China's Provocative New Map Deepens Tensions with India and Asian Nations
TL;DR
India has lodged a diplomatic protest against China over a new map that reaffirms Beijing's claims to contested territory, including Arunachal Pradesh, a state in India's far northeast. The map's release comes at a sensitive time as speculation grows about a possible settlement of the border dispute between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Malaysia, Taiwan, and the Philippines have also criticized China's claims over the South China Sea and Taiwan. Xi's expected absence from the upcoming G-20 summit in New Delhi is seen as a snub to India, which has invested heavily in promoting the event.
