It is 4th time China claims Territories in India’s Arunachal Pradesh:
India’s biggest headache is China it is aggressive and expansionist and it does not respect the law China has kicked off another map war with India it has released a new list of places these are Indian territories but Beijing has given them Chinese names this list has 30 names in all all these places are in Arunachal Pradesh there are 11 residential areas 12 mountains Four Rivers one Lake one mountain pass and one piece of land that is China’s list all of these places belong to India.
whenever China wants to stay claim on Indian Territory they just give it a Chinese name it’s absurd if we start calling Hong Kong Hanuman gar it will not become Indian but that’s what China does Beijing started releasing such lists in 2017 this is their fourth list they say arunachal Pradesh belongs to China this is an Indian state in the Northeast China calls it zangnan the International Community does not recognize the Chinese claim but China does not care it keeps releasing these lists it keeps adding more names the first List released in 2017 had just six names the second one came in 2021 it had 15 Indian territories with Chinese names the third one came in 2023 it had 11 names and now in 2024 China has released the fourth list with 30 names what does this tell you China is both repeating and expanding its claims and its tone is becoming sharper.
China’s defense Ministry he’s asking where does Arunachal come from typical wolf Warrior full of rhetoric with no basis in fact these expanding claims and sharpening tone make one thing clear though they show that China is agitated it is upset with India’s improving border infrastructure it does not like new delhi’s progress and the progress has been significant last year.
India launched 118 Border projects more than half of them were in Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh now these are two critical areas along the India China.
Arunachal Pradesh and ladakh also among the most hotly contested regions. India is firming up its position in both these areas and that has riled up the Chinese one project in particular has raised eyebrows in Beijing this is the sela tunnel it was inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi himself last month this tunnel connects Arunachal Pradesh with Assam is a neighboring state in the Northeast the tunnel connects arunachal Pradesh with a Assam and when this tunnel was opened China threw a fit the China India border issue remains unresolved India has no right to unilaterally develop zangnan known as South Tibet in English which belongs to China Beijing protested the prime minister’s visit it said the Indian Prime Minister had no business traveling to arunachal Pradesh let alone inaugurating a project and India responded in kind this is not a new issue means China has laid claim it has expanded its claim the claims were “ludicrous”to begin with they remain ludicrous today the claims are ludicrous New Delhi replied to China in the same tone it has called China’s claims absurd and baseless India has also commented on the latest list it says China’s attempt to assign invented names does not alter the reality Arunachal Pradesh remains an integral part of India.
The world supports India’s position a few days ago this is what the United States said the united states recognizes archal Pradesh as Indian Territory and we strongly oppose any unilateral attempts to advance territorial claims by incursions or encroachments military or civilian across the line of actual control China slammed the US for this it said India and China can resolve their differences themselves that’s also new delhi’s position by the way it wants to resolve differences bilaterally and peacefully but there’s a problem China is not serious about this it has been provoking India and salami slicing to user Indian land in 2020 Chinese troops attacked in ladakh they targeted Indian soldiers since then commanders from both sides have been meeting they’ve had 21 rounds of talks in four years to what end India keeps pushing for complete disengagement China keeps raising tensions with more deployments more provocations and more lists of Indian villages with Chinese names these are not the actions of a neighbor seeking peace these are the traits of a devious and deceptive player India’s best bet is to stay the course try to avoid conflict while aggressively preparing for it.
