BEIJING, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 11th Aug, 2026) A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson has said that China does not recognize the so-called "Arunachal Pradesh" illegally set up by India. Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the remarks when asked to comment on the report that India issued on Aug.7 the "standard names" of 27 locations in the so-called "Arunachal Pradesh." "Zangnan region is China's territory," Guo said, adding that India's move of attempting to replace Names long used by China with its so-called "standard names" is illegal, null and void.
