China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs announced on December 29 that it had “standardised” the names of 15 places in Arunachal Pradesh. The Ministry of External Affairs of India has dismissed the Chinese “invention”.
About:
China claims some 90,000 sq km of Arunachal Pradesh as its territory.
It calls the area “Zangnan” in the Chinese language and makes repeated references to “South Tibet”.
Chinese maps show Arunachal Pradesh as part of China, and sometimes parenthetically refer to it as “so-called Arunachal Pradesh”.
China makes periodic efforts to underline this unilateral claim to Indian territory. Giving Chinese names to places in Arunachal Pradesh is part of that effort.
