Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun answered questions from reporters on August 10, 2026. Some details are as follows: Bloomberg Reporter: According to reports, on the 7th, India announced the so-called “standard names” for 27 locations in “Arunachal Pradesh.” India's Ministry of Home Affairs issued a statement saying that officially marking the names of places on the map will help the public better understand the relevant regions. What is the Chinese side's response to this? Guo Jiakun: Southern Tibet is Chinese territory, and China has never recognized the so-called “Arunachal Pradesh” illegally established by India. India's announcement of so-called “standard names” in an attempt to replace place names used by China for a long time is illegal and invalid, and cannot change the fact that the southern Tibet region belongs to China.
