A new map of Beijing's claimed territories has been described as composed of 'absurd claims' and out of touch with 'objective reality.'
Following outcry over the new map, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said the nation hoped others would see the map in an"objective and rational" way.
Rekha Sharma, the country's communications minister, said government officials"need to talk through diplomatic channel[s]" with China about the map, after which it would make its views on the map public, according to Nepal News. Jeff Liu, a spokesperson for Taiwan's Foreign Ministry, told reporters on Wednesday that"the People's Republic of China has never ruled Taiwan. That is the fact and the status quo universally recognized by the international community."
"We have today lodged a strong protest through diplomatic channels with the Chinese side on the so-called 2023 'standard map' of China that lays claim to India's territory," Arindam Bagchi, a spokesperson for India's External Affairs Ministry, said on Wednesday.
