asked about the news of Modi’s visit to Arunachal today, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said, “China’s stand on China-India border question is regular and clear.
The official dialogue committee, Xinhua reported to Geng, “The Chinese government never recognized the so-called Arunachal Pradesh and it strongly opposes the visit of the Indian leaders to the disputed area. He said, “We will register a strong protest against the Indian side.
Geng said that there is a significant consensus between India and China to manage disputes in a proper manner and both sides are working on resolving the land dispute through talks and discussions. Geng said, “The Chinese side urges the Indian side to respect its commitments and to follow the appropriate consent and avoid doing any such work, due to which the border dispute becomes more and more complicated.
He said to Xinhua, “These three areas, between the illegal McMahon Line and the traditional border between India and China, have always been a part of China. He said that the McMahon line, drawn by Britain in 1914, was an effort to include these areas in the Indian territory.
China regularly opposes the visit of Indian leaders in Arunachal Pradesh and makes a claim on the state. There are 3488 km disputed areas between India and China. So far 20 rounds have been negotiated through a special representative to resolve the issue between the two sides.
