China protests India's formal naming of 27 locations in Arunachal Pradesh

China has formally protested India's recent decision to assign official names to 27 geographical locations and features within Arunachal Pradesh. The Chinese Foreign Ministry described the move as illegal and invalid, asserting that it does not alter China's territorial claims over the region, which it refers to as South Tibet. India maintains that the initiative was undertaken in consultation with the Arunachal Pradesh state government to improve identification and public awareness of these sites, following repeated attempts by China to rename areas along the border.

What Happened

The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Monday condemning India's decision to formally register 27 locations and geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh on its official map. These features include land areas, mountain passes, a lake, and a monument. A spokesperson for the Chinese government stated that Beijing does not recognize Arunachal Pradesh as an Indian state and characterized the Indian government's action as illegal and invalid.

India's Ministry of Home Affairs stated that the mapping project was conducted in coordination with the Arunachal Pradesh state government to ensure accurate identification of these locations. This development follows a series of efforts by China to rename various sites along the border. China has warned that such actions could complicate bilateral relations and urged India to avoid escalating the border issue into a larger dispute.
