Mistakes on the border between Sichuan and Yunnan

Thank you Milenioscuro for the map，and I would like to remind you that there are two mistakes on the border between Sichuan and Yunnan. They are all along the Jinasha River.

• Panzhihua(攀枝花). The prefecture-level city located in the far southwest of Sichuan province today. China launched the Third Front Movement in 1964，so Panzhihua City was established in 1965. Parts from Sichuan and parts from Yunnan. Before 1965, this section of the border was bounded by the Jinsha River，generally like this map→File:China in 1954.svg.
• Shuifu(水富). This county-level city is in the northeast corner of Yunnan province today. Shuifu used to belong to Yibin County, Sichuan province before 1974. Then it was given to Yunnan Province, in order to build the Yunnan Yuntianhua Company(云天化公司), a large chemical state-owned enterprise here. Later, in 1981, Shuifu County was established, and included many places which originally belong to Yunnan. Anyway, Shuifu is much smaller than Panzhihua. It won't stand out on this map, but at least the northeast corner of Yunnan will not be so sharp.
