The United States has strongly opposed China’s assertion of sovereignty over Arunachal Pradesh, terming it as “unilateral attempts” by Beijing to assert its territorial claims. This comes after China released a list of Chinese names for 30 locations in India’s northeastern state, a move that has been rejected by India as “senseless.” Arunachal Pradesh, which China refers to as South Tibet, has been a point of contention between the two countries, with India asserting its integral part of its territory. The United States has expressed its support for India’s position, recognizing Arunachal Pradesh as Indian territory and opposing any unilateral attempts to advance territorial claims.
