In what could lead to yet another diplomatic flare-up, China has released what it called the "2023 edition of the standard map" of the country showing Aksai Chin – one of the two large disputed border areas between India and China – and whole of Arunachal Pradesh within its territory, according to reports quoting local Chinese media. The map was released on Monday, August 29, by China's Ministry of Natural Resources, the reports said. The latest development has come four months after Beijing had announced in April that it will "standardise" names of 11 places in Arunachal Pradesh.
