India says it has lodged a “strong protest” with China over a new map that lays claim to its territory.
Indian media have reported that the map shows the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and the disputed Aksai Chin plateau as China’s territory.
Humanity is so stupid when it comes to “territory” and we are not the only species that acts like beasts about it.
Funny how Native Americans had the idea that land was meant to be used, not owned.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Indian media have reported that the map shows the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and the disputed Aksai Chin plateau as China’s territory.
India’s protest comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke on the sidelines of the Brics summit in South Africa.
The source of the tension between the neighbours is a disputed 3,440km (2,100 mile)-long de facto border along the Himalayas - called the Line of Actual Control, or LAC - which is poorly demarcated.
China says it considers the whole of Arunachal Pradesh its territory, calling it “South Tibet” - a claim India firmly rejects.
In April, Delhi reacted sharply to China’s attempts to rename 11 places in Arunachal Pradesh, saying the state would always be "an “integral and inalienable part of India”.
Relations between India and China have worsened since 2020, when their troops were involved in a deadly clash at the Galwan valley in Ladakh - it was the first fatal confrontation between the two sides since 1975.

What’s stopping India from publishing their own maps with Chinese territory included in them? Add Tibet and some other neighbouring counties of China into Indian territory and say it’s India.
Modi doesnt have the nerve for it.
Who does?
Every Indian who has spoken up about in public does.
Then where are those Indians trying to stand in any sort of elections?
They are. They’re being raided by Modi’s ED-CBI-IT, being kicked out of Parliament, have fake cases lodged against them by Modi-Shah.
One of the more prescient (or maybe just well researched) parts of Neal Stephenson’s latest book (the uneven but very “Stephenson” Termination Shock) was the low intensity, gun-free warfare along the Indian-Chinese border, including younger types turning it into a flashy and stylized social media thing, not unlike some of the Ukrainian units today in their very real shooting war.
This is just another 9 dash line tactic.
