Chinese experts on Sunday slammed India's latest move of identifying 27 locations in China's Zangnan area by their so-called standard names on its official map as self-deception, which runs counter to the improving momentum in bilateral relations and could complicate efforts to properly handle border issues.
The Indian government on Friday said the updated Survey of India map included "four mountain passes and a high-altitude lake," and claimed that the move "is intended to ensure the correct identification of these places" and "improve public awareness of their geographical and historical significance," according to the Times of India.
The claim came shortly after the 36th meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on China-India Border Affairs (WMCC) was held on August 6 in New Delhi.
During the meeting, officials from both sides discussed issues including boundary delimitation, border management and control, mechanism building, and cross-border cooperation. They agreed to maintain communication through diplomatic and military channels and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the border areas, according to a statement released by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday.
China has been carrying out standardization of geographical names in the region for a long time. At a time when China-India relations are showing signs of improvement and leaders from both countries are expected to engage through multilateral platforms, any unilateral action by India that escalates the border situation shows no point and will not serve the broader interests of bilateral relations, Qian Feng, director of the Research Department at Tsinghua University's National Strategy Institute, told the Global Times on Sunday.
Qian said India should avoid turning border issue into a larger dispute, as such actions could stifle the improving political ties between the two countries.
Consistent position
China's position on the Zangnan region is consistent. The area covers parts of Nyingchi and Shannan and is located in Southwest China's Xizang region, which has been China's territory since ancient times.
Since 2017, China's Ministry of Civil Affairs has released six batches of standardized names for locations in Zangnan, with a total of 112 names announced as of April 2026. These names cover villages, mountain passes, rivers and peaks, accompanied by standardized Chinese and Tibetan names as well as geographic coordinates.
The dispute over the region has a long historical background. The illegal "McMahon Line" drawn between China and India during the 1914 Simla Convention was never signed or recognized by successive Chinese governments and therefore has no legal validity.
After China's Ministry of Civil Affairs published the sixth batch of names that should be used for places in Zangnan region on April 10, two days later, the spokesperson for India's Ministry of External Affairs expressed rejection to China assigning names to places in so-called "Arunachal Pradesh," adding that these actions detract from ongoing efforts to stabilize bilateral ties.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a routine press briefing on April 14 that Zangnan region is China's territory. China does not recognize the so-called "Arunachal Pradesh" illegally set up by India. It is fully within China's sovereign rights for the Chinese government to issue standard names for some of the places in Zangnan.
China-India relations are generally stable at the moment. China's commitment to improving and growing China-India relations has not changed. We hope the two sides will work in the same direction and act more in ways conducive to bilateral relations, Guo stressed.
India's latest naming of 27 locations is a unilateral administrative move and does not alter the legal status of the area, Guo Xuetang, a professor at the center for South Asia and Indian Ocean Studies under Shanghai International Studies University, told the Global Times.
According to Guo Xuetang, India's move is an attempt to strengthen its claim of control over the area and create additional leverage in future boundary negotiations. However, such actions have no practical meaning and will only undermine the atmosphere for negotiations between the two countries.
Not merely from the perspective of international law, Zangnan region has culturally, religiously and historically been connected within Xizang, with close links between local communities and civilization, the expert stressed.
Positive momentum
Despite differences over the boundary issue, China and India have in recent months continued efforts to stabilize relations. In December 2024, China and India's representatives for boundary affairs reached a six-point consensus during talks.
Last week, the Nathu La Pass, which was closed for six years, officially resumed operations, signaling a new phase of mutually beneficial cooperation and development in cross-border trade.
During a meeting between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on July 22 in Manila, the Philippines, Wang said China and India should consolidate the positive momentum in bilateral relations, and strengthen coordination and cooperation in international and regional affairs, while Jaishankar said India's positions on issues concerning Taiwan and Xizang have not changed, and that India respects China's sovereignty, Xinhua reported.
In the past two years, leaders of China and India have met in Kazan, Russia, and Tianjin, China, and agreed that China and India are partners rather than rivals, and that their development should be viewed as opportunities rather than threats, Wang said.
"India's latest move is essentially an attempt to reinforce its claims over disputed territory and counter China's sovereignty position, a move that amounts to self-deception. Unilateral name changes cannot alter the historical and legal facts surrounding the Zangnan region, nor can they shake China's resolve to safeguard its territorial sovereignty," Guo Xuetang said.
The only way to resolve the China-India boundary issue is through equal negotiations and a fair settlement based on historical and legal principles, while unilateral actions that create tensions or change the status quo will only harm mutual trust and border stability, Guo said.
。体坛周报全媒体记者王晓瑞报道半个月前，国足亚洲杯小组赛对手吉尔吉斯斯坦队还信誓旦旦，扬言全力争取小组出线。结果就在8月25日，该队主教练普罗辛内斯基正式离任。据悉，普罗辛内斯基的突然下课，与吉尔吉斯斯坦足协试图修改其工作合同条款有关。

