Please explain how China share it’s border with Pakistan ?
Through Gilgit Baltistan, illegally occupied by Pakistan since it invaded erstwhile J&K in 1947
Here Shiv
(My thought process -> Correct me if I am wrong)
It is an illegal occupation & Govt of India doesn’t accept it. Acc. to official map (which would be preferred by UPSC) China does not share it’s border with Pakistan.

Good…Keep going !!
