Lands China officially gave up in 2001, Now the Most Dangerous Place in Russia | Poverty and Alcoholism in Tuva Region
After Outer Mongolia declared independence from the Qing dynasty and Republic of China in the early 20th century, the region of Tannu Uriankhai increasingly came under Russian influence and finally became an independent communist state, the Tuvan People's Republic, which was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1944.
Sovereignty over the area has not been officially renounced by the Republic of China, based on the island of Taiwan since 1949.
Referring to the 2001 Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship, the People's Republic of China (PRC), which controls Mainland China, has not officially renounced its sovereignty over the area, but just "have no remaining territorial claims" for two countries.But the PRC has official contacts with Tuva and regards it as part of Russia.
