China Now Says It Does Not Recognise Ladakh, Calls It An 'Illegal Establishment' Of India

As per Chinese state mouthpiece Global Times, this statement was made by Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin on the context of India building border roads in the region.

It may be recalled that the current India-China conflict was triggered by the Chinese who demanded that India stop its infrastructure works near the LAC. India in response has flatly refused to do so and India's strategic road building in Ladakh has now become 10 times faster.

China over the years has also refused to recognise Arunachal Pradesh as being part of India has also coined its own names for the state's territories.
