China has changed the names of 15 places in Arunachal Pradesh
Arunachal Pradesh is shown on the Chinese map as “Jangnan” or “Southern Tibet”. In 2017, Beijing released six official names for the sites, which were seen as a retaliatory measure after the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet, visited the kingdom.
India strongly opposes China’s renaming of 15 locations within Arunachal Pradesh, which will later be used on official Chinese maps, as part of Beijing’s recent move to boost regional demand. Foreign Minister Arindam Bagchi said, “This is not the first time that China has tried to change the names of places in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. China also tried to specify such names in April 2017.” He further added that these satirical activities of Beijing do not change the fact that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of the country.
