reports cnin & all 95 of its markers are soon to be under review<br/>

says there used to be 96 markers on this line<br/>
<br/>
however no matter if or which one is lost<br/>
since<br/>
according to this excellent source on both cnnp & innp<br/>

there never was a marker at the cninnpw tripoint<br/>
which is situated at a remote watershed trijunction<br/>
nor is there one at the cninnpe tripoint<br/>
on the even more remote jonsang peak<br/>
<br/>
to which<br/>

is incidentally our most beautiful & truest class d visit to date<br/>
<br/>
but all 95 of these markers will be found at low passes & stream crossings <br/>
etc<br/>
<br/>
so while both cninnp tripoints have been clearly defined by the verbal <br/>
delineation in the 1961 cnnp agreement<br/>
they have not been affected at all by the subsequent delimitation & <br/>
demarcation<br/>
& may never have been nor perhaps ever will be a real concern to anyone but <br/>
us<br/>
if indeed even to us<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
moreover<br/>
both tripoints remain subject to tripartite confirmation<br/>
<br/>
they will probably come under closer scrutiny at the concurrently <br/>
intermittent secret cnin tripoint6pack talks<br/>
<br/>
indeed the chinese acquiescence to indian control of sikkim at the beginning <br/>
of these talks has already firmed cninnpe up considerably<br/>
<br/>
but the above nepal democracy site indicates as many as 61 innp disputes<br/>
including some in the still completely indefinite sikkim sector<br/>
where the innp vector of cninnpe comes in<br/>
<br/>
&<br/>

indicates the innp vector of cninnpw was actually in dispute as of 1997<br/>
