China has released a new map that includes the Indian territories of Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin as part of its territory. This has been met with strong condemnation from India, which has called it a “brazen act of aggression”.
AP and AC part of China?
China’s Ministry of Natural Resources released the map on August 28, 2023. It shows Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin as part of China’s “standard map.” Arunachal Pradesh is a northeastern state of India, while Aksai Chin is a disputed territory currently under Chinese control.
India has rejected China’s claims on Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin. The Indian government has said the new map is “not in conformity with the Line of Actual Control” between the two countries. The Line of Actual Control is the de facto border between India and China, and China does not recognize it.
The release of the new map has further strained relations between India and China. The two countries have been locked in a border dispute for decades, and tensions have risen recently.
In April 2023, China tried to rename 11 places in Arunachal Pradesh. India rejected this move, and the two countries exchanged strong words.
Release of new map
The release of the new map is seen as a further provocation by China. It is likely to further escalate tensions between the two countries.
The Indian government has said that it will take up the issue with China at the highest level. It is also likely to take some diplomatic measures to protest against the new map.
The release of the new map is a reminder of India’s challenges in its relationship with China. The two countries are the two largest economies in Asia, and they have a growing strategic rivalry. India needs to manage its relationship with China carefully to avoid conflict.
