China’s new passport map falsely includes AP, Aksai Chin as part of China

Another game by China:

• The watermark on fresh launched e-passports by China falsely depict Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin in J&K as parts of China.

Reaction from India:

• India has registered a strong protest with China
• India has also started imprinting its own map on visas that are issued to Chinese nationals :)

China crossing all limits:

• The false depiction is not specific to India alone, but China has started showing disputed islands in the South China Sea as Chinese territory.
• Vietnam and the Philippines have also officially registered their protest with China.
• Earlier, China had triggered a controversy by supplying stapled visas to residents of J&K and denied visas to Indian citizens from Arunachal Pradesh.
