to give China a seat in the U.N. Security Council, China withdrew its its opposition culminating in an agreement, signed on March 2, 1963. The border between China and Pakistan had never been demarcated before but it resulted on the basis of tradition between the two states. It was culminated and it did bring better relations.
Germany
Germany and China existed for many centuries beside each other with very little interaction. They finally reached an agreement on May 29 1994. They had each experienced criminal activity on their borders and each wanted to increase border trade and remove the problem of the drug trade with criminals. Russia transferred to China a part of Abagaitu Islet, the entire Yinlong (Tarabarov) Island, about half of Bolshoy Ussuriyaky Island and some adjacent river islets. Both parliaments ratified these agreements. The official transfer ceremony was held 0n-site on October 14, 2008, however it appears in the standard China Map Edition, Bolshoy Ussuriysky is identified as Chinese’s territory.
Tajikistan
China had a longstanding territorial claim on about 28,430 square kilometers (10,977 square miles) of Tajik territory since 1884, which was taken from them by the Qing dynasty by unequal treaties.
In 2011 as part of a boundary agreement China officially relinquished its claim to 96% of the total of disputed territory and they continue to claim the territory (among others), while Tajikistan ceded around 1,137 square km. (439 square miles) to China. This treaty is not recognized by the Republic of China (ROC) government based in Taipei, and they continue to claim the territory ,as reflected in government maps.
Murray Rubin has his say!
It is a constant changing world. You have seen in the beginning of my blog what has happened in the past. But todays world is no different. Russia, a member of the security council no less, has attacked Ukraine and they have been fighting more than two years. China , is siding with Russia and Russia is being helped, at least ,verbally by North Korea and Belarus. China has not given up in taking over Taipei which controls the world`s supply of chips for all the electrical devices in use now, China is verbally threatening all the countries in the South China sea .Because of China and Russia many people are leaving Asia for Europe, and the European countries are most unhappy. Because of World War 1 and 2 many countries left Europe for the U.S.A. Now many Asians are leaving their countries for Europe. AS YOU HAVE SEEN IN ANOTHER BLOG OF MINE, POWER CORRUPTS. I used to feel sympathy for the Chinese when they were attacked by Japan, but now the tables have turned and China is verbally ,at least ,attacking all its neighbors.
