Ministry of Defense: South Tibet has been China's territory since ancient times

On the afternoon of March 28, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. Major Wu Qian, Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions from reporters.


   Reporter: It is reported that the Indian Ministry of Defense said that it is "absurd" for China to claim that South Tibet is an inherent territory of China, and that "Arunachal Pradesh" is an integral part of India. The United States, also known as "Arunachal Pradesh", is an Indian territory and opposes breaking through the line of control through military or civil means. What's the speaker's response?


   Wu Qian: South Tibet has been China's territory since ancient times, which is an undeniable fact. Where does Arunachal Pradesh come from?


The United States has a poor historical record in provoking disputes among other countries and realizing its own interests, which is clearly seen by the international community. China and India have perfect border related mechanisms and communication channels, and both sides have the ability and willingness to properly handle border issues through dialogue and consultation.
