China on Arunachal village report

In news

China claims Arunachal Pradesh as part of southern Tibet, while India's consistent stand has been that the northeastern state is an integral and inalienable part of the country

Report
  • Reports based on satellite images show a new village of over 100 homes constructed by China in Arunachal Pradesh.
  • The first image dated August 26, 2019, did not show any human habitation, but the second one of November 2020 showed a row of structures.
  • The report about China setting up a new village in Arunachal Pradesh comes amid a military stand-off in eastern Ladakh for over eight months.
India and China border dispute
  • The Sino-Indian border dispute is an ongoing territorial dispute over the sovereignty of two relatively large, and several smaller, separated pieces of territory between China and India.
  • The first of which, Aksai Chin, is claimed by China as part of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Tibet Autonomous Region and claimed by India as part of the union territory of Ladakh; it is a virtually uninhabited high-altitude wasteland in the larger regions of Kashmir and Tibet and is crossed by the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway.
  • The other disputed territory is south of the McMahon Line, formerly known as the North East Frontier Agency and now called Arunachal Pradesh.
  • The McMahon Line was part of the 1914 Simla Convention signed between British India and Tibet, without China's agreement.
