Apologies to all - it's been a while since I looked at the cty.dat file,
and I misread. Bob is correct. Here's the actual entry. The big block
of prefixes is the exceptions, not the rule.

Unless I have misunderstood something, China is in zone 24, but a
small part of China is also in Zone 23. I have heard several UA0Y
hams (and several DXpeditions) on from zone 23, the most active of
whom has been UA0YAY. I am not aware of any part of India being in
Zone 23.

According to the CTY.DAT file, which is as close to a universal arbiter
as you'll get, probably, none of India is in CQ Zone 23, and China is
all zone 23. The situation with ITU zones is more complicated.

22, or some very small part of India that is in Zone 23. Am I correct?
Or has this been changed?

map you use, it looks like some very northern part of India is in Zone
23 (but that isn't how I remembered it). If you look at the CQ WAZ
list, it clearly states that is not the case - China is not listed as
part of Zone 22, and India is not listed as part of Zone 23. But some
maps show that.
