India has been rejecting China’s renaming of places in Arunachal Pradesh, saying the state is an integral part of the country and assigning “invented” names does not change this reality. The Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs has released the fourth list of standardized geographical names in Zangnan. The state-run Global Times reported on Sunday.
