China’s ‘map game’ comes a week after PM Modi and Xi Jinping shared the stage at BRICS Summit in South Africa. The map released on August 28 showed Arunachal Pradesh and the Aksai Chin region as part of its territory. Meanwhile, China’s map provocation drew sharp criticism from defence expert Shiwalee Deshpande and Congress leader Manish Tiwari. The information regarding the latest ‘standard map’ was shared by China’s state owned media Global Times on platform X.
