00:03 A handshake at BRICS, pleasantries
00:05 at several other occasions, talks of normalization
00:09 of ties, all this only to come up with a design like this.
00:13 China is at it again, and this time it's the map strategy.
00:19 China has released its official map
00:21 where India's Arunachal Pradesh, Aksai Chin, Taiwan,
00:24 and the disputed South China Sea have
00:25 been shown in its territory.
00:27 The Global Times, the Chinese government mouthpiece
00:30 in its tweet, shared the map and very comfortably
00:32 claim that the map is compiled based
00:35 on the drawing method of national boundaries of China
00:38 and various countries in the world.
00:41 Earlier in April 2023, China had changed the names
00:43 of 11 places of Arunachal Pradesh in its map.
00:46 China has done this for the third time
00:48 in the last five years.
00:50 Earlier in 2021, China had changed the names of 15 places
00:53 and in 2017, six places.
00:56 Ministry of External Affairs had retaliated
00:59 against this act of China.
01:00 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Arindam Baggi
01:02 had said, "We have come across reports
01:04 of such antics of China earlier also.
01:07 We reject these new names outright."
01:09 Arunachal Pradesh was, is, and will remain
01:12 an integral part of India.
01:13 Changing the name in this way will not change the reality.
01:17 India has repeatedly said that the state of Arunachal Pradesh
01:20 has always been and will always be
01:22 an integral part of the country.
01:25 As for China's false claims, it has never recognized
01:28 Arunachal Pradesh as a state of India.
01:30 It describes Arunachal as part of southern Tibet.
01:33 The map also incorporated China's claims
01:35 over Taiwan and the Nine-Dash Line,
01:37 claiming a large part of the South China Sea.
01:40 China claims Taiwan as part of its mainland
01:43 and its integration with the mainland
01:44 is part of a vowed objective
01:47 of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
01:49 It must be noted, Vietnam, the Philippines,
01:52 Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan have counterclaims
01:56 over the South China Sea areas.
