TL;DR Summary

China has renamed several places in India's Arunachal Pradesh state, which Beijing also claims as part of Tibet, sparking protests from India. The Indian Foreign Ministry rejected the renaming of places in Arunachal Pradesh, saying it is an integral and inalienable part of India. The two countries have been in a territorial dispute for decades, with China and India laying opposing claims over swaths of territory along their 3,500-kilometer border. The frontier was never formally demarcated, and the two countries fought a war along parts of the border in 1962.
