A report by Hindustan Times says the map was posted by the Chinese section of the foreign ministry’s website on Friday. “The map is especially different from the Indian perception of the Line of Actual Control in the depiction of the strategic tri-junction of India, Bhutan and China,” the report says. The Chinese have claimed areas far south of what both India and Bhutan claim – New Delhi’s claim is till Batang La, while Beijing has laid claim to the territory till Mount Gipmochi. Both India and Bhutan have asked China to maintain status quo, with New Delhi saying the construction activity has “serious security implications”. China has claimed the Donglang area has been with it since “ancient times”.
