China publishes new version of their “standard map” outlining its territorial claims

China publishes their “standard map”: China on Monday formally unveiled the version of its “standard map” for 2023 that includes the disputed territories, such as its claims to Arunachal Pradesh, the Aksai Chin region, Taiwan, and the South China Sea.

Arunachal Pradesh has “always been” and “always will be” a vital part of India, the nation has reaffirmed time and time again.

“The 2023 edition of China’s standard map was officially released on Monday and launched on the website of the standard map service hosted by the Ministry of Natural Resources,” state-run c said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The Global Times’ map also included Aksai Chin, which China claimed as South Tibet and which it had seized during the 1962 conflict, as well as Arunachal Pradesh.

In many communications with China, India has reaffirmed that “Arunachal Pradesh was, is, and always will remain an integral and inalienable part of India.”

The nine-dash line, which claims a huge portion of the South China Sea, and China’s claims to the estranged island of Taiwan were also shown on the map.

Taiwan is seen by China as a part of its territory, and President Xi Jinping of China has made it one of his stated goals to integrate Taiwan into the mainland.

Counterclaims over the South China Sea regions have been made by Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Malaysia.
