Cartographic aggression is the term by which a country describes any act, in particular the publication of maps or other material by a neighbouring country, which purports to show part of what it perceives as its own territory as belonging to the other country. In rare cases cartographic aggression may be committed by a third country in order to gain some diplomatic advantage. The term is not new, and well accepted even by professional geographers.〔A Case of'' ''Cartographic Aggression by B. K. Nijm, The Professional Geographer, Vol.33, Issue 2, p. 251, May 1981〕 Recent and well-documented cases of cartographic aggression are: ==China and India== Involving Aksai Chin and half a dozen smaller areas between there and Nepal, both China and India address the lack of treaties or any agreed boundary in this area by showing boundaries on official maps well beyond what each controls (India in Aksai Chin and the Demchok area just to the south, China also in the Demqog area plus all disputed areas southward.) Though China in 2003 recognized Sikkim as part of India, it consistently portrays most of Indian-controlled Arunachal Pradesh as part of China.〔(TIME magazine article 1959 )〕 〔(Open Society Archives,15 March 1961, p. ii )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cartographic aggression」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
