Never acknowledged existence of Arunachal Pradesh: China

Amid reports that Chinese troops had intruded into the Indian side of the border in Arunachal Pradesh, China on Wednesday said it had "never acknowledged the existence of so-called Arunachal Pradesh". "I want to mention that between China and India, there is a well-developed mechanism for border-related affairs," it added. China claims Arunachal Pradesh is part of South Tibet.
