4 Asian Countries Reject China’s New Map, Support India’s Claims

According to a statement on the country’s official news website, Vietnam said that China’s official map published this week violates both its jurisdiction over its oceans and sovereignty over the Spratly and Paracel Islands.

Pham Thu Hang, the spokesman for Vietnam’s foreign affairs ministry said, “China’s sovereignty and marine claims based on the nine-dotted line on the map are “invalid,” according to the statement”. According to the dotted line, Vietnam “resolutely opposes all Chinese claims in the South China Sea,” Hang continued in the statement.

The map has also been rejected by other nations. On Tuesday, India objected to the map’s depiction of parts of Arunachal Pradesh as being under Chinese rule. Additionally, the Philippines said that it does not acknowledge China’s sweeping claims in the South China Sea. In sternly worded remarks, the governments of Malaysia and Taiwan have also accused Beijing of grabbing their territory.

Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, responded to a question about the map during a routine news briefing on Wednesday in Beijing by saying his country hoped the “relevant sides can remain objective and calm and refrain from overinterpreting.” China published the map so that writers, businesses, and others may refer to the official version. When using maps, foreign businesses can encounter issues with the Chinese authorities.
