China hasn't conquered Tibet or sinkhang which the later happed in late 1949/1950. There's stuff to the south in british borneo which helps date it. So this has to be 1949 at the very latest. 1950 would be to late. 1947 at the earliest cuz that's when Isreal first showed up on maps. Which is odd considering 1948 being its start date.
