Word: Aksai Chin Part of Speech: name Etymology: First attested in the mid 1800s. Borrowed from Uyghur ﺋﺎﻗﺴﺎﻱ چۆل / Aqsai Chöl / ақсай чөл (aqsay chöl), with the word "chin" being a corrupted transliteration of چۆل (chöl), ultimately derived from Turkic. See Aksai Chin on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Pronunciation: /ˌɑːksaɪ ˈtʃɪn/ 1. A cold desert plain in Central Asia divided between China and India Example: The bed is not limited to the belt of country situated between Ser and Mer (Snowy Peak Range) chain and the Kailas chain. It is well developed in Rodok, near the Pang Chong Lake and up to the foot of the Korakoram chain, and it is very probable that the great Desert of Aksai Chin is a similar bed. Example: In the basin which lies immediately eastward of the valley of the head stream of the Indus, is the Aksai Chin, or White desert, concerning which, however, little more is known to Europeans than the name. 2. A cold desert plain in Central Asia divided between China and India Example: In the western sector, the Chinese-Indian frontier dispute involves mainly the Aksai Chin area of Ladakh. Long limited to conflicting cartographic claims, the Aksai Chin issue flared in the 1950’s when the Chinese encroached on the area and upgraded a traditional caravan route between Sinkiang and Tibet across the Aksai Chin to a motor road, inaugurated in 1957. The Chinese were shown to be in actual control of Aksai Chin in the late 1950’s, and they retained control after the brief Indian-Chinese border war of November, 1962. Example: When India proclaimed its independence from Britain, it did not proclaim its independence from British territorial claims. It included the Aksai Chin territory as well as the line demarcated by McMahon on all of its maps. 3. A lake in Hotan County, Hotan prefecture, Xinjiang autonomous region, China, part of the disputed Aksai Chin. Example: This pass is described as situated in the Kisil-korum Range, which is a branch from the Kara-tagh Range. The next day they arrived at the great lake Aksáe Chin, 16,620 feet, although I cannot make out what particular lake he means. Example: On the southern shore of the Aksai Chin lake we left our big luggage behind us in a depot. Our next goal was the Khitai Dawan, whence we could reach the Upper Kara-Kash. Leaving Sir Aurel Stein’s route of 1908 to the north, we crossed the brown mountains separating the Aksai Chin lake from the salt marshes in the west, which had been seen by Johnson in 1865.
