Dear Karakum buddies,

While we are sort of relieved that this whole affair didn't turn to war yet (especially since our carriers, hypersonic aircraft, and autonomous helis won't be done until 2032), we still have an unfinished matter. Now that there is no Chinese claim over the basin or really any ground troops there, it's an ideal time to settle Aksai Chin. We would personally note that all Chinese claims are based on a couple maps from a hundred years ago, and the Uyghurs themselves never really had any sort of human presence there or any input into those claims. However, Aksai Chin is of much greater importance to the Indian people simply due to how many people bled and died to it and its importance in the national consciousness. We would like yall to potentially "hint" to the new state to exclude Aksai Chin from its new claims of sovereignty, so that our troops can occupy it and declare sovereignty over it without a fuss. While we ultimately didn't need to go to war and hence, you aren't strictly obligated to get them to do so, we believe it's a very good idea to, in practice, maintain our status quo of excellent working relations.

This has two major advantages for you all:

1. The USA will be a grateful ally. With no territorial disputes between an independent Uyghur homeland and the USA, and gratefulness from returning the land, there are no issues preventing us from working together further to contain China and ensure Uyghur sovereignty. Further, we are hinting at billions of dollars worth of investment into the homeland due to this gratefulness, including rails and roads connecting it to KCU further and India.

2. It makes defending you all easier pragmatically. Not even mentioning how much easier the war would be to sell to the populace if we have Aksai Chin, we would also have much more capabilities of building up military presence in the region. This is especially relevant given that KCU presence in the country itself has been kneecapped by agreements with China. We are willing to formally guarantee both country's independence as a formality as well.

What do you think?