二 | 其离任后，目前该队主教练一职，由本土教练乌尔马特·阿布杜凯莫夫接任。在外界看来，普罗辛内斯基的下课十分突然。但实际上，早在今年6月，他的帅位就出现了松动。这倒不是说吉尔吉斯斯坦队成绩有多糟糕，尽管在其执教的4场比赛中，该队2平2负一场未赢。但被公认的关键因素，还是在于吉尔吉斯斯坦足协高层的变动。去年12月，普罗辛内斯基接手吉尔吉斯斯坦国家队，合同为期一年零一个月。但其中也规定：若在2027年亚洲杯上取得佳绩，双方将续约3年。当时，对于普罗辛内斯基的到来，时任吉尔吉斯斯坦足协主席卡姆奇别克·塔什耶夫还是满怀期待。不仅在签约仪式上大谈“远大目标”，而且，也希望这位克罗地亚名宿能够为国家队注入新的活力，在实力上寻求进一步的质变。

三 | 要知道在上一届世界杯预选赛，吉尔吉斯斯坦队不仅杀入18强赛，甚至还击败了亚洲杯冠军卡塔尔队、一胜一平朝鲜队。也正因此，吉尔吉斯斯坦各界对于普罗辛内斯基都是寄予厚望。后者刚上任时，也是满怀雄心壮志，甚至喊出力争亚洲杯冠军的口号。但很快，普罗辛内斯基就察觉到现实与理想的差距。今年5月，他公开改口称，亚洲杯目标是踢出好看的足球并争取小组出线。外界普遍认为，这与吉尔吉斯斯坦队热身赛先后以0比1和2比5，不敌赤道几内亚、马达加斯加队还是有很大关系。即便如此，普罗辛内斯基当时也没有想要打道回府。而且，吉尔吉斯斯坦队针对下一个世预赛周期，也的确需要培养新人、更新换代。然而就在4月中旬，鼎力将其引进吉尔吉斯斯坦的足协主席卡姆奇别克·塔什耶夫宣布不再参加竞选，很快，现任吉尔吉斯斯坦内阁主席阿德尔别克·卡西马利耶夫当选新一届足协掌门人。据称卡西马利耶夫上任不到一周，迅速就召开了国家队教练组大会，重点讨论即将到来的目标、战略方向和足球发展计划。6月上旬，有吉尔吉斯斯坦媒体宣称，普罗辛内斯基已经萌生去意。但很快，后者在接受亚足联采访时，重申带队亚洲杯的重要性。然而就在最近，吉尔吉斯斯坦足协找到普帅，提议重新协商现有工作合同中的部分条款，但被普罗辛内斯基断然拒绝。有消息称，除了涉及合同中续约3年的内容，前任足协主席塔什耶夫希望普罗辛内斯基，能够在预期的框架内完成一项长期工程，但重新谈判的协议内容则存在很大转变。最终，在无法接受修改合同的情况下，普罗辛内斯基决定与吉尔吉斯斯坦足协解约，提前终止合同并不再带队征战亚洲杯。

四 | 由于上任仅8个月且带队只踢了4场比赛，吉尔吉斯斯坦媒体认为，很难简单定义普帅究竟是成功抑或失败：“他一场比赛都没赢，但也没有带队参加洲际大赛。他开始着手球队的复兴和换代，然而未能实现就已离任。

五 | ”不过在很多人看来，吉尔吉斯斯坦足协的高层变动，是导致事态不断发展的一个因素，也许塔什耶夫的离任不代表什么，但领导层的更迭，很快就导致该项目进程中一个转折。而对于中国队来讲，普罗辛内斯基的突然下课，无疑需要引起关注，一方面表明吉尔吉斯斯坦队可能会在未来数月，针对技战术和人员储备做出较大变动。另外，该队2026年迄今的比赛录像，已基本上没有太多参考价值。普罗辛内斯基离任后，吉尔吉斯斯坦足协任命本土教练乌尔马特·阿布杜凯莫夫接手国家队，并确定由其带队参加亚洲杯。此前，阿布杜凯莫夫是吉尔吉斯斯坦U23主教练，今年5月才刚上任。但6月带队赴泰国拉练就有不俗表现，热身赛战平泰国、击败韩国。而在去年9月，他也曾经短暂代理吉尔吉斯斯坦队主帅征战中亚杯，结果1平2负小组赛出局。阿布杜凯莫夫被上调后，另一位本土教练纳迪尔别克·马马达利耶夫被任命为吉尔吉斯斯坦U23主帅，负责带队征战即将开打的亚运会。
