A day after India slammed China for inventing names of places in Arunachal Pradesh, China doubled down on its claim over the state, saying that the region was under its sovereignty. In a routine press conference, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said that "Zangnan" (Arunachal Pradesh) was part of China's territory and renaming places in the region was within its sovereign rights.
