According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on August 12, Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, answered reporters' questions.
Bloomberg reporter asked: Videos circulating on Indian social media show that China has increased military activities in the disputed border area between China and India. An Indian government spokesman did not deny that a new border incident has occurred. Can China confirm that there has been a new incident in the border area between China and India recently? Has China increased its military activities in the disputed area? (Reuters also asked this question.)
Guo Jiaqun stated that currently, the situation along the China-India border is generally stable. Last week, China and India held their 36th meeting of the Border Affairs Consultation and Coordination Mechanism, agreeing to maintain communication through diplomatic and military channels in order to jointly maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas.
According to previous reports, on August 10, when answering reporters, Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was asked by a Bloomberg reporter: According to reports, on the 7th, India announced the so-called 'official names' for 27 locations in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. The Indian Home Ministry issued a statement saying that officially marking these location names on the map will help the public better understand the relevant areas. What is China's response to this?
Regarding this, Guo Jiaqun emphasized at that time that the Tibetan Plateau region is Chinese territory, and China never recognizes the so-called "Arunachal Pradesh" established illegally by India. The Indian side's attempt to announce a so-called "standard name" in order to replace the place names long used by China is illegal and invalid. It cannot change the fact that the Tibetan Plateau region belongs to China.
