How was what I wrote POV-pushing? Please inform. Are you referencing the fact that I wrote it was part of China's Hotan prefecture in the lead sentence? Other disputed territories such as Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh state they are Indian territory before mentioning their disputed status. In fact, mentioning its disputed status first, rather than the political reality that it is under Chinese administration downplays Chinese suzerainty, which in fact is POV itself unless a similar approach is taken to disputed territories under Indian (or anyone else's) control.Willard84 (talk) 00:08, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See Britannnica Aksai Chin: "Aksai Chin, Chinese (Pinyin) Aksayqin, portion of the Kashmir region, at the northernmost extent of the Indian subcontinent in south-central Asia. It constitutes nearly all the territory of the Chinese-administered sector of Kashmir that is claimed by India to be part of the Ladakh area of Jammu and Kashmir state." There is an encyclopedic convention. We can't make up our own. Best regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 12:30, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See Britannica Jammu and Kashmir (state, India): "Jammu and Kashmir, state of India, located in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent in the vicinity of the Karakoram and westernmost Himalayan mountain ranges. The state is part of the larger region of Kashmir, which has been the subject of dispute between India, Pakistan, and China since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947."

See Britannica Arunachal Pradesh (state, India): "Arunachal Pradesh, state of India. It constitutes a mountainous area in the extreme northeastern part of the country and is bordered by the kingdom of Bhutan to the west, the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north, Myanmar (Burma) and the Indian state of Nagaland to the south and southeast, and the Indian state of Assam to the south and southwest. The capital is Itanagar." No mention in the lead paragraph, or for that matter the next (which is as far as I read) of any dispute. Very best regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 12:36, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, so what did I write that was POV pushing? You're referencing the style of Brittanica.com, but it doesnt actually show that I was pushing a POV. The region is still administered as part of China's Hotan prefecture regardless of what britannica.com says. And the fact that it is disputed was listed in the very next sentence.
