China's New Map Sparks Controversy and Criticism
India's External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, criticized China for releasing a new map that includes Arunachal Pradesh and the Aksai Chin region as part of its territory. Jaishankar dismissed China's move as an "old habit" and stated that making "absurd claims" does not change the fact that these territories belong to other countries. China claims Arunachal Pradesh as part of its territory, a claim that India has consistently rejected.
