Interior Conflict (Semper Idem)

The Interior Conflict was a series of minor border conflicts between China and Xinjiang from 2039-2047, named after the Chinese interior where the conflict took place. The conflict stemmed from different definitions of the border between Xinjiang and China as agreed to in the 2039 Beijing Agreement. In 2036, as part of a series of sweeping reforms, the Chinese government changed its prefecture and district system, including extending the Jiaquan prefecture to include half of the prefecture of Hami.
