New Chinese map lays claim to Arunachal, South China Sea

June 29, 2014 12:33

China has published a new map that has unnerved sentiments among governments ranging from India to those in Southeast Asia.

As per a report in The Washington Post, the latest map shows the totality of China's territorial claims.

In comparison, earlier maps used to separately denote China's declared claims, including over the South China Sea.

Chinese state newspaper People's Daily has claimed that Chinese citizens would now be able to "fully, directly know the full map of China".

"Readers wont ever think again that Chinas territory has primary and secondary claims," it added.

The map shows India's Arunachal Pradesh state as Chinese territory. Not just that, a large part of Jammu and Kashmir is also shown as part of China.
