China’s development and construction activities “within its own territory” are “normal” and “entirely a matter of sovereignty”, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday when asked to react to reports that Beijing has constructed a new village in Arunachal Pradesh.
“First, I’d like to tell you that China’s position on the east sector of the China-India boundary, or Zangnan (southern part of China’s Tibet), is consistent and clear. We have never recognised the so-called ‘Arunachal Pradesh’ illegally established on the Chinese territory,” said the ministry’s spokesperson Hua Chunying.
