A new map of China recently published by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) not only includes Taiwan and most of the South China Sea as part of China’s territory but a large chunk of India as well, Breitbart reports.

What is described as the ‘standard map of China’ was released by the Communist regime’s Ministry of Natural Resources on Monday, August 28, 2023.

The CCP issues a map of China each year that routinely includes territory belonging to other countries as part of Chinese territory.

In addition to a huge chunk of Northern India that was renamed ‘South Tibet’, this year’s map included territorial waters that are part of Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Speaking on behalf of the Indian government, Arindam Bagchi condemned CCP’s illegal claim stating:

“This is not the first time China has made such an attempt. We reject this outright. Arunachal Pradesh is, has been and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India. Attempts to assign invented names will not alter this reality.”
