China’s Protest and Claims
China’s objection to PM Modi’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh reflects its ongoing dispute with India over the region. China claims Arunachal Pradesh as “South Tibet” and opposes Indian leaders’ visits to the area. Beijing has even renamed it as “Zangnan” in its official communication.
India’s Rejection of China’s Claims
India firmly rejects China’s claims over Arunachal Pradesh, asserting that the state rightfully belongs to India. New Delhi dismisses China’s attempts to rename places in the region, emphasizing that such actions do not alter the ground reality.
