What to notice
Move from North Korea and Russia across Mongolia and Central Asia, around the Himalayan neighbours, then down to Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam. Afghanistan’s short border is easy to overlook. Hong Kong and Macao are not additional sovereign neighbours. This list does not settle disputed boundary alignments.
Recall countries bordering China
Group the neighbours into northeast, Central Asia, Himalayan and southeast clusters. Can you find Afghanistan without confusing it with Tajikistan?
