Reiterating its false claim over this Indian territory, a foreign ministry spokesperson of China said on Monday, Beijing considered the Indian Home Minister’s activities in the area as violation of China’s territorial sovereignty.

China has renamed 11 places in what India regards as its eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, which China claims as part of its territory.

“Zangnan is China’s territory,” spokesperson Wang Wenbin said in response to a question on the visit by Indian Home Minister Amit Shah. Beizing has on its own named Arunachal Pradesh as Zangnan.
