Toward a New Definition of the Sino-Tibetan Border: the Simla Conference (1913- 1914) and the Xikang Province Project
This article analyses the process leading from an attempt to draw a border to the recognition of a « border zone » between China and Tibet at the beginning of the twentieth century. Tibet, located between the British and Russian spheres of influence in Asia, was highly coveted, and thus the need to define Tibetan territory borders became urgent. The failure of the Simla Conference in 1913-1914 and the gradual establishment of the Chinese province of Xikang over Tibetan territory demonstrate how China was able to control a 'border zone' in order to protect its center from two powerful neighbours.
