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. 
。    由你来说：靠美艳女角色打开赛道的《剑星》竟遭DEI入侵，金亨泰引狼入室引玩家担忧。你觉得Shift Up会在后续作品中融入“正确”元素吗？     8月20日，前PlayStation公关负责人Jerome Benzadon通过社交平台宣布，自己将正式加入韩国游戏开发商Shift Up，担任全球公关总监，负责公司旗下游戏的全球宣发与推广工作。

B |     Jerome Benzadon表示，在PlayStation度过了难忘的13年后，他非常高兴能够加入Shift Up，并期待与金亨泰及其团队合作，负责相关作品的全球宣传推广。他还特别提到了团队此前打造的作品，称自己已经迫不及待希望参与其中。据了解，Jerome Benzadon此前曾在PlayStation工作长达13年，拥有丰富的游戏行业公关与市场推广经验。此前他将产品与企业公关列为自身专长之一，同时在个人简介中提及自己“专注于DEI”等相关议题。    这一履历信息也迅速引发部分玩家讨论。由于Shift Up此前凭借《剑星》以及《妮姬》等作品形成了较为鲜明的女性角色审美与视觉风格，一些玩家担心，拥有DEI相关工作理念的新任全球公关负责人加入后，会不会对公司未来作品的角色设计、市场宣传以及全球化策略产生影响。    在相关讨论中，有玩家表示自己今后“不会再预购任何游戏”，也有人直接质疑Shift Up此次人事安排；还有玩家认为，Shift Up旗下作品本身就是凭借角色设计和女性角色魅力获得大量关注，因此聘请这样一位强调DEI理念的公关负责人可能存在一定的风格冲突。    不过需要注意的是，目前并没有证据表明Jerome Benzadon加入Shift Up后会推动修改公司游戏中的角色设计，也没有官方消息确认DEI理念将影响《剑星》后续作品或Shift Up未来游戏。目前玩家的相关担忧主要源自其个人职业履历中的公开信息，最终是否会对公司作品产生实际影响，还有待后续观察。    对于Shift Up而言，随着《剑星》取得成功并进一步推进全球市场布局，聘请拥有多年PlayStation公关经验的高管，也意味着公司正在进一步强化自身的国际化发行与品牌推广能力。
