China`s construction activities on "its own territory" is "normal" and is entirely a matter of sovereignty, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday, reacting to a report about China building a new village in Arunachal Pradesh.
"China`s position on the east sector of the China-India boundary, or Zangnan region (the 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," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told a media briefing while responding to a question.
