China's Defense Ministry has called India's Arunachal Pradesh part of its historical territory while accusing the U.S. of 'provoking disputes.'
A senior official in Beijing on Thursday doubled down on Chinese territorial claims to a state in northeastern India, before criticizing Washington for 'provoking disputes' by backing New Delhi.'Zangnan has been China's territory since ancient times. This is an undeniable fact,' Col. Wu Qian, China's Defense Ministry spokesperson, said of the region the Indian government calls the state of Arunachal Pradesh.
Meanwhile, the United States has irked China by backing India against China's criticism of the Sela Tunnel.'The United States recognizes Arunachal 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,' Vedant Patel, a U.S. State Department spokesperson, said last week.
