Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has recently given a statement which has trapped China in its own trap. Pema Khandu said that Arunachal Pradesh shares its border with Tibet, not with China.

In fact, China has always been making illegal claims on Arunachal Pradesh. China, which calls Arunachal Pradesh as Jangnan, does not desist from its antics and many times in this effort it even does the audacity of changing the names of many parts of Arunachal Pradesh.

'Arunachal's border with Tibet':

In an interview with news agency PTI, when Pema Khandu was told that Arunachal Pradesh shares a 1200 km long border with China, he immediately interrupted and said, "Let me correct you here. Our border touches Tibet, not China."

Khandu said, 'No state of India shares a land border with China. However, the border is definitely with Tibet, which was forcibly occupied by China in the 1950s.' He said that officially Tibet is under China now, but originally our border was with Tibet.

Gave a befitting reply to China
The CM said Arunachal Pradesh shares only three international borders. About 150 km with Bhutan, about 550 km with Myanmar and with Tibet, one of the longest borders of the country. Pema Khandu's reply is India's clear message to China.
China has several times made absurd attempts to illegally change the names of areas in Arunachal Pradesh and issue maps to show the state within its borders. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar had outright rejected these claims of China and said that just by issuing maps and making absurd claims, other people's territory does not become yours.
