Chinese
attack:

India's actions are only "exacerbating the border issue". Chinese
Foreign Minister Wang Wenbin reiterated China's position, saying that it does
not recognize Arunachal Pradesh as part of India and is against India's
unsustainable development in southern Tibet.
India's
response:
India reiterates that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of its territory and rejects any attempt to change this fact by creating an "invented" name. This is not the first time China has opposed the visit of an Indian leader to Arunachal Pradesh.
