Taking exception to a US diplomat's recent remarks that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India, China today said it plans to seek a clarification from Washington as any "irresponsible" third party intervention in Sino-Indian border dispute will "complicate" the issue.

"The Chinese side has noted the report and will ask the US side for verification and clarification," Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a written response to a question from PTI here about US Consul General in Kolkata Craig L Hall's comments that Washington regards Arunachal Pradesh, which China claims as Southern Tibet, as part of India.
