China has released a fourth list of 30 new names for various localities in Arunachal Pradesh, demonstrating its determination to assert territorial claims over the Indian state. India has constantly rejected China`s renaming of sites in Arunachal Pradesh, stating that the state is an integral part of India and that changing names does not change that, reported PTI.
Per the PTI report, the Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs has produced the most recent list of standardised geographical names for the region, known as Zangnan in Chinese, which Beijing considers part of south Tibet. The implementation measures, which are set to take effect on May 1, restrict the unauthorised use of foreign language place names that could undermine China`s territorial sovereignty.
