In another setback for India, the Chinese government renamed the Arunachal Pradesh as Zangnan.
Meanwhile, China has declared giving Chinese names to places in Zangnan (Arunachal Pradesh) as its sovereign decision.
A statement issued by Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that Zangnan is a part of China in terms of history, geography and administration.
China said that naming these locations with Chinese names is part of our internal matter.
India considers Zangnan as part of its territory under the name Arunachal Pradesh whereas China regards it as part of southern Tibet.
