China ‘renames’ non-existent rivers, ‘piece of land’ in Arunachal Pradesh https://ift.tt/7Djzubr

China’s latest claim to Arunachal Pradesh by releasing a list of “standardised geographical names” for 11 places in the frontier state turns out to be a random naming of isolated forest tracts, nondescript peaks, non-existent rivers and town areas superficially bound together as part of Cona, Zayu and Medog counties in Nyingchi prefecture of Tibet. For instance, the coordinates of two rivers named by the Chinese as “Qiburi He” and “Geduo He” weren’t provided, with the civil affairs ministry simply claiming these were “specific locations”.
