Territorial disputes of China

The People's Republic of China (PRC) is currently engaged in a number of territorial disputes. A territorial dispute is a disagreement over the possession or control of land between two or more political entities. Many of these disputes are almost identical to those that the Republic of China (ROC) based in Taipei, also known as Taiwan, has with other countries. Therefore, many of the subsequent resolved disputes made by the PRC after 1949 with other governments may not be recognized by the ROC.
